    This was a really strong round. Congrats to all of the finalists! clap.gif

    I'm going to have to think about this for a bit. I still have 3 or 4 favorites.

    Well done to all entries and congratulations to the finalists!
    I wanted to let everyone know how I went about picking my top 10. I went through the gallery in large size blocking the entries names and not seeing any comments. I first went with images that immediately brought lace or leather to my mind, then went through looking for images that I liked - composition, conversion or interesting to me personally then to the best of my knowledge I looked at them technically.
    I must say that I had way over 10 images over and over again. It was very, very difficult to get down to the 10 and I am glad to see that some of the ones I cut out still made it to the finalists round.
    I will enter comments for all the entries over the next day or so.

    Congrats to all - I'm honored & happy to be included. Really tough time choosing just 1 - I was stuck till I insisted on help/opinions from the hubby!

    Sean - For future challenges, is there any way to get a link to the gallery included in the "Vote for the DSS ..." post above, like you did here:

    My comments for each of the images are now posted in the gallery ... :D

    Maybe it's just me (or am I overlooking a link?), but having to hunt for the original *ENTRY* post to find the gallery so I can look at all the shots &/or make comments, well I have to scroll down to find it (awful, isn't it?!) & I keep clicking on the wrong one (not sure if this is klutzy or 'ding dong nobodys home' but I'll vote for klutzy), so I guess I'm wondering if there is an easier way (or I'm just trying to enable laziness!!). I also wonder if there might be more comments made if the link to the gallery was provided in the voting post, especially if it included a suggestion or encouragement for people to make comments. Probably not, but it's a thought. :D

    All the links to everything DSS are located in the sticky thread called The DGRIN SHARP SHOOTERS (DSS) Challenges (Quick links to all things official)

    I will make a point of trying to remember to link to the gallery in future polls though.

    Congrats to all. It was a hard round to sit out due to my camera being in the shop with a mirror failure. A backup is now safely in hand and I'll be back in the saddle for the next one.

    Congrats ot the winners. Great job this round. So many variations.
