13. Apparently my browser is not communicating with

Aha! In the middle of writing the subject suddenly the picture turned up, even though I had waited several after getting to your reply and after trying to view the image. Wonder if it is my browser or a problem with the photo hosting site? Is it Photobucket?

Thanks!

24. Big file, took time to load but glad it worked!

If there are a lot of big files to load, like with the OP, a browser will sometimes give up.

14. Red Dress takes it for charm.

The others are all beautiful though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. These are all beautiful...

It made making my choice all the more difficult!

16. K&R... The talent in DU is boundless.

I was torn in my decision.

[midnight]

17. K&R Good luck everyone..

[handmade34]

18. Ah!

I recommend this poll

[necso]

19. Without doing due diligence

(which would take considerable time), I like the second photo; the dress related photo.

It has good "story" (Quinceañera? ...), and the framing/composition is a lot better than might be obvious (it's a nice picture without the dress). (I downloaded it and tried some things.)

[necso]

23. I originally thought the dress might be

a prom dress; but while I can't be sure when the photo was taken (no aspersion on the photographer intended), I eliminated the explicit reference, since it seemed unlikely.

And I also thought maybe it could be a bridesmaid's dress. But it seems a little fancy for that.

Still, since I know essentially nothing about fashion, I can't be sure. (But I think I finally figured out what a pirate patch is... golly gee willikers.)

The point being that the picture made me curious; made me think. It seems a very good vignette.

...

That's not even a remotely plausible interpretation.

And that would not be a problem, issue, concern, hitch, sticking-point, dilemma, obstacle, or botheration for me.

66. Do you know what I hate about these phucking photography contests?

We can only vote for just one!! An impossible task, as all of you are so talented. :)

I voted for "Ain't All About Bourbon Street, Mon Cher". It takes me right to Frenchmen Street and inspires me to turn on some jazz music.

They are all wonderful photos, though. Here is to all of the DU photographers! :toast:

[tawadi]

67. This may be a stupid question, but is "Red Dress" New York? eom
