July Photography Contest Poll 1

This month’s theme is Down by the River.
The photo can be of any subject, as long as the theme is "Down by the River". A river, creek, or stream should be a major component within the composition.

The top three finishers in each Preliminary thread will advance to the Final round with the 10th place going to the highest vote getter from what left in the three combined threads. In the final round the top 3 will be chosen from the ten finalists.

Comments are encouraged; we'd like to know what you think.
