Holy smokes folks. This Challenge was a doozy and the voting reflects this. There were 3 entries that ran neck and neck all 3 days. As those of you who have viewed the voting poll thread know, we wound up with a two-way tie for the winning image :clap :clap

So thank you all for participating, commenting and voting. Please congratulate the winners of Challenge 72-STILLNESS.

I'd also like to recognize the 3rd place winner, who finished a grand total of 1 vote behind the two winners. Way to go LiquidAir :thumb :thumb :clap :clap

Thank you all for making my task of hosting the last 2 Challenges, such a blast :D

    Congratulations Truth and Nik!!! This was a most difficult challenge to vote on as there were so many excellent entries. (Congrats also to LiquidAir for the excellent Egret image that missed by 1 vote.) It was a difficult task and I think the voting fell exactly as it should have as they were all wonderful images. thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Even by you winning, it helps me become a better photographer since I can see what people look for in a truly good shot.

    Cheers,

    Congratulations
    I would like to say congratulations as well, I had a hard time choosing between 2 when I voted Still Dawn and egrets I thought they were both awesome I did end up going with still dawn, I think I was the presentation that decided it for me. I would also like to say that there were alot of awesome photos, and being new it gives me something to strive for.

    Wow. I didn't expect to be in the top ten, much less the top three with all the great submissions. Kudos to all. There were some great images in this challenge.
