Choose up to your Top 10, you have multiple votes! You may vote for one or more up to 10.
The gallery is here for commenting.

You have the ability to choose up to 10 of your top choices by selecting them from the poll.
The poll will remain open for 72 hours, and any previously registered member of DGrin may vote.

Warning: you will not be able to come back and add more choices after you click the voting button.

There were 3 disqualifications this round :cry
MammaPaparazza - Au Natural = No EXIF date taken nor a link to one.
MikeK - Stray Arrow & dc.roake - Vintage View = I suspect this will be an unpoplar decision but both of these entries tread too close to the following rule; #9 Borders/Frames: No borders or framing. All frames and borders whether they are natural (done in camera) or artificial (added in post) will disqualify an entry unless the round allows the inclusion of one.
There were a couple others that were close but squeaked by.
I am very sorry, please try entering again in the current round here


P.S. If your observant you will see that more than 10 can be chosen. Just remember if you vote for all of them its like you didn't vote :wink *Also you are able to see any photo in its large form by clicking on it.

    Congrats and kudos to all who entered. I really enjoyed the photos and had a hard time choosing! clap.gif

    Thank you so much everyone!! It's hard for me to take credit for a photo like this. The gentleman in the photo is doing all the work! But I will say this makes me feel really good. Especially after getting 0 votes in the last round :D
    Thanks for everyone who commented and helped with this. The crop debate really forced me to think about every single aspect of this shot. I learned allot because of it. You guys are all awesome!

    What an awesome run-away win - congrats Jeromy! & congrats to the rest if the top 5! Thanks to all who voted for &/or commented on my shot. It might look like an easy shot, but when everything is constantly moving, auto focus doesn't work (partly due to macro tube) & the clowns pop out of the anemone at different places, it was the only one of hundreds of shots that was focussed enough for me.

    FYI - Just wanted to let the regular posters know that I haven't been avoiding posting comments but simply haven't had time (or proper brain function!). I had knee replacement surgery (2 weeks out this Monday), my niece had a destination wedding in Florida & my daughter got her own apartment & moved out (not a bad thing - a normal part of growing up & out). I plan to be more involved in this next round, but seriously, if my comment doesn't make sense, I apologize now, as I am down to 4-5 pain pills per day (plus anti-inflammatories & tylenol) & feel reasonably level-headed, but that doesn't mean my eyes, brain & fingers will function together (been fooled by drugs before!).
