(2,869 posts)they're ALL so good!!!! I threw my vote in for "still snowing"... it just fits with that little bird's expression and cock of the head as he looks down at the chunk of snow on his bird feeder. With the little snips of snow in the background, it's framed beautifully. But then, like I said, all of them are SO great. It's just this little photo spoke to me loud and strong, deep in my soul.

(15,565 posts)Just beautiful, every last one of them, but I had to go with my very first choice since I'm a real sap for barns and wintry scenes and the "serenity" I feel looking at it.
Thanks to all for these perfect reminders of the importance of Mother Nature's beauty.

(7,850 posts)But I was mesmerized by the birds. Once again, "still snowing?" needed no extra votes, so I voted for "She", who is so self-contained, fluffed up, gently colored, and beautifully framed. Living in upstate NY, I sometimes think of the original inhabitants, who spent every winter without central heating, or hot showers, or any of the comforts we may take for granted. And the birds live their entire lives without modern conveniences. They're stoic and beautiful.

(67,838 posts)The wan setting sun below a winter sky with cirrus clouds and contrails. The beautifully silhouetted tree so stark and crisp. But it was the ground. Is it ice or a melted pond?
It says to me, indeed, Winter's Almost Gone.

(28,352 posts)Truly, each photo is beautiful -- worthy of enlarging and framing. Of course, I find winter scenes to be peacefully mesmerizing, thus my favorite.
A huge thank you to those who contributed to this contest, and to CaliforniaPeggy for its coordination.

(149,771 posts)First, you should subscribe to the Photo Group. Here's the link: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1036
You hit the large orange rectangle to the right of the name of the group in the top left of the page.
Then, every time that orange rectangle lights up, click it and see what's going on. The announcements for each month's photo contest normally show up very near the start of each month.
There are pinned posts at the top of the Group's page that show how to post a photo, if you don't already know how to do that.
We do run the contests in General Discussion.
Any other questions, you can ask me here, or PM me.
Hope this helps and welcome to the Photo Group!
