I'm closing the lid on that and looking forward to a busy weekend.
I hope those that have the weekend off have fun things planned.
One of the things I have to do this weekend is to try and pick two submissions for an upcoming photography competition I'm entering.
AND
I was hoping I could get help with that from all of you . . . .
There are ten 'finalists' behind
In numerical order (only to avoid trying to call them something in a comment):
PZ01

PZ02

PZ03

PZ04

PZ05

PZ06

PZ07

PZ08

PZ09

PZ10

cut tag.
If you've got a couple of minutes tonight or over the weekend, could you pop in, take a look at the 10 finalists and leave a comment with which were your top three? (that is if you liked any of them) Any feedback would be of the awesome. Thank you for taking a look if you do!
Okay, now get out there and get to your Friday night plans.

Sorry, my vision is jaded from seeing really amazing stuff on Flickr. Heh.
The weather is horrible .. it's cold (for here) and stormy .. so I'm not going out this Friday.
Have a great weekend :)
*blech!* Horrible weather heading into a weekend is NOT GOOD!
I hope you have snuggle-under-a-blanket activities at hand.
...ummm, that wasn't meant to sound as naughty as it might.
Close the blinds and snuggle down with a good book?
Flickr? Oh goodness I wouldn't never compare my stuff to some of the amazing work on Flickr - or yours!
Try and stay warm and thank you for taking the time to vote.

I mean, it's subjective. I like the more abstract shots more than buildings or animals. But all of these are just beautiful.
But my top three would be:
3, 6 and 8
But really I love them all!
L, thank you so much for stopping by and 'voting'! :o)
Have you been doing any photography yourself?
It's so nice to hear from you. Don't be a stranger, y'hear!
Did you get out on your bike today? It was gorgeous!
Thank you for commenting on these!
I hope the ones I end up submitting (I'm allowed two) get good rankings.
::crosses fingers::
(I've got my fingers crossed!)
Thank you for taking a look through these and leaving your choices, darlin'.

YEAH I PICKED FOUR THAT'S HOW I ROLL
9: offers a bit of a visual trick -- I mistook them for bowls of rice at first glance, and then had to readjust, which was fun
5: that tiny red window on the whitewashed wall looks brave and lonely and just strikes something inside me
1: this photo pretty much sums up my complicated relationship with water, which is that I need to be near it and yet it terrifies me. I don't know how you manage to do that with one photograph, and yet--!
3:I love this one for the way you've framed it, but I would also say it's the most commercial of the ones I've chosen; that might affect whether or not it makes a good candidate for the contest.
Also, eeeeee! I have my fingers crossed for whichever you choose to submit! If the judging is post-St. Paddy's, we shall hoist a dram in your entry's honour when we get together and have (vegetarian) colcannon. *g*
The preliminary 'judging' is happening on the 24th.
So pencil me in for an evening of Colcannon and Shinannigans!
Thank you again for checking these out and picking FOUR of them. :o)
*muah!*
How are you sweetheart!?! OMG. You. YOU! Gosh, it's so good to hear from you.
Thank you so much for checking these out and leaving your comment.
*smooch*
I love 1, 9, and 5 best. Though 1 and 9 are tied for first place, with 9 ever, ever so slightly in the lead. By, like, a micron.
I'm blown away that people are stopping in, taking a look and commenting.
My Friends list rocks!
Oz, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! like the icon :o)
But there are a couple of definite favourites most people seem to be picking.
I think it's going to be a no brainer as to which I'll be submitting.
Again, thank you for leaving your vote and very flattering comment!
PZ08 has the most 'votes' so far. PZ09 is right behind it in second place.
Yours is the only vote PZ07 has so far.
Talk to you on the weekend. Love you!
In order of faves.

Thank you so much for leaving your comment. At the moment PZ08's in the lead, with PZ09 is right behind it.
PZ 08 and 09 are the two leading images so far. It's going to be pretty easy deciding which I'm going to submit.
Good luck!
"I just know that they were the ones that jumped out at me."
I want you to know that that means so much to me! Thank you.
