    Keeping in mind I started at 7am this morning scrubbing the gallery and walked away for a few hours when I got stumped on narrowing down choices, it felt like anything but light-speed for me. lol3.gif

    Guess that means people prefer more pins and needles? I can certainly oblige. mwink.gif

    Wow. That was quick. Great choices, BTW. Not so sure about mine being included, but I do appreciate it. There's just too many really great images this time. Can we vote for 3 or 4? rolleyes1.gif

    it says that the poll is closed... it should still be open, right? headscratch.gif i could be really confused, though, which would not be surprising in the least!

    edit --> wha? i just refreshed and now it's open. i remain thoroughly confused :)

    Now to figure out how to vote. Sheesh.

    I must say that while this round had fewer entrants than some, the standard is really astonishingly high - clap.gifbravo to everybody clap.gif(as the unofficial feedback thread shows, just about any of the shots could hsve been chosen as finalists and been winners - now that's quality!!)

    and based on the wide differences in everyone's faves,

    All the shots are nice, but I think there are one or two that really tried to do the assignment and not just match a song title to a photo in their libary. There are lots of song titles in the world and it's easy to just mix and match.

    That's how i narrowed down who to vote for. It came down to reading the lyrics of two songs I didn't know!

    Great work finalists!

    When the voting is over, I would be interested to know if the one that the judges picked in common is the top vote getter.

    Good luck to all of the finalists! And congratulations to all of the entrants on a great round!

    I bet the votes will be all spread out. Some of my favorites made it this far and some didn't make the judge's cut at all.
    I gave myself a few days to cast my vote and it wasn't easy. :whew
