    Aperture addict - I love it! Wish I thought of that onene_nau.gif ! Hey all you guys on Dgrin, each and every one of you that I've encountered so far has just been the greatest! Flickr? Who dat? I'm actually kind of trying to work up the nerve to submit something to the Refinery. Whipping post had more of a..... challenging, "abandon all hope when you submit here," feeling to the name.... Anyway it's been a great pleasure to share & view with you all! w

    Late to the party here (was out of town), but congrats to all! This was defiinitely the "small but mighty" round - not as many entries as there often are, but gaWOW the overall quality! Great job to everybody who submitted and, of course, the worthy finalists! clap.gif

    Yeah, it was a small round. I wonder how many last minute entries didn't happen because of the outage? I tried to upload a different photo at around 10PM US eastern time on Sunday night and smugmug was down for the count with some technical issues. When the issues weren't resolved by 11:00PM I went to bed hoping that by morning our resident gurus would have things up and running again. Fortunately the magic was performed by then and I was able to upload my different photo with minutes to spare.
