Looks like the LPS formula is working

Congrats to all on some amazing photos. This gallery (I just updated it with these finalists) may be one of the best and most varied on smugmug!

**sherstone** · Aug-20-2007, 09:01 PM

As usual I am intensely surprised and humbled by some of the judges choices,
each and every step in this contest is a great learning tool.

I think this has been (and is), one of the most enjoyable contests I have ever participated in.

Thank you to all of the judges and DoctorIt for making it possible.

Congratulations to all of the entrants and the top 10 finalists~

saurora · Aug-20-2007, 09:10 PM

A huge thank you to the judges. I am so stunned, that for once I am almost (

) speechless! A stunning group of entries - congratulations to Shatch (so very well deserved!!!) and all of the others as well.

seastack · Aug-21-2007, 12:32 AM

Congratulations to the finalists! See you in February.

stuffjunkie · Aug-21-2007, 04:19 AM

The link to "Tethered" in Shay's voting post isn't working (for me at least).... and it's my fav.

I sent a PM to Paul, it looks like the photo was inadvertently removed prematurely.

**Shay Stephens** · Aug-21-2007, 12:16 PM

Paul's entry is all fixed now.

Congratulations everyone!!! Great job

peterst6906 · Aug-23-2007, 05:26 AM

Having just spent the last 2 1/2 days travelling I haven't had an opportunity to post a thank you to the judges (including Travis as well for his display of integrity) and to everyone who has been voting.

Very humbling to be amongst this group of photos.

Regards,

Peter

Ed911 · Aug-23-2007, 07:28 AM

I've been here almost everyday looking for the best shot. After the first couple of shots it was easy to see why the semifinalists were chosen. I have certainly enjoyed viewing everyone's photographic perspective of the world we live in and the people who live here. Great job. Wonderful shots. Kudos to those who participated and especially to those who were selected to continue.

ShepsMom · Aug-23-2007, 05:59 PM

I can only see 1 image...

**sherstone** · Aug-23-2007, 07:47 PM

I can still see shatch and his families gaping mouths.

Congratulations! on making number 1
