    Well,and you got birds, too.

    Looks like I have to go to Africa. Sell my dogs and go to Africa. Those shots, when I first saw them, I did not think of Kodak, I was just overwhelmed with the colors, but that is a fantastic shot. Well composed.

    Congrats, ginger

    To tell the truth Ginger, neither did I... I took this shot last January. I was suppose to return Jan. 05 but had a change of plan... It was Jan. when I found dgrin. I had never heard of KPOTD. I thought about submitting this shot and not submitting it. I hope it will tell an untold story and remind us of a unseen hope.

    peace.

    Other people will give you better directions. I just go to Kodak.com and look at the picture on the right at the bottom of the page, and there is the picture of that day, and a link to click on to submit your own.

    An exercise in futility for me, so far.

    Fish, I hope you mean me in the other one, if not it is 3, and I need a "mad" icon.

    I even sent in my last hope, my photo of Bill. That was last week. Right before all these people got all those e-mails of excellence.

    I am considering a black space for an avatar...........

    I would inundate them with photos, but I hate writing those "stories". I don't mind telling where, but why I think the photo fits the category. I want to scream, "ALL I WANT IS A KPOTD, please, pretty please" "I am from dgrin, I know Andy, you know ANDY, he is "famous" in photography and has won lots of KPOTDs. Well, I know him.".

    That is all I can really think to tell them. Except I could also list all the people here who I know who have these things.

    I would send in more if it weren't for the stories. As it is..........well, I thought the pelicans were good. Some people liked the photo of Bill. Maybe now they want bright and cheerful. I can go find bright and cheerful. People are more difficult because of the releases, but I can use my grandkids.

    Fish, maybe you and I are a member of some superior club and our photography is just tooo good. :cry :cry :cry

    I must say, though, Johno, that was a very good shot from Africa, and Nir, I know he works at it, and that is a nice cheerful kid shot. I even like it.

    Cheers, fish

    Yes, same time! Must have been "oscar" day for photographers in Kodak.

    He posted his on Wide Angle, called it something like "where else can I brag".

    Angelo! "SHE"?! I guess it's the photo in the avatar - 'Sarah of Dingle', taken in Ireland November 2003. Technicaly sucks and not worthy of display bigger than an avatar but one of my favorites ever!

    Ginger, I looked hard in the icon list for a smile that could use a name like "Ginger"... couldn't find one. I think this will need a special icon like fish. I will keep my eyes open.

    Don't put up a black spot... i have not won a challenge yet. How many have you won? Have you ever had your pics posted at the top of one of the worlds most popular photo forums? (hint, dgrin.) You're doing well. Remember to count your blessings, name them one by one.:D

    peace.
