Aren't all of these WONDERFUL????
I loved each and every one, I really did....for different reasons.
I am SO GLAD I am not one of the judges this time, because it would be so hard to pick just ONE winner!
So now, I am on the hunt for three random judges over the next three weeks.
I will announce the winner around March 15th, so stay tuned!!!!
Thanks to every person who entered this contest, you took wonderful photos.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
March's photo contest's theme IS:
(What else, it is the St. Patrick's holiday month, right?....)
"Anything GREEN or Anything Irish"
You all can interpret that anyway you want....................
So please enter a photo by midnight EST on March 31, 2010 that fits this theme from your archives or a new one (if you can find anything green THIS time of year!)......
I'll be waiting....................
I so wanted to send in an entry but I totally forgot that February just have 28 days and, me being me, I kept postponing it until I realised it was March 1st. I am too silly :( Hope to make it this month.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all of these photos... I don't envy the judges, because they are going to have a tough choice to make!!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say! They are all some of the most brilliant photos that I have seen!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I agree It is hard to pick a favorite!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! There are some very excellent shots there!!! Glad I'm not a judge either!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great, and I would be hard pressed to pick one myself. I love the giraffe, the wet dog nose, the... oh, I love them all too!
ReplyDeleteLoree: Shame on you! ha Make sure you get busy then on March's contest and send me a photo of "Something Green or Something Irish" right away...don't wait until March 31st, silly!!
ReplyDeleteLynn: I sure agree!
Otin: I love hosting this contest and seeing all the photos as they roll in...its been great fun! You and Brian are going to have to have a writing contest on your blog(s)!
Jientje: Yes it will be, yours included!!
Cathy: Yes, I am even having a hard time picking my three judges! I want to pick judges this time that don't own any pets so that they won't be swayed. ha
DJan: I know what you mean...as each one came in, I was oooo-ing and awww-ing. You have to enter this month...I am sure with all that moss out there, you will find "something green"!! ha
Fantastic entries! How I love photography!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all such awesome photos!!! They are so very different from each other even though they follow the same theme. The judges have their work cut out for them! I say give them all a gold star!!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteSome are very good --and some are very ordinary... I guess I'm prejudiced --but I still like Squirrel Queen (Judy). She ALWAYS takes creative pictures..
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to the judges.
Hugs,
Betsy
some great pics...the one of that amazing colorful bird, took the cake for me...and the grasshopper...and...lol.
ReplyDeleteThe giraffe wins hands down for me. Such a good picture. I want to have him for tea. (Obviously, as a guest, not as a dish.)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Your link to the rules didn't work for me. How do we upload to your website? or do we post on our own and you take it? Please explain. Sorry I missed all the instructions first time around.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Star
Amazing shots! I wouldn't want to have to pick a winner, either.
ReplyDeleteInsanity: ME too! I love seeing what people enter. I am already looking forward to March's entries!
ReplyDeleteTechnoBabe: Yes, they sure DO all deserve a gold star...you need to enter this next contest,too! C'mon...you can do it!
Ashley: Isn't it fun to see what people enter? I can't wait every month to see what comes in!
Betsy: Yes, her's was wonderful, and so many of the others were, too...I love seeing how folks interpret the theme and what they send in for an entry. I hope you enter March's contest!
Brian: I was the SAME way as they came in...I loved ONE and then another would come in and I would love THAT one...etc.etc. Pretty hard to judge this time!
Fran: I am glad you cleared that one up..I was hoping you weren't talking about EATING him for lunch. ha He was adorable, wasn't he?
Star: Thanks so much for telling me the link wasn't working..it is now fixed so go back and click on it and you should get right to the rules...what you do is send me your photo via my personal email (which is listed in the rules). If you have any trouble, let me know....I hope you enter in March, that would be GREAT!
Eva: Ok then, I won't ask you to judge this time around. ha
I'm (kinda) glad I wasn't able to join the contest because I wouldn't have had a chance of winning! lol!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!!
You are so right! It will be a tough decision. They are all so good!
ReplyDeleteWow, all of these pictures are so AWESOME! I twas neat to see how each pic had something special!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteLorac: You are right...it's going to be tough.
Sara: That is why I love the contests so much. Every one that comes in has me going "wow".
Bernie: I am still waiting for your entry, my friend...think about doing the "Something Green or Something Irish" one! I'd love to see what you would submit.
There are some very excellent pictures here this time. Good luck to the judges, because there's no way I could choose a winner.
ReplyDeleteThose pics are Terrific!!! I loved them all. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing everyone's photos, we all have our own interpretations of a theme.
ReplyDeleteThe one from Ann with the cows crossing the road and a trooper looking on just cracked me up, that is funny. Is he thinking about giving them a ticket for jaywalking?
Ratty: Me neither!!!
ReplyDeleteGrannyann: yes, they were. I was so excited as they came rolling in. It is always fun.
SquirrelQueen: I do too, including yours. Yes, Ann's photo made me smile too. I wonder if the policeman was yelling; "Get a moooooooo-ve on!" ha
Congrats to all the photographers! Each photo is very special.
ReplyDeleteJoanna: They sure were! Loved them all. When are you going to submit a photo to my contest????
