****Dec Photo Contest Restart**** I made a major screwup, left one image out of the voting.

So I am restarting the voting. My apologies to all for this mistake. I had duplicated one, fixed it but replaced it with the wrong entry.
Here is the revised contest finals.

Voting will go until the 20th.

Voting will go from Dec 17 through Dec 19. Winners will be posted on the 20th.

******Note the late addition. "After the Rain - Through the Blinds" was to to replace a duplicate, but I screwed up.******


Thanks for everyone that took part in our photo contest.

1. "Leaving the Arena"


2. "Sonora Desert Homestead"


3. After the Rain - Through the Blinds

4. "The Louvre from the D'Orsay"


5. "Shall We Go?"

11. The Theme is "Inside Out".

The instructions to the photographers were:

The theme “Inside out" means photos taken inside a structure, a house, car, tunnel, cabin, or any other structure. There's one rule : To show you were inside looking out, the structure has to be part of the composition

Do you upload image to a photo hosting service like Photobucket or Flickr? If you do, you can copy the image URL, then paste it to DU.

You will have to join the group to post. You will find a very helpful group of people there.

If it remains a tie for the top spot we have a runoff. There is a tie for third, and remains a tie, it will remain a tie.

That cool with you guys?

Online coin flip, perhaps?

But a runoff is fine as well; just more work for you...
