Congrats to the winners.

AND a

BIG Congrats to all that didn't make it, do not be discouraged, even though the judges didn't think your photo made the cut, there are still those that like it, for beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!!

On to the Semi's...Whoohoooo....WE GET TO VOTE. I only hope and my
biggest wish is that voting will be based on Composition, Quality, and Tecs...and not based on favoritism or popularity...cuz that would be a discouragement and a total bummer!! I say this cuz it is human nature to always support your favorite photographer. I have seen in other contests where someone has posted the worst photo but due to "popularity" they rec'd the most votes....I really hope this does not happen here, be honest with your minds eye and not to loyalty!

With that said...GOOD LUCK TO THE SEMI FINALISTS and may your eyes behold what the Great Spirit lays before you!!

Great job everyone, lots of wonderful images. Especially would like to call out Chandi (Astronomical Poetry) and Paul Thomas McKee (Silent Sentinel). I thought they were both tremendous.
