All the pictures so far look great. There's some real talent floating around out here on CD.

Question:

I've been contacted by the site Administrator and a even a couple of members about the time for submission. Someone even mentioned it in this thread. Does anyone have a huge issue with us leaving the poll closed until 11:00am Friday?

That's actually in the OP for the contest, I just looked. (Actually I had it closed until 10:00am Friday) Anyway, that will give folks a little more time to get their pictures in. I know we have a multitude of CD members effected by the ice storm and I know everyone is busy, so we've been thinking of it being closed for voting until tomorrow morning.

DM me if you have any serious issues.

(Also, since we had a couple of extra spots, I'm going to allow the submissions by folk not listed in this thread as long as the format is correct and there's room in the poll for them.)

So I notice that many of the pictures are nice scenic winter shots. However, they really have nothing to do with the holiday season per se, other than the fact that the holidays occur during the winter. Should/will voters be encouraged to take into consideration whether or not the photograph actually fits the stated theme?

When I get ready to open the poll for voting I will make an edit that states the theme and then end with some form of a question like:

So, CD members, which one of our contestant's pictures conveys the winter holiday season the best to you?

Sound good?

Yes, that's a very good way to handle it.

Silly me. I didn't even notice there was a theme. I'll delete my photo then.

EDIT: Actually, too much time has passed. Alpha8207 will have to delete it for me.

no no randy, leave it.

It's fine.

And it's a fine picture too. Or if you have a Christmas one or can take one, you still have time.

Whatever you want to do, but we definitely want you in there!

The winter snow scenes are in line with the theme..Any one could be the front of a Happy Holiday card..And Randy, your talent is amazing... Your photo would also be appropriate for a seasons greetings card
