    Wow great stuff, but for me the choice was easy, and although number four was pretty intreging, not being able to tell what it was at first, without reading the caption lead me to my other fav. shot.

    As many folks have said, a very tough call to pick just one.

    (even more so when I realized that the SM gang were once again flaunting a feature I'd love to have on my smugmug site, the ability to use a different thumbnail than the real image!)

    Tough, indeed. Lots of simply fantastic shots. I picked what I thought would be an underdog, as narrowing it down further was just impossible.

    Congratualations to all these fine photographers.

    Personally, I think 3 votes for first round would have been more fair. Not sure if the forum software would allow it.

    I wish I'd submitted something now, these are all rubbish...

    I jest of course, well done everyone there are some very special images included, maybe next year I'll be halfway towards producing something worthy of consideration.
