    Yes, congrats to the 10 finalists!
    I haven't been around long enough to know the average challenge statistics, but the participation and awesome photos in this were great! What a hard decision this will be!

    Oh, my, with that group, I am shocked, but happy:): that I made the finals.

    Now, my problem is that at least three others of my favorites made the finals, too. It is not like I have nothing to vote for, or an easy fave to vote for.

    This was one tough challenge with all the good entries and just deciding who to vote for will be very difficult for me.

    Congrats to all who entered. In my opinion the photographs were top notch!

    Well done everyone, very hard choice. To me personally two or three really stand out here, but are all of a very high standard.

    A stunning collection, each of which stands alone as an excellent photograph leaving aside the "colors two" theme. Hard to pick one, but I've done it! Congratulations all!

    Feels like a Stock Photography Catalog
    WOW! This is as difficult to select as looking through a stock photography catalog and choosing only one. Don't know that I can do it. I may have to resort to drawing out of a hat or relying on devine providence for inspiration. Wish I could pick more than one. I'll have to think about this one for a while. I see why it took a little longer to post the finalists for this challenge. When does this poll close? Is it like the others; Thursday at noon EST?

    Great job everyone!

    WOW! I honestly don't see how the judges narrowed this down to the final 10. There are so many talented creative people here, it's just amazing. I see we have quite a few newbies here also. WONDERFUL! Kind of what I did, joined up and posted in a challenge right away. I didn't win, but hay, I'm still here. What fun.

    I'm thrilled and honored to be in the top 10 this time. To me if feels as if I've already won just being in this group.:):

    Congratulations to everyone.

    Many great shots, everyone - the 10 that are up here, and all the rest that aren't. Everyone deserves appause for their entries.

    We did had a very difficult time selecting only 10, because there were at least two dozen or more that really deserved to be up there. Lots and lots of email back and forth, and endless blurry-eyed hours staring at thumbs of all entries on my screen. I had fun running this and the next challenge - but relieved I don't do it full time like Andy used to. Remember, there's a new challenge going on right now, so get to work on your new entries, eh?!

    Make sure you all vote! That includes me too.... hmmmm......but which one? headscratch.gif

    Finally made my choice!! It was XXXXXXX mwink.gif. It was the one that originally made me go "Yum" when I first saw it, but the rest were great too.

    Haven't had a chance to think about the next one yet. Maybe at the weekend

    Congrats to all the finalists! I was really impressed with how creative everyone was with this challenge. There were shots that I didn't even think about that really motivated me to expeirment! Well, off to vote and it isn't an easy choice.

    I would like to thank everyone that voted for my fish picture.
    It's an honor for me to even be included in the top ten.
    There were so many pictures that I thought were better than mine.
