I hate the photo contest in GD. It sucks!

20. There are some amazing photos.

When I first read the "this month = line" I really thought it was going to be easy, but honestly, this month was one of the HARDEST to vote in.

I literally kept changing my mind on a couple of them -- in the first set alone, I was having the *most* problem choosing between "Golden Hour" and "Genesis" -- HOW did they get those shots? Then "How NOT to Step Out of Line" popped up, and don't even get me started on "Morels" --

I think the fascinating bit was that in both "Golden Hour" and "How NOT to Step Out" it was all about man-made objects interacting with sunlight and shadow, all creating some amazing "lines", while "Genesis" and "Morels" were all about the lines in nature that were being visually displayed by the artwork of the photo -- you don't *see* the lines, until the photographer draws your attention to them.

NOTE: I have opinions about all of them -- "Finish Line" and "Mooring Lines" were totally different takes, and made me smile, while the "Library" made me remember "waiting in line" in addition to seeing the lines; and I couldn't figure out if the "Porch Lines" were upside down or not -- ARGH!!! You can see how this one really made me think, hence my frustrated post! Lol!
