    knew it the first time I saw it!!! I love it, and with all the recent hubbub about challenges, I LOVE that this one took the grand prize since it's not a dog, a bird (no offense ginger), a kid, or a portrait...

    I don't normally feel this way, but... this has been one of, if not the, best field of entries i've seen here. Some excellent shots in the finals.

    Not being glib, all of y'all should feel proud of your work. Really good stuff.

    Congratulations, Dan. You know I liked that photo since I first saw it.

    Let's see, Doctor It, I had a bird entered in the last one, hehe, and I have kid entered in this one (look close, I think she has a black eye, does that help, nah, it is still a kid). I will have to try to enter a dog in the next one............that would be challenge suicide, will wait to see what the subject is, unless it is already announced.

    I swear, if I ever leave the house I am going to start a port a potty challenge. If they are still there.

    Hey, Dan, I drink my coffee with cream and sweet 'n low, I think I am going to make some now. Your coffee photo sure looks good.

    ginger:D (a blurred, abstract dog) Maybe it will be so blurred no one will see it.

    Coffee, gotta remember the subject, coffee......... gotta frame that photo, Dan, it is a real keeper!
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Holy cow! I really don't know what to say. Thanks everybody! There were some great photos in this challenge. I feel lucky to have made it into the top ten. At first I wasn't sure about entering this photo, but the feedback I got from the members made me change my mind. Thanks again, everybody.

    Thanks Ginger! I don't think the coffee would have been that good. After 75 takes it was stone cold. I didn't even drink it.

    Thanks gus! I preciate the compliment. It was also lot of hard work that went into this photo.

    There were two images in this challenge that were my favorites. The winner
    and also 'Lemonaid' by Snapple.

    Both fine images representative of the challenge.

    Congratulations Dan!

    I agree... some of the best challenge entries yet.

    But how come I always miss the voting thread??? I look for it and I never seem to find it.

    edit: ok, so NOW I see it. Now that it's closed. Was obviously looking on the wrong day. It was the one challenge I really wanted to vote on.. really well done everyone. And congrats to Dan.
