    Thanks so much for the positive comments.
    Thanks so much to the judges for all you time to judge this round.
    Thanks so much to Sean for making us think out side the box and helping us to achieve shots we would not have attempted otherwise.

    This nod from the judges is awesome! As you know I posted several ideas and really struggled to find just the right image. I love macro and your encouragement kept me plugging away.

    Thanks for including me! Congrats to all who participated in this one,. I think it's me favorite challenge so far.

    Best to all,

    I don't think there's any way I can pick just one. I'm so glad I didn't have to judge this round. I'd still be trying to narrow down the choices from a top 35....

    Congrats to all the finalists (and also to all the great shots that didn't make the voting round).

    Just another congrats to all the entrants for this round. It certainly was a hard round to judge for me because ALL of the images were so lovely. I'm very excited to see the outcome! I did my best to select a top 10, but once again...everyone deserves a big pat on the back for their beautiful images and creativity! You can find my top 10 comments as KFSPhotography on the comment pages.

    I found that there were really 2 camps in this theme..Those that went with the straightforward WTH image, and those that went for a completely abstract image... almost a form of modern art (Photo-bug, Nightpixels, Tidalstone-- to name a few). I respected each of these artistic approaches in my selection, as those were as equally on theme in my view.

    I very much enjoyed judging this round and was very inspired by each and every photo. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your judge :D

    Anxiously awaiting that poll to close!!!!!!!!!!!!!clap.gif

    Heads up!
    The poll will auto close at 11:58 PT tomorrow but I will not be able to post the official results until at least an hour or so after that. Provided I can break away for lunch.

    The main message here is that the official results may not happen right away and everyone may have to wait until that evening if the lunch break does not pan out.

    Sorry for the suspense prolonging news. :tiptoe:baldy
