As GeorginaS said in the thread, this is going to a challenge to selected just one picture for this contest. Everyone one of them is gorgeous. Still, you will have to select one that best represents our theme, which is on water as the main subject.

Good luck to all!

Wow, what a tough choice! I had to go with matthyaouw, though...that's just a spectacular shot.
 
Wow! Great job everyone, my vote goes to Andre!

Thanks for the vote, who ever it was! :smile:
 
Andre's one was good, I voted for his. Shramana's one would have been better if not for that guy sitting behind on that bench:cool:, imo.
 
Shramana's Photo is really nice and captures a sense of calmness but I agree with what you said about th eman on the bench. :smile:
 
Gack! I can't decide. I'll have to come back.
 
You have less than 2 days left to vote in this contest. So if you can't decide, better decide soon! It is a very close contest so far!

I had to go with Andre on this one.
 
With one more day left, the contest is even tighter than before! Only 2 votes separates the top 4 pictures. This is like the Democratic primaries. Every vote counts!

:)

Voted for Andre.

Larkspurs was a ridiculously close second though. With Zapper Z an equally close 3rd. Nice composition that.

Yeah I know the lighting sucked in mine, but hey its the southwest in early spring. I like the way the water flows though, so that's why I entered it.
