(22,057 posts)all of you for exceptional work. I have yet to choose a "best" because I'm torn so many ways.

(46,436 posts)I started with my 30th entry, then put 30, 27, 24, etc. in poll 1; 29, 26, 23, etc. in poll 2; and 28, 25, 22, etc. in poll 3. I was trying to be as random as I could be without losing my mind.

(46,436 posts)I have palm trees. Not from Alaska, of course, but some real beauties from Costa Rica.

(22,057 posts)But this one really excelled in my opinion. My partner and I look forward to this every month-DU has an exceptional group of photographers that seem to "get" and express each subject with remarkable clarity. I am regularly awed.

These pictures are all very good.

(46,436 posts)We usually try to post in the Lounge and GD, too, to advise when the submissions thread opens. Sometimes we have the participants send their photos (via a photobucket link or something similar) by PM to the host so that the photographers can remain anonymous ... which is what I did this time ... or sometimes we just post them directly into the submission thread, host's choice.
If you go to the Photo Group and look back a few weeks, you can see the process. We'd love to have you join in next time around.
