*** OCTOBER PHOTO CONTEST Winner Selected ***

[CurtEastPoint]

The theme was 'when I look at this photo (which I took!) it makes me happy'.
Apparently, sundown makes many people happy.

The winner for this contest is ... a la izquierda who entered this shot:

Zuid-Holland at Sundown


First runner up is also sundown/night oriented, entered by ... urbanhermit

Summer nights in the mountains


And, adorably, the second runner up, is totally not sunset but...

Wonder Woman-ette entered by rocktivity


Thanks to EVERYONE who entered photos and to all who voted.

We look forward to seeing what the next monthly contest, hosted by a la izquierda, will bring!

My pleasure to have served as your humble host.

While I am very much a veteran of "serious" photography, I'm a rookie at digital photography. That's why I joined the DU Photography Group recently -- and that's why this has taken me so totally by surprise.

I saw the girl getting her face painted while on my way to photograph a band, and absolutely wanted to take her picture. But by the time I was ready to, she had left the painting booth. I literally hunted her down -- that's why the picture made me happy! Well, it paid off in more ways than one, LOL! Thanks, all!
