August 2010 FREE Photo Contest Winner for Sunrises/Sunsets!

Hoo, Boy!

I TOLD YOU

this month's

winner

would be impossible

to pick.

It WAS.

The three judges

could not agree

on a winner

per majority.

So, per the contest's process,

I had to go to a fourth

judge,

who then had to pick the

winner from the top three picked by

the previously randomly-picked three judges.

So, all of you that entered photos

can feel

very, very, proud.

As far as I am concerned, I wish I could hand out

winning widgets to each of you

for your entries.

But, in life, that is not the way it works.

I can only hand out

ONE winner widget....

So, without further ado....

(drum roll, please)............

August's Theme

was

SUNRISES or SUNSETS.

To refresh your memory, go to THIS LINK to see all of the entries.

The winner picked,

after much deliberation

and pain....

but certainly

WELL DESERVED

is

THIS beautiful photo:

Congratulations, to SCOTT Pierce!!!!....

He does not have a blog...

Perhaps he should???  A photo-centered blog perhaps? (Hint, hint, Scott!)

A wonderful shot! The judges thought it looked "heaven-like".

The judges had wonderful other "special mentions" also, to the following people:

--Larry J ("the texture on your sunset left me breathless!")

--Connie ("the color was so unique and it looked almost spooky looking")

--Carmen (" a wonderful photo!")

--Linda R. (the sun and the rocks, wow!")

-VaBookworm ("loved the incorporation of the trees in the sunset")

and

J.J. ("loved the color of the blues in J.J.'s sunset")

But, please NOTE...

the judges liked them ALL....they said it was a very tough decision....

So, all of you that entered should be very, very proud...

and

each and every one of you should keep on clicking those shutters...

because you are truly gifted.

Thanks so much for entering August's contest!
