POLL ~ Summer Photo Contest ~ Finals

Presenting the top 10 vote-getters for the Summer Contest.

There was a tie for 10th position (I hate it when that happens), so I used my super secret tie-breaking method. OK, not so secret. I let my wife pick. The tie was between "Summer Seascape" and "At the Edge of the Field". And the winner of the 10th place slot is...

At the Edge of the Field.

So let's get to the rest of the field of ten, shall we? Somewhat randomly, of course.

NOTE: Skinner has authorized this contest be run in GD.

1. A Red-Breasted Nuthatch



2. Aqua Dahlia



3. Summer Faery



4. At the edge of the field



5. Salt Air



6. Summer Sunrise



7. Passing storm



8. I can swim under water now



9. Fool Me Twice...



10. Ready for the weekend



And the one that didn't quite make it. It's not included in the poll.

11. Summer Seascape

there was a clear favorite for me. It came down to two and I'm still not sure I picked my favorite.

but 'I can swim underwater' was just adorable & so vivid.

All of the photos are beautifully done; it was difficult to vote for just one.

This is closer than I thought it would be, but I agree that all the images are stunning. I just thought one of them would run away with it.
