***July Photography Competition Final is now OPEN for Voting***

Amazing photos have been entered in the July photo contest; theme: I Made
This!
This contest is about being involved in creating the image. The idea isn't to make pictures of interesting things but to make interesting pictures of things. Anything from trimming leaves around a flower to a full fledged studio. Added light, subtracted light, moving stuff, adding an element or post processing. Anything that a photographer can do to be involved in MAKING an image.

Here are the top submissions from each thread. Please vote for your favorite.

Voting will be open for three days and I'll post the final top three.

Thank you to all who submitted a photo and thank you too for voting!

I want to visit that beautiful Saone River Valley, go camping with a teardrop in the Eastern Sierras, and paddle a home-made kayak.

(This seems like a very difficult category to "judge". Seems hard to know what the photographer has done to "make" the photo special without more of an explanation?}
