    Wow!!! I'm stunned to be included in the finalists, thank you so much cmurph and adbsgicom for one of you choosing my little photobowdown.gifbow

    This is going to be a very hard one to choose, there are just so many fantastic shots, to choose just one is nigh on impossible.

    Congratulations to all the finalists.

    Congrats to all of the entrants! I know you made it tough on the judges. I couldn't get to a top 10 and some of my faves did not make it to the final voting round.
    It was a tough choice, but I finally voted. :devbobo (This is me looking at a spreadhsheet of plusses and minuses for each final photo. :D )
