It was very exciting to see how far each of you pushed the meanings of each theme. (drum roll...)

Deep breath... Judge wear (jwear) and myself (sherstone), agreed on five images, giving you 15 finalists to choose from. Congratulations to all of you! :clap

The poll will remain open for 72 hours, and any previously registered member of DGrin may vote. :D

    The judges each have to pick 10 photos... so that's a potential of 20 photos in the voting round.. Well in this case the judges each picked 5 photos exactly the same, and 5 photos different.. therefore you end up with 15 for voting. Hope this clears it up!

    Wow, what a GREAT set of images. This round was definately a hard one---both in selecting an idea AND I'm sure for the judges to narrow down to the finalists. Everyone displayed such creativity this round :D Thank you to the judges for allowing me to make it to the final 15...an honor among these great shots!!!!!!!!!!thumb.gif

    I can't believe it! I know it's been said a billion times but... It truly is an honor to even be picked for the voting round, but to win 1st place out of soooo many amazing images is just unreal!

    Thank you to everyone who participated in this round!! It's so great to know that I was able to interpret a theme and produce an image that represented it well enough that other people could see it as well!!

    Once again, It is a great honor to be among so many wonderful people and photographers and to be able to win a challenge! Thank You!

    Alright lets do it again.. off to the next round.. Whoooo Hooooo!!! wings.gif
