A great first round everyone. Give a big hand to all the daring photographers that met the challenge this month.

8. That's not the Unbroken Spirit shot that's causing that.

It's the "Hard Shells" photo. You must be tripping badly to confuse the two! :silly:

33. BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Photo Contest is still going. If you haven't voted yet you need to ask yourself... "why?".

I ask.. "can you live with the guilt of never having voted?". I don't know how you can sleep at night. And having to look other DUers in the face when they respond... "you didn't vote in the Photo Contest thread????"

Maybe you can live with that guilt but I sure the hell could not.

34. Last chance to vote.

The polls will close at 7 pm est.

35. The polls are closed and the

contest is over. Thank you to all that boted and commented.
