    My thanks to the judges for including "Giant" in their selection. I am surprised and honoured to be in the voting round with such wonderful images.
    As many have said - now for the hard part, picking just one of so many faves "Eeny Meeny ...." :D

    Thanks!
    What a pleasure to be included in the finals, thank you so much.

    I have to tell you that, win or lose, I am equally as thrilled with how my photo came out. It may not be the best in the batch, but it is exactly what I needed. It started out to be something entirely different, but with the help and guidance of this group, I had to reshoot it and it turned out better than I had hoped for. Thanks to those who helped me with your feedback. The photo is actually part of another project, so I already feel like a winner just getting the feedback I received from the members here. clap.gif

    There are some awesome photos in the finals this time. It will be difficult choosing my favorite!
    ;) Jeff

    I finally voted. Seriously, there were so many I wanted to vote for that I have felt paralyzed for days. No point in second guessing now, but boy, every one of the 16 I had to choose from is a solid winner. What a round!
