5. Thanks for the contest process!!!

I just had a feeling about the winners....even the 1st, 2nd, 3rd placings. This NEVER happens. So while I'm on a roll, I'm off to get a couple of lottery tickets.

10. Sending a BIG congrats

to all the winners, and to everyone who entered.

We all rose to the theme challenge, encouraged each other, and gave each other advice. This is a great group and I'm proud to be a participant.

And a BIG thank you goes to regnaD kciN for running such a smooth contest. Additionally, thank you for the the host's award. I was exceedingly surprised and humbled.

11. Wow! I totally forgot all about this the past couple of days.

Stresses of work take the mind where it would rather not go sometimes. LOL

Congrats to all the winners, and everyone who entered. Mira's right, it was a tough theme but everyone stepped up and came through.

:fistbump: :applause:

12. Deciding on the vote in the finals was a tough one.

Well deserved congrats to all who placed in the finals, and to the winners.
Nicely done.

13. Congrats to all!

And thanks to the host, who ran a very challenging and fun contest!

14. This was a very tough

contest to vote in. Congrats to all. I will say that Mz Pip's fountain with the silhouettes came to my mind before she entered it. It was such a perfect fit for the theme and a wonderful photo on its own but then she comes up with such a fitting title. Then rest of you just had to go entering such a varied array of beautiful and evocative photos it took me quite a few looks before I could vote in the preliminaries and finals. The group is getting full of scary good photographers. We will have to go out of our way to reassure any new people that come by that everyone and every skill level is appreciated and enjoyed.

15. Wow! That's an impressive Winners' Circle.

Tough theme, wonderfully challenging contest. Though I sort of feel like I blinked and missed it.

16. Thanks to everyone!

:hi:

I've been offline for a couple of days and just logged in. I am thrilled to win! (Except for the hosting the next contest part.) So I guess I'll post a thread for suggestions and see what floats to the top.
