And the Winner is....

I'm not going to tell you! Nah, I will but first let me tell you which photos I entered. It was so hard to choose, I really appreciated all of your help. However, nobody voted for the same photos, or hardly any of the same photos. So, I went through and tallied up which ones did get voted for more than once. Here's what you guys said:

Number 4 had the most votes.


Then came number 26

Number 15

Number 1

And finally number 19


So that's all good and everything, but I have a confession to make. I'm sorry, but I didn't follow your advice. I shouldn't tell you that cause now you will hate me and think that you wasted your time voting. So I'm sorry, but I had to, just had to enter some other photos. I'd talked to my teacher and he suggested them, and I didn't want to go against one of the judges! So I appreciate everything you guys did, and really enjoyed your answers. And I did use some of your photos.

Anyway, here is what I ended up entering and their places.

There were about 50 photos total and all of mine made it into the finals, so that in itself was wonderful.

Okay, coming in number 8th was.....my bridge! (Which you all voted for, so congrats!)

In seventh place.....my beach grass! (You guys voted for this one too...you're so smart!)

Number 5 was....my flower!


Number 4......my dew drop. You guys haven't seen this because I just got it the other day.

I'm not sure if you guys can really see it, but if you look closely, you can see that the water drop is reflecting or magnifying the grass behind it. It's perfectly in focus.

And finally.....in first place AND GRAND CHAMPION OF BOTH CONTESTS is......my sunset! Only one person in this blogs contest voted for this picture. So Cory, you have a wonderful eye for pictures because IT WON!!! TWICE!!



I'm so excited! YAY! I won! Thank you Veronica and Michelle for being such good models. Mr. Rich pointed out that if you guys hadn't been in there, the photo wouldn't have won, so thanks for being there!

My prize for first place was a certificate from Crown Camera, a very nice photo shop, to have any picture I want blown up into a poster! And my prize for GRAND CHAMPION is a certificate from Crown Camera to have 12 of my favorite pictures made into a calendar!

So that was my morning. Thanks again for all of your input!

Hey! Congratulations sister mine! Sorry I didn't vote on the photos, I just couldn't decide! Personally, I don't know how you were able to narrow it down to just five photos, I never would've been able to! Congrats Vanessa!
