[MelBridgeman]

Thank you for the votes.
Theme - Sunset/Sunrise Photos

---------------
Rules:
All photos must be no larger than 800x600 (or something close)
Please post only 1 photo per post (make a new post for new pics)
Post as many photos as you like, just keep it on topic
Vote by clicking the "Thanks" button at the bottom of the post
You may vote for 3 finalists.
Once the challenge leader (winner from previous challenge) chooses when to end the voting, he/she will change the thread title to explain when voting ends.
Once voting for the finalists is over, the challenge leader will tally up the votes and post (in 3 separate posts) the finalists.
Challenge leader again changes thread title to say when voting ends
Then, everyone comes back and votes on those 3 finalists.
You are only allowed 1 vote in the finals, so choose wisely
Winner of the challenge will start a new challenge thread and copy/paste these rules in the original post for consistency.
Don't be too specific with the theme nor too general. Try and get a theme that people can contribute to. Don't pick the red african ant of Kenya as a theme... nobody will post. Likewise, don't make the theme "stuff on earth"
Have fun.

What the hell.. I'm using Picasa to publish them to the web.

I give up.

[FurnaceFace]

Oh FFS, now the links I had working, don't. Bizarro. Moral of the story is, use something other than Picasa.

Are we done with the first round yet?

Time to move on to the final 3?Mel needs to set a deadline for first round voting before that happens. I know I don't like to vote too early in case someone posts a great photo late.

[FurnaceFace]

Ditto, just seemed like submissions were slowing down and this one had run it's course.

I'm heading on vacation as of Saturday so I've voted already. Great pics as usual everyone.

This thread really must be about due for a vote. It's coming up on 3 weeks and we haven't got a deadline yet.

[JohnnyB]

To prevent this thread and subsequent competitions from dying, I suggest we should have voting for the first round finished within a couple of days, and have voting for the final three starting by the weekend. I don't mean to step on feet, but I really enjoy these competitions and don't want to see them become inactive.

So, if nobody is opposed how about we make Friday the deadline for first round voting.
