Congratulations to Agschmid, Earth_First, and NV Whino for their superb photos, and to all of the finalists and contestants for their's as well. We have some very talented photographers here at DU that not only share their work, but also their knowledge and expertise.

Thanks to you ohheckyeah for an excellent job hosting the July contest!

The back story on "Dog Is My Copilot" is that my daughter had just received her driver license and we went to Sacramento for a soccer tournament. On the way back she asked if she could drive and I figured it'd be a good opportunity for her to get some freeway time. It also gave me a chance to take some shots along the way and as we were passing this red car near Stockton I noticed "Dog". I took several shots out of the window, and Dog's companion was beaming as I did, obviously pleased that her friend caught my eye. I'm glad that the shot caught some of my fellow DUer's eyes too!

Congrats to Bluebassman and frankly to all the entrants. Photos were excellent as usual and it was interesting to see everyone's interpretation of the subject.

And thanks ohheckyeah for the Host Award, it truly is an honor.
