1. I entered on a whim, really...

I had another pic I liked better, but it didn't really fit the requirements...

There are some really awesome entries...

We have a very talented bunch here!

2. Well, I did it.

5. Thanks, was an extremely cold sunrise in Paris last year...

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. Wonderful entries so far

Especially like JeffR's Askew, and ET Awful's Reflections.

Hey, JeffR...maybe we CAN have Confusion next time...still sounds like a fun category ;)

[ET Awful]

9. I've been told I can't enter "Reflections" because apparently, there's a rule

I didn't know about that you can't enter a photo in two different contests.

So I guess it'll be the Snow Leopards.

I kind of wish that there was a complete set of rules posted along with the contest to avoid such things.

13. Keepin' my fingers crossed

I have about a zillion photos that scream "CONFUSION!!!"

6. MissHoneyChurch

Very cool, love it!

7. I'll be glad when we get this up in GD

Maybe it'll get their minds off of trashing each other's candidates for a couple of minutes.

10. I'm calling a winner right now,

"Shadows on Steps" Excellent shot Priller.

[JeffR]

12. Definitely my favorite so far

I hope the voters pay more attention than usual to a black & white.

[priller]

16. Oh thanks!

Those are steps at the Austin City Hall, in case anyone is wondering.

11. nice bunch as always...I spent the last 2 weeks in the hospital at my .....

twin grandson's bedside....they had pneumonia, but, are well and both home with momma now. I am exhaustedfrom sleeping on a chair cribside and needed a feww days to recoup, -*so i haven't had time to take or locate any diagonal photos, so I just ran outside this afternoon and snapped one I submitted.

The babies were bored so i played with them by snapping pics and showing them to them while confined in their cages here is one diagonal view from the window









gesh we lived so far from the hosiptal and they were so sick we didn't leave even to shower....wore the same close too. when your babies are sick NOTHING else matters eh?

[jhain]

14. whheeeew, you must be EXHAUSTED

Hope everyone is resting tonight.
I am so glad they are ok! And, so glad that you DID stay with those babies- imagine leaving them??!!


You are a real photographer to keep clicking under the circumstances- and get good shots, too!

15. priller, soup & MissHoneychurch, in that order

However - apologies in advance - I unsuccessfully predicted that:

- the votes in Ohio would be properly counted in 2004

- the votes in Florida would be properly counted in 2000

- marijuana would be legal by the (last) turn of the century

- Jack Morris would be in the Hall of Fame on his first try

So I don't know much. But I think these 3 photos are brilliant. And just behind them is a host of other great pix. I hated this theme, but it's been cool to see what people have come up with. Maybe it's not a bad little theme after all. Maybe it just needed a little love...

17. That might be difficult...

...because, owing to "the luck of the draw," all three of those are in the same preliminary! :wow:
