Here they Are! April 2011's FREE PHOTO CONTEST: Theme: Reflections

Once again I am overwhelmed with the creativity and beauty
of the 23 photos that were submitted for this month's 
FREE PHOTO CONTEST.


This month's theme was:
REFLECTIONS

I love that some took the theme literally and that some took the theme to mean
to reflect on something else....

Once again, if I accidentally forgot someone's entry, please notify me IMMEDIATELY.
I will not contact my judges for a few days in case I need to revise the post to include
someone I may have forgotten.

That being said, let's look at the marvelous entries for this month, shall we?:

    Boy, I'm glad I'm not the one who has to choose the winner. What a great bunch of photos.

    I'm planning to get in on this fun, free competition some time soon.

    Maybe I'll jump into the "starts with an A" contest.

    You may have forgot someone's picture, but I forgot to keep up. I just checked last night for the first time to see who won the red contest and then realized that I missed the next one's entry date altogether. You have some wonderful entries here.

    Beautiful! I love anything to do with water and I was sure this month's theme would provide several breathtaking uses of my favourite liquid! :D

    The judges will once again have a hard time choosing! Glad I'm not in their shoes!!! :p

    Seeing my picture there reminds me I still haven't written the related post on the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum (where the only way to photograph the Parthenon marbles is by using the reflection in the windows since they frustratingly don't let you take any photos! Why are there places that insist in thwarting photographers???).

    I din't get a pic entered this time because, as a multiple winner, I made a new rule for myself - I have to use only new photos and not use my archive. This month it just didn't happen, too much going on. But I was very curious to see what others would come up with. It's quite an interesting variety.
