Many, Many thanks go out to the judges on this round

I did not envy you at all, this round was one of the more exciting and
interesting ones so far.

Started out seemingly easy...

Congratulations to all the entrants and the top 10!

I'm off to buy some nose wipes

PaulThomasMcKee · Jun-11-2007, 09:12 PM

Congratulations to the top ten! Great shots and very well deserved for all.

Congratulations to all who entered, there were so many really interesting takes on the theme it was a lot of fun to watch the entries 'develop'.

Best wishes and best of luck in LPS7! I think it could be the most entertaining round yet!

I am SO Blown Away, I had to look 3x's to be sure I was seeing correctly

!

I am truly honored and flattered to be included in such an array of talented people!!

Many thanks to the judges, I know this could not have been an easy round to judge, in my opinion it was by far one of the most interesting.

Congratulations to Everyone, and I look forward to round 7!!

Nikolai · Jun-11-2007, 10:46 PM

Finalists, you guys did great!

As for the rest - don't despair, there is always a next one!

saurora · Jun-11-2007, 11:41 PM

Congratulations to all of you!!! This was an amazing group of entries. The quality of the entries has risen once again. I can't begin to tell you how difficult it was to narrow down this field. I came up with a large first cut that was very difficult to cut down to the final 10. All of you should be proud. I am truly impressed!!!

VisualXpressions · Jun-12-2007, 02:52 AM

Congratulations to all, I was exceedingly impressed with the entries, and didn't think my shot stood a chance in being in the top ten... I am well pleased that it did though, and look forward to the continuing competition.

richtersl · Jun-12-2007, 03:34 AM

Intimidating, actually.

To those of us who didn't make the top 10, on to LPS #7 we go!

urbanaries · Jun-12-2007, 07:11 AM

congrats to the finalists.....what an insanely tough round for the judges!!! I could never narrow my faves down to under 17. There were just so many amazing entries.

DaveK · Jun-12-2007, 07:34 AM

Well deserved win to the top 10. All wonderful images. It was a lot of fun and the feedback from the judges is most appreciated. For the 90+ of us falling short there is plenty of upcoming opportunities! I think LPS7 will have lots of great images due to the possibilities within the theme. I can't wait to see the various interpretations from each of you.

Once again my sincere congratulations to the winners, beautiful work!

Stormdancing · Jun-12-2007, 07:40 AM

Great shots everyone who entered. This must have been a tough judging job. Hard to pick my favorite top 20, but less single out 10 from the great entries here. Congrats to the finalist!
