A rather small number of photos we have this week, but will it make choosing for which one to vote for any easier?

Please vote for the picture that best represents our theme, which is a scene at a wedding.

With barely 2 days left, the voting is at a stalemate. Everyone's tied! Don't make me be the tie-breaker!

Uh oh! I thought I'd cast a vote and break the tie...seems I just re-tied the contest instead. :rolleyes: I went with hypatia's photo...I like the humor in it, and somehow, it just seems appropriate. :biggrin:
 
All three pictures are great.

I voted for hypatia because the pic brought back a pleasant memory. At my sons wedding his friends presented him with a ball and chain. It was a real one. Where they got it is beyond me.

btw my son sold the ball and chain on ebay for $50.:smile:
 
I voted for Andre's. It seems like the bride and groom are in the process of exchanging rings, and it fits the contest theme well. I liked hypatia's humorous shot just about as well, so it was close.

You mean "which son ?" ? :bugeye:
 
or which ball? left or right?
 
Remind me to stop entering, as either hypatia or larkspur can pretty much kill anyone elses attempts.

Just out of curiosity and since I can't see emotion online. Exactly how are you acting and feeling while you are typing these responses? I'm sort of a jerk, and it has nothing to do with you, so I'm hoping for a little temper tantrum and a quivering bottom lip.

Hey, after probably 3 years of entries (how long have we had these contests?), I finally won one, and it wasn't even the bad photo contest. I have to admit I was nearly crushed when I couldn't even win the bad photo contest, so it's good I finally won something soon after. So don't give up. :biggrin:

Not true! I come in third more often than not. Keeps me trying to take better photos. :smile:
