Wait.... I'm a finalist? Not sure I believe it yet. At least that eliminates one of my voting choices. But how am I going to choose? I have several favorites.

Popped in when I remembered there was a vote going on... Really, this round separated the children from the adults. Really fine work by everyone, but to try to decide on a winner in the vote, well, I just made a decision...

Wow. Thanks guys for the honor of being in the top 17. There were some amazing photos entered and I'm extremely surprised I made it in. I really needed that confidence boost today, so perfect timing.

Best of luck to all of the finalists.

Thanks!

from what i know of czech (i'm guessing this is written in polish or some other slavic language?), it is probably "apple on asphalt" the czech is jablko na asfalte. there aren't any articles, though, so feel free to throw in an 'an' or 'the' as you like.

really great shots, folks. i have to say, however, that "in the ditch" was by far my favorite so i was a little disappointed that it didn't make it into the finals. so i'll grant it a personal honorable mention from me (as if that's worth something )

excellent work all around!

sweet caroline

I did it- I voted- but what an agonizing decision. Some awesome work here.
