Just a reminder that today is the last day to vote and it's looking very close.

 

 

[Marianne]

Thanks for including one of mine! Hard to choose from among the others. I think I have broken the tie (for now, at least)!

[ReeRay]

The poll is now closed - congratulations to Michael Ventura for winning a very close end.

 

Over to Michael now for his competition theme

 

 

[VbFolly]

Well done, Michael. Your guitarist photo is clearly a winner!

[Ed Rooney]

 

Congratulations, Michael!

 

And thank you, ReeRay, for doing the challenge in this busy stressful time of your relocation.

[Michael Ventura]

Wow, thank you all who voted.  I really thought VBFolly had this one for sure! I voted for her wonderful photo of hands banding the bird's leg and I thought I was on a roll by voting for the winning image for the last few challenges.  I will put some thought into a new challenge topic today!

[NYCat]

Congratulations. Wonderful photo.

Si si, Michael V is a prince among men. Our other Micheal (MDM) is also prince-like when help is needed.
