Great appreciation for Michael saving my bacon. He lives in the DC area but I think he’s a Georgia peach!

 

All of the images I chose are excellent. Choosing was very difficult because I could have easily chosen an additional 8. You should have seen my initial list!

Good job, people!

Thanks, Betty (and Micheal). But it's a paper map in Rome.

Great images congrats to all the finalists! 

@Tony ALS Sorry for your recent loss. 

[VbFolly]

Thanks for choosing one of mine, Betty. It must have been so hard choosing eight from all the wonderful images submitted.

Sorry about that, Edo. I plead exhaustion. That’s my excuse & I’m stickin’ to it. Love the offset composition of that image. Good eye.

[NYCat]

Thank you, Betty, for such an interesting topic and for choosing one of mine.

It was very hard. I have the utmost empathy for all other winners that in their roll have had to choose. There’s an element of guilt involved.

[Betty LaRue]

Bump. Get those votes in, people!

[Doc]

Difficult to choose one!

Last day to vote folks!

I’m calling the contest finished a few minutes early since I have to be elsewhere at the exact time.  CONGRATULATIONS to Steve Hyde for the excellent winning photograph “Hoot For Peace”.

Steve, I’m passing the baton to you for the next challenge. Have fun choosing the subject & setting it up! thank you again, Michael.

[Ed Rooney]

 

All good photos, but Steve's Hoot had a bit more weight and message. I voted for it and there's no truth in the rumor that I was promised a slice or two of Steve's tasty cakes. 

[Michael Ventura]

Congrats Steve! Looking forward to your challenge subject.  Happy to have helped, Betty.

[gvallee]

Well done Steve, a clear winner.

 

[VbFolly]

Well done, Steve.

[Steve Hyde]

Thank you for the kind comments guys, I’m a bit chuffed about that, especially given the stiff competition. Thank you Betty for a great challenge. 
 

I’ll look through the long list of previous competition subjects I’ve found and put a post up later with this months challenge 🙂
