*** DECEMBER PHOTO CONTEST - Poll #2 ***

The topic this month is "flotation," anything that floats, either in the air or in the water. I'm going to hold this contest open until the 26th, since I know everyone is busy with the holiday, and then we'll do the final quickly so we're done by the end of the year. The top 5 contestants in each poll will go to the final. Don't forget to vote in poll #1 here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027463200

4. The Escape


5. Reflections from Art Gallery in Next Building


6. A dog's life

They did a good job of rebuilding Motif #1 in Rockport, Mass, so that's what I voted for. The buoys are just a nice added touch.

but it's so beautiful, I'm going to include it here in the comments. If you want to include it in this poll, post some replies and I'll include it in the totals. Honor system - don't vote twice.

I've seen the bay in San Diego as is in this photo.
I know it don't mean shit but I just had to add that little bit of bit'ness

My bet is that not many here has seen the San Diego Bay when it was like a plate of glass

I just would like to crop out everything from to the left of the flag and then straighten out that building.

To me, it would center the focus more on the ghostly image.

Again, my apologies.
