Had quite a difficult time choosing just one favorite from Michael's selections, and I'm honored to be included.

 

- Ann

[Phil Robinson]

Seems to be clear leader already.....

It's really HARD for me to not vote for myself!!!!! Fortunately one of my very favorites made it to the finals so I could vote with a happy heart. Not ALL of my favorites made it. So MANY terrific photos. Thanks for including my successful bear.

Just realised - I should add 'triumphant' to the keywords.

[Doc]

Didn't participate this time, but good selection of photos - I have just added "Triumphant" to a couple of mine!

Yes, I need to do the same! These challenges are lots of fun and helpful, for this reason! Looks like we have tighter race than initially thought! It is better when they are close!

I have to say that I am excited that we have such a close race in this challenge! If you have not voted yet, please do so! The poll closes tomorrow, the 7th, at midnight GMT. If we still have a tie, we will do a one day run off poll for just the two images. Keep the votes coming!

Looks like we have a winner! No run off needed! Congrats to Chris E. For winning this challenge any getting the fun privilege to pick the next challenge theme word or phrase! Thanks for all the great entries!

Thanks Michael for organising this theme and for selecting one of my entries for the final competition since there were, as usual, many great shots. I really enjoyed the close race and thanks to everyone who voted for my picture. I was really surprised it was such a close race but Chris romped home in the end. Congratulations Chris E, your photo was my favourite!

Many thanks to those who voted for the duckling. We did hatch this at home, such fun.

 

Michael's 'triumphant' will be hard to follow. What is clear is that some contributors have seen new concepts in their own images.

 

I need to come up with a concept that will be as inclusive as possible. Thinking cap on.....

 

Regards

Well done, Chris, and good luck coming up with a new subject.
