Povertybarn · Nov-12-2007, 08:34 PM

A big congratulations to all that made it and to those that didn't make it in the top10. So many good photos to choose from. I'm sure it made it hard on the judges to bring it down to 10.

Dalantech · Nov-12-2007, 09:13 PM

Congrats everyone!

Nikolai · Nov-12-2007, 09:15 PM

Congrats to the finalists!

photogmomma · Nov-12-2007, 09:17 PM

YAY!!! I had SO many second thoughts (read: major doubts) that I'm shocked to be here!

Congratulations to everyone who made it this far and good luck to all!!

(Amazing photos,

)

JFreeman · Nov-12-2007, 09:55 PM

My nails are not long enough - I think I have already chewed threw 90% of them.

pemmett · Nov-12-2007, 10:30 PM

As they say in England "I'm completely gobsmacked" Thank you thank you thank for making my birthday complete :-) The entries were all excellent.

Cheers/peter

thebigsky · Nov-13-2007, 12:34 AM

Congratulations to the finalists, it's always a bit depressing when you don't get a single vote, but considering the quality of the entries this round it takes the edge off of it.

Simply stunning images

It is a little depressing, but at least you know that some of us included you in our favorites.

Congratulations to all of the finalists!!!

drdane · Nov-13-2007, 08:46 AM

While I have some disappointment about not making the top 10, I am very happy to say that I am not majorly bummed as I was after my SF2 entry didn't make it - I really feel OK about it!

I also realized that if my entry had been selected, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience the difference in my response to a similar situation. Just knowing that some growth has occured is worth it.

Thanks to those who sent PM's in appreciation of the image. There is a lot of support that goes on here behind the scenes, and the giving and receiving of it feels very good.

BTW, here is the image I had initially planned to enter, but decided to replace it with Shamanic Dream, though I don't know if it would have fared any better:

Hope to join the party again next time,
Dane

Lovely quality to the light in that image.

PS. You'll definitely be back for SF4. I'd lay money on you making it.
