Does anyone remember the photo contest I entered?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Well......tonight, I got an email from the folks running the show!

They asked that I re-send the pictures, one at a time!

So, of course, I just did!

What do you think? Do you think I have a chance? Why did they ask?

I am so jazzed!

Oh, how I am hoping!

2. Good luck, CalPeg!

Good thoughts coming your way from AZ. My BIL entered a photo from his fishing trip in his county fair and took third. The amazing thing is that he took it with a disposable camera.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Catshrink!

Thank you so much!

That is amazing....with a disposable camera!

Good for him!

I'd be thrilled with an honorable mention..........:toast:

[NMMNG]

24. Likewise

Do you know when the results will be announced?



Yes, I'm enjoying the new cut. I just wash/condition, then put some leave-in conditioner in it, run a brush through it and I'm done. It's so much easier than before.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. I just got ANOTHER email!

Apparently the files I sent tonight will work.

I was told that the winners will be announced early next week!

So.......as soon as I know........you will too!

You have faith in me?

Thank you sooooooo much.......:loveya: :hug:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

41. You are definitely in with a very good chance I think

If nothing else, the fact that they want you to re-send the photos individually suggests that they consider your photography worthy of a second look and that it an achievement in itself.

I loved those photographs so much that I bookmarked the thread so that I could return to look at them at a later date. I think you are an absolutely amazing photgrapher -as I think I said in that thread, you capture the depth and the intensity of the subject you photograph -and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the judges are of a similar mindset.

Here's hoping for the best -you certainly deserve to go far :toast: :yourock:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. My dear socialdemocrat1981!

I have tears in my eyes at your lovely words.......

Thank you so much.......
