Three votes - I got! And none of them was my own :)

There is a website I stumbled across about a half a year ago
http://news.uglyhedgehog.com/b-59618-d-546

I did not often visit there it looked too daunting and I think I'm a too amateurish to hang with these folks
They have a contest a week, I realized, and I entered a first photo last week. No votes for me.

This week I went with the first one my eyes hit on (contest: Rule of Thirds) and got THREE votes. I'm proud of that. 210 entries, and I think the winner had 19 or so votes

I'm not that proud of my photo - but to my DU photo friends I say:
The contests they run are pretty amazing to me. Blind - no name entries - dead blind voting with not even the vote count announced as the voting goes on.
Submission time is a few days, and then voting takes place on Thursday and Friday.

The themes, and the interpretations shown in the submissions are worthy of some study.

At least it was even.
Congratulations, I understand how proud you are.

Nice pic too, I like the perspective from under the road, it adds depth.

Hi Mira

First contest-no votes, second contest-three votes, third contest......winner!

Third time's a charm

I went and had a look around. It's interesting to see what other folks are up to.
