1. All good photos. I voted for

Time to Leave. Because this photographer is in the thick of the action, capturing the action.

[Liberal_Dog]

2. K & R

[mindwalker_i]

3. Why isn't Boehner in there?

I suppose you were looking for photos that were not just orange but sober.

[bluedigger]

7. It would take a much bigger contest prize to get me that close to Boehner!

[Celebration]

4. I'm glad I am the host for this contest

Because I have no idea how I would ever decide which one to vote for.

(Hosts generally don't vote unless there is a tie.)

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. K&R! To the top!

Hard to choose!!

[Beaverhausen]

6. Every one is gorgeous!!!

Congrats to you all.

[femmocrat]

8. K & R

[Solly Mack]

9. K&R

Congratulations to the finalists!!

Great job, Celebration!

Wonderful photos!

10. Kick

[The River]

11. Got To Give It To

the Bird that one doesn't mess with.

Photographing wildlife requires a lot of patience....and luck.
When your subject can flee so quickly you have to be ready.

I wonder if he's pissed at having a band around his left leg?

I would be...

15. k&r

DU photographers kick some serious ass.

[a kennedy]

16. They are all beautiful.....but "all that I have" just moves me to tears.....

but they all could be number ones.

[meti57b]

37. I agree, "all that I have", ... the way it is stated is deeply moving.

The artist created a picture of the shopping cart and contents that is beautiful.

It is as if the owner sees beauty in the little bit that she has.

[Aerows]

34. Beat me to it!

[rDigital]

46. Wish I could vote for it....lol nt

[alfredo]

22. Time to Leave is one of those once in a lifetime situations.

[Celebration]

24. sure, it is a great photo, but

how about Venus transiting the sun? I mean, that happens just a couple of times in a set once in 243 years. You don't really get a lot of photo ops of that.

There are lots of considerations in voting. All of the photos are worthy for different reasons.

That's why everyone has to make up their own minds what it is they are looking for in an orange photo!

Makes watching the voting interesting and fun.

[alfredo]

35. But we knew that was coming.

[JohnnyRingo]

44. I'm reserving my vote.

I'm going to wait until the last minute and see if there's a close race.

I know as host you have the final vote, but I have a history of deciding razor thin elections. I'm from Ohio. ...Hahaha.

[alfredo]

55. I get mine out of the way and move on.

[Celebration]

58. thank goodness

because I don't want to decide!

[JohnnyRingo]

63. All that and I missed it.

Now you know why Ohio is run by a bunch of Republicans. LOL

[Celebration]

64. I noticed that!!!

I was waiting for you to vote and it ended up a tie. So I had to do a long convoluted explanation of my tie break and why I missed the deadline on my tie break voting.

But, somehow, I find it in my heart to forgive you.

[mnhtnbb]

52. Yeah, we got to sit and watch the firefighters leave our burning house. No camera, though...

just me my pj's, hubby in his underwear at 4:30 a.m.

I voted for Venus transiting the sun.

[alfredo]

56. So it was been there done that.

[AtheistCrusader]

25. This should include Mitt Romney from the Univision interview.

[Bucky]

26. Boehner classic. I guess we'll be back to just him after November

[Solly Mack]

27. I haven't voted yet. I can't decide.

All have something about them.

From the majestic to the whimsical to the work/know-how and patience to the artsy to the just plain beautiful to the not something you see everyday.

I'm torn...and I'm seldom this torn.

[Fla Dem]

28. All very spectacular, very hard to pick one. n/t

[countryjake]

29. K&R!

[Blue_Tires]

30. ttt

[Celebration]

31. Kick to break the tie! n/t

[SouthLouisianaWoman]

32. Torn...

...between "Crossing Imogene" and "Poppy" but ultimately went with "Crossing Imogene" because it's beautiful in a haunting way that "Poppy" isn't. But it was close.

"Crossing Imogene" reminds me of the Desktop pics that come automatically loaded with a new computer.

[Mira]

33. Kicking these amazing photos - one more gorgeous than the next.

I simply can't decide ......yet

50. I love early arrival. There's just something special

about it other than it being beautiful. It makes me want to know all about it. And be there. And feel it.

[bunnies]

Also, Im a floraholic. That said: Go poppy!
