4. Congrats, bvar22!

That really was the coolest photo, and best for the theme. Multiple portals--perfect!

I can't believe my photo came in second. I almost didn't even enter it in my "help me pick" poll, I dont' think it's my best portal at all. But... whatever. :shrug:

bvr22 still kicked everyone's ass! :kick: :applause: :toast:

6. Congrats bvar

Great pic that fit the theme perfectly. Also a thank you for showing what it was. Very good eye to catch that pic.

Great contest Immad and I see the next host can come to you for ribbons.

[Immad2]

8. Thanks CC. The ribbons are something I kicked out of Paint Shop Pro

and anyone who wants to use them is welcome.:toast: :hi:

9. Wowza!!

bvar22 kicked everyone right out the .... err.... portal.:) Well deserved. Excellent Photo.
:applause:

Now we have fresh meat.
:evilgrin:

What's the theme? Where's the damn theme poll? Is there going to be a poll? If not, why? How long do we have to come up with a pixie after you get the damn theme up? We're having a damn party here with cake, ice cream, and everytin' so where the hell are you?

10. Congrats!

Excellent shot. And those smoke stacks (or whatever they are) are a great subject for photographs.

[bvar22]

11. Thanks Everybody.

I love our contests. They are a source of fascination, education, and motivation.
I never considered the consequence of having to organize one of these things.

Thanks to Immad2.
Good job.

14. Congrats bvar22

:woohoo:

Your picture was fantastic!!!

[ConsAreLiars]

15. Congrats! Great photos all but bvar22 figured out that with a "Portals"

theme, more portals means more votes. No one, not two, but many portals. And putting them together in an intrqueing composition didn't hurt, either.
