good job folks. Thanks Longgrain!

It was a lot of hard work for me but it was also a lot of fun.

Maybe We'll see one of your entries in a future contest.


:hi:

Yeah Dad!

I am proud to say GOPFighter is my dad. :) I've been meaning to sign up, but of course I did it too late to vote!

Actually, I was impressed with all the pictures! Great job everyone (but especially dad!!!)

:hi:

No way! :toast:

And let me be the first to Welcome you to DU, arismomkoofie. :hi:

On edit: Second now that I look back.

Thanks nothingshocksmeanymore and Longgrain! I've lurked a few times, but hope to post now too.

PS - that picture is the background on my computer!

:) :) :) :) :) :)

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GREAT PICTURES EVERYONE!

Welcome. Got snow?

You joined so you could hang out in the Pet's Group I'll bet!

Great photo!

Your dad does great work! :D :hi:

You can also find our original discussion over in the Photography Group...

Nice photos - and great idea, I'll try to check out/watch the photo forum for the next one - maybe even enter something. (translates to finally figuring out how to post photos on DU - heh heh)

and thanks to all the entrants-excellent work.
Also, thank you Longgrain for organizing this display.

This contest helped me relax a bit, and get me back to my old self again...:hi:

:toast:

Your entry want too shabby either...

I hope to see more in the future.:thumbsup:

Excellent work. So much wonderful talent.

Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely picture of Ella you have in your tag line! :hi:

For 94114_San_Francisco and GOPfighter...

As well as everyone else in the DU Photo contest! :toast:

:D

Now where's Kleeb's big joke, or has he not posted it yet...:shrug:

(sorry, I've been away from the computer for over an hour...I need to catch up)

I don't know what this big joke thing is though....:shrug:

But thanks for the Kick anyways!

:)

Sorry I really don't have photoshop, just a crappy msPaint program.

I really know nothing about computers.

Longgrain, this is one of the most original ways to build community here at DU that I've ever seen. Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf! :toast:

GOPFighter's photo has no bigger fan than me; I've been gushing over it down in the photography forum for days! :thumbsup: :)

And I won't lie to you, it's always great to receive a compliment here at DU, thanks everyone! :hi:

edit: apostrophe

And congratulations, yerself for being the co-winner. :toast:

But don't thank me, thank the Admins for setting up the Groups in the first place.

DU can be so huge and daunting at times. There are so many people I would have never meet if it weren't for the Groups.

:hi:

On a serious note, the photos were really nice. Thank you for sharing.

But these were very good pics! Good job guys and gals!

Now if only the DU Artist Group could be this well renowned! :D

SO SAYETH SKITTLES!!!!!!!!!!! :D

In fact, it got the very first vote. :-)

:D :hi:

That's all I'm saying


:hi:

I'll take my votes any way I can get them--including cashing in on free birthday votes! :hi:

Personally, I voted for GOPfighter's picture. But that's probably because I have reached image saturation with that "somewhere" shot because it's on my desktop.

That--and my natural modesty prohibited me from voiting for myself! LOL! O8)

:toast:

Let's see ... if we make some assumptions about how others voted ... :evilgrin:

What beautiful photos! I enjoyed them all!:yourock:

Thanks, so much. They all were such a pleasure to see.:D

Thanks for holding the contest. There is unbelievable talent at DU.

Those were some cool pics!
