I was torn between the bee, the mama & baby moose, & magical, mystical May. I'm a sucker for critters, so I had to go with mama & baby moose, LOL.

I was kinda drawn to one in particular, so me this month is was a easy choice. Not sure if technically it was necessarily superior to the other pictures, but the subject matter, the angles and the construction of the picture appealed on a personal level.

I've been with these contest since the first one. It has helped me be a better judge of my own work. That doesn't always translate into votes, but that doesn't matter. Taking part is what matters.

I think of you as "our" number one fan.

Great entries, and while I see why "Magical Mystery" is running away with it, the others are incredible as well. "April Showers" is my choice because of the artful edit. I spent some time looking it over, and it's quite intriguing.

My health has been improving, and I hope to participate in the next contest. I was at the local Soap Box Derby this weekend, and I took the Olympus for a late afternoon ride around the lake a couple days ago. There's certainly been no talent void in my absence.

Great contest Mz Pib!!
