A really cracking picture
Ginger your photo is a really lovely shot and a deserved winner. I found it really hard to choose between the finalists, my favorites being your pic and "arches to black".

Well done!!!

I want to add my

Scott, you scared the HELL out of me...........or rather last night did! Your photo was so outstanding, and well, you were up, people voted a couple of times...........

I don't know, I did not expect to be where I was. No way! I did not expect to make the finals, then people were voting for it. I e-mailed my family and friends that I was happy, and would be happy when my vote went down.

Then I started getting excited!

How the heck to choose???? I had no problem not voting for myself, so many I loved. (Last night I was wishing I had voted for myself. I was insane!)

All, I can say Scott is that yours was a hell of a photo as you hear others say, too.

I am honored to be where I am today and very pleased. If it had gone the other way, it would have been only fitting. Geez, so many photos deserving a blue ribbon!

Now, how are you all coming on "Rough"???? I was having trouble with that myself. Then I would think to hold off, at least until the sun came out for textures.

Don't forget dates. Please don't, hey, I usually remind people if I see they are new, or excited and forgot something. I can't this time. Something to think about.

Thanks, Scott,

ginger

Virginia, since you asked, smile, this makes FOUR! (But I have been in this since the beginning almost.)

That was one reason I was so excited. I have not put my winners forward in a gallery before. I just did, found out the dates as close as I could.

Then I put it on Daily Photos for certain people to see and said, "OK, I am just bragging".

Here is my URL for the winners:

I even like them all, all over again. For awhile Bill was the only photo I liked. The first one was the one of the fence. I pretty well found out when I took it, but I was not sure what the Challenge was. (Curves? Is that right?)

Oh, guys, gals, I am a happy WOman!

Thanks and thanks and thanks,
and thanks for all who voted for the ones I couldn't. Couldn't vote
for but one.

Thanks for participating. With 70 some good photos, I had to do a
double take to see that I was in the finals!

And I would especially like to congratulate the dog! The first dog to make it into the finals that I remember. I always tell people not to enter dogs!
The jinx may be over!

Big Grin!

Ginger,

I didn't really get excited about the challenge until I showed up among the finalists. Then I saw the others and figured, nah, no way!

Then your numbers and mine started to race (but I was always behind) so I figured the best I could do was to place (win, place, show). The shot was, as I noted in another, post just something I have been wanting to do since the building was complete a year or two ago. It just turned out way better than I ever expected (and I think I will have to go back and re-shoot it, I see problems, but we all see problems in our work).

Rough is really giving me a rough time. I've had a couple of idea, but they haven't turned into much. I still have next week-end. We'll just have to see what happens.

Oh, I just went and looked at your other winners and I REALLY like the fence and the bird shots.

Yep Harj I agree. I'm so glad Ginger, that you changed the shot you did have in there at one point. I couldn't understand why you'd changed it when this one was obviously better. I did like Scott's too.
