The judges have spoken!!!
Once again, it was an almost impossible task
to choose just ONE winner.

Hard to choose just ONE winner, isn't it?

is......
LINDA REEDER....

Special mention also goes to:

That is a fabulous photo...and thanks so much for taking off the rule about a photo that was published on our blogs being ineligible for use. When I get a good photo, I tend to use it immediately.
ReplyDeleteI have recently had the sad experience of some of my photos being used by someone else as their own. It really was upsetting to me so, now, as much as I hate doing it, I'm putting my name on photos. I realize people can still "steal" photos. I usually will share my pictures if someone has the decency to ask but this really blew my mind.
Awesome winning picture! I love, love, LOVE the action of the waves in the background, as well at the bird in flight.
ReplyDeleteThe winners photo was well deserved, what a fantastic idea for a competition.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture, it truly is a winner Great choice.........:-)Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis one is absolutely great. Congratulations to the winner, and to all who entered this time for their great photos. Now that I'm getting time to slow back down a little for me, maybe I can start entering again. I don't know about this next one though because I just don't really have a place where I can do sunrises or sunsets. I've been moaning about that for three years now. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Linda..fantastic photo! Good job everyone! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Job, Sister!!!
ReplyDeleteCwetainly captured the essence of ocean atmosphere! Kudos to Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful shot. The waves and the eagle are so perfect. It is a lot of fun to see them all.
