This one was tough, folks....
Every submission
deserves
a thanks for such talent!
We had to use a fourth judge this time
because it was so close.
And what is funny
is that the person who won
almost gave up.....
(s)he commented
that (s)he hadn't even gotten
"special mention" yet despite entering several times...
and that maybe (s)he should stop entering the contests!
Just goes to show you all...
never give up!!
Keep entering...as you never know what might fancy
certain judges' eyes....!
And I pick different judges
for every contest.
Some do photography, some do not!
Anyway, I have kept you waiting long enough.......
(drum roll, please..........)
May's WINNER for the photo contest with the theme of:
LANDSCAPES
is..........
DJAN!!!!
What a great job she did!!
I loved the colors and mountains in this one!
Here is her lovely photo:
The judges remarked:
"The colors in this landscape were wonderful"
"I like the depth of the landscape"
************************************************
I couldn't agree more!
(DJan, your Winning widget to display on your blog forever
will be on it's way to you soon......)
The judging was difficult for them...here are "Special Mentions" for the contender of first place:
--J.J.
--Mistaya
--RNSane
--SquirrelQueen
--Larry
and
Grannyann for her uniqueness on the theme.
Every single judge said it was nearly impossible to pick first place OR narrow down the Special Mentions due to them being so good!
If you forgot what they looked like, go to THIS LINK.
Thanks to everyone of you that entered....you all did a wonderful job!
Now, don't forget to send me your JUNE entry

ReplyDeleteI am so far behind, my internet connection has been spotty all week plus blogger has been so slow in taking comments. Maybe both are fixed!!!
SquirrelQueen: Yes, her photo is wonderful. I know about how you feel about Blogger..it is still not letting me load pictures directly--I have to load them to another URL and then load them from there.
