Why does the picture by jvillereptile direct me to my picture? And it is one that I didn't submit. Did anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for pointing that out. I had used the wrong image-id when setting up the link.

Having a hard time deciding on who to vote for?

congratulations to the winners
medals have been awarded

I was one of the judges this month and I just want to say I am not surprised there was a tie for third place as I found this contest VERY difficult to judge. There were several photos that I would have been happy to see win. As I told Brad, I had to view the slide show loads of times to come to a decision and I kept changing my mind! Well done all!

thank you for voting my pic...I'm really happy
