Congrats ED, you pulled it off with a wonderful shot. Quite an exciting challenge going down to the wire. Too bad I'm at work or I'd have to have a beer.

I also want to congratulate each of the participants in the challenge. There were many shots that worked for me. I also want to thank those who voted, and especially those that voted for me:D.

I had fun and hope you all had fun too.

Chris

Note: I just want to say that if there were no challenges, I would have never taken that photo. The fun in these challenges is to create a spark in an area where we may never venture otherwise.

Great shot ed..is he eating them or yelling at them to get out of the way ?

[Annabella]

Congratulations! :clap These challenges are fun, even when I can't come up with anything I find myself looking at everything through the eyes of the current theme...don't know if thats good or bad :dunno but sure puts a different spin on things....

I know it's my imagitation but I can almost hear it say: "MineMineMine"
It got my vote for sure! :thumb
Great picture! Congrats!

[Dee]

It was my favorite, Ed, from the minute I saw it.

I must admit though that there were a lot of excellent entries. I'm not sure I'd even know how to set up a shot like Pixy Delights.

Congratulations to all who made it to the voting stage!

Congradulations on winning the challenge.


Funny me--at first I thought it was bird seed flying swept by the wind--now I see it is flies. Well--to each his own.

Lovely shot.
