Run-off


I'm sorry for the delay in posting the final round. I thought this the fairest way to get the top 10 for the final round.

The thread will only be open until 3 PM east coast time.

Thank you for everything!!!

Solly

1. Good job, Solly.
When in doubt, people's voices count.

3. Yes, I have been entering for the fun of it
but not going for any show-stoppers - because I don't want to win again, at least for this year.

5. Are you saying
you enter something that is mediocre in your own mind in order to just occupy a spot?

I enter because I want to be in the top ten.
Then, in my mind, I win.

6. No, I enter what I think is the best I have
Edited on Thu Mar-24-11 04:13 PM by tabatha
of what I have - and I think they have been pretty good - but I don't go out to take a special photo to try and beat everyone else. I would be happy with 10th place.

7. Oh Good! :)
It sounded like you had the secret of knowing how to win or lose at these contests. That would have taken the fun out of it for me, or I would have wanted to buy a bottle of it.

I have been very impressed with your work from the moment you came on the scene with a last moment first entry, a definite show stopper, and won the contest.

I was very intimidated with that feat. So I was just checking...

8. I felt a little embarrassed at winning the first go.
So, I like to compete but not to win every time.

Thanks for the kind words.

Photography is my relief from stress.

Here is a photo for you. Have a happy spring!

9. Thank you - a glorious bouquet at a time
that is helped by my healing a bit every passing day and by spring time as well.

10. I agree with you, Mira. I won one of the first contests I entered, but
since then, I've not broken the top ten. I came close this time, and that's good enough for me!

I'll just have to keep trying :)

If I remember, at the time you suggested that 2nd place was the "real" winner, and I still think that.

Hats off to all the "winners" and all their hard work putting the contest on.
