Well the deadline has passed.
I have 50 acceptable photos submitted.
1 person submitted in portrait format (up and down) and there is just too much black space to be acceptable in my book. Since the rules were stated in the beginning (see bullet 5), I had to eliminate that photo, sorry to that person.
I am compiling photo previews now with captions and numbering system to allow voting. I hope to have voting up early next week, but please bear with me as I am very busy. I have 3 school board meetings in the next 10 days due to district accreditation, so I am swamped overall and keeping my life in check with 3 kids and both of us working... you get the idea.
A new thread will be posted for voting, so stay tuned and check this forum often.
