Actually, I probably won't enter any of my photos. I like to keep them all copyright to me. Since the photo contest enables the forums to reproduce and reuse at their will. Hope you all understand my point of view.

As for the website... Haha probably not. Its still incomplete! but I'll try to finish it up tonight.
 
*GASP* What are you trying to say??? Are you trying to say your pics are too good for us??? LOL. Hey, more of chance for the rest of us.

And back to the website.....So what your trying to say is.....if anyone is looking for a website person......your not the guy to call?? haha. At any rate, I'm looking forward to checking it out, and good luck with it all.
 
Of course my photos wouldn't stand a chance. lol. As far as i'm concerned.....the only good pics I take, are because I got lucky and the animal stood in the right spot, at the right time, and smiled pretty.

LOL. Whatever works! And hey, $50 is $50... And $50 US is $57 CDN to me. :) Not that I could get much shipped to me accross the border.

Gregory...he looks just like "Predator" from all the movies!:eek: You must have a super fast lens on your camera. Great pic!

Haha, thanks Chamo. That pic was taken on one of his better days, lol.

I can't remember reading this... but are you allowed to vote when you have your own picture in the contest? I never bothered - just didn't seem ethical.
 
Yes, you can vote for your own photo. This is something I may change in the future. It will require more integration between the gallery and the forums, something I have had on my to-do list for some time.

The end of the month snuck up on me and I did not give the judges enough time to do their thing. I expect the results of the contest to be posted late this evening or tomorrow.

I did, too! It was a great picture!

Thanks for the votes on my little pygmy girl everyone, I was shocked to see that it took 2nd!
 
Wow...I can't believe I even placed! Like always, very steep competition, the pics were outstanding, especially the "professional quality" pics, LOL. Thanks so much everyone, I'm glad you actually liked the pic.

I'm so happy I get a little metal under my name. :D

Again, congrats everyone!
