Bob - this was a hard hard thing....my hat's off to you for last month!!!

If you don't agree with my decisions... go shoot something spectacular..and have a turn at the judging...It's hard!!!!:D :eek:

All those photos are well deserving Gretchen.

I agree, not sure I could pick one winner myself. Great Job!

No kidding... lots of fun shots this month...Good judging... I go through em and write some down, then I go through the ones I wrote, weed out a few, and on, and on until I have 3....

Well Christine... LUCKY YOU:D...PM me your address and I'll send out your hat...enjoy judging the architecture next month...:p and start thinking of a good theme everyone can shoot.

(Isn't that 2 contests in 2 weeks for you? "Long eared Sunfish";))

Whoa, cool!

Thanks! There are some great photos here.

So I get to judge this month's pictures eh? I'm sure I'll be a decent, impartial judge. I won't at all be influenced by any bribes. (I take payments in cash, fish arrows and/or hunting access) heh heh...

What?!!! no paypal?????

Congratulations Christine! that is a really cool shot! now tell us about it, were you in the water? I get nervous with my camera around water,what kind of camera are you using? the angle was very creative, definitely giving me some good ideas.

Great job everybody, Congrats!

Huntrz, I killed one camera already by getting it wet. Have dropped others into the drink.

So... seeing as how I spend so much time on the water, I bought an Olympus 770 SW. It's not going to take real high quality photos but does good for computer stuff and it's waterproof. I read one review where they took it down to 70 feet but the pressure caused the buttons to be hinky at that depth. (it's rated to 33 ft) I put some little floats on the camera strap so hopefully if I drop it in, I won't have to go diving for it.

I was in a canoe pestering Carpsniper when I took that photo.

oh, and I have my paypal all set up now. ;)
