RE-REVISED: Here they Are: September 2011's FREE PHOTO CONTEST Entries: Theme: SHADOWS

Well, folks...this has been an EXPERIENCE!!!

My main computer crashed during the month of September.

Then, the week that I posted these entries, my laptop also crashed.

I THOUGHT I retrieved all of the contest e-mails that came in over the month enough
to continue with this contest without problems.

Boy, was I wrong.


I learned today that I also forgot two MORE entrants.  Thank goodness they let me know.

Thank goodness I am now so paranoid that I didn't send any to my Judges yet.

Thank goodness that I know they will forgive me, because photographers are wonderful.

Thank goodness my readers will also forgive me
because you all are the BEST!!

HUGE apologies to Paz and to Arti (two more entrants I forgot to include).

On the sunny side, that explains why I thought we had "so few entries" before.

It was  because their e-mails containing their entries were LOST.

So, let's start over, cross our fingers, and HOPE that no one else contacts me to say I have also neglected to
put their entry in.

I will close the contest on this coming Friday, officially.
And then send all of them this weekend to the Judges (who have no idea I screwed up this badly, thank goodness!!)
And, let's pray to the Computer GODS that nothing crashes this bad again to cause this ruckus!!

 
I am so sorry to all of you for this inconvenience.

September 2011's theme was:

SHADOWS !!!
