    Wow! I'm happy it's over! Even happier it's over the way it ended! rolleyes1.gif

    Amunsie, congratulations to you on a wonderful shot! I am honored to be your co-challenge-winner!

    There were a lot of fantastic shots, I didn't really think I had a chance until I saw the way voting was going.

    Thanks everyone!!

    A big thank you to everyone for the honor. I think all of the shots were winners, so I feel in extremely good company.

    Congrats to both Amunsie and Nir. Both shots were my top picsthumb.gif, but I was only able to vote for one:cry.

    On another note: not only congrats to all the placers, but to all who entered. It's one thing to share a photo, it's another to put it up for challenges. Kudos for all the entries, really nice work all the way aroundclap.gif.

    And 205 voters, WOW!! An excellent turnout. Anyone know the record so far for most voter turnouts?

    Congrats again,
    Chris

    I did make a list of Ch28 up to Ch38. The latest turnouts:
    Ch39: 159 (today's weather report)
    Ch40: 123 (danger)
    Ch41: 124 (movie titles)
    Ch42: 130 (Seinfield - free topic)

    So this challenge raised the bar in terms of great entries and partition of dgrin members.

    Congrats to Nir and Amunsie!

    I wonder if the two of you can form a voting block for the next challenge, etc.

    I loved both of those shots from the minute I saw them.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Great idea andy, I just wanted to poit out that:
    according to the caption, both challenges 22 and 23 had the theme " Time " ?
    I wasn't here at the time, so maybe you had the same theme twice.

    also, the caption says there are two challenges number 22.

    Very cool you two, and so was having that many voters. A nice field from whom to choose the finalists. So do you two act as co-judges for the next one?
