congratulations on a great place in the challenge and a stunning image ..
its a shame that ppl may vote you down if they have seen similar before ..
my personal opinion is that each image should be judged on its own merits and how it fits the challenge ..
you live in the most beautiful place btw .. i'm so jealous . !!! .. ;)

The End is Near

i wondered when i was voting .. an 8 btw .. whether someone was talking to tucker out of sight to make him stand there or whether you are just such an amazing dog whisperer that he stood there on your command ..
i loved this in the challenge .. and congratulations on your fourth place .. so good .. :)

Shade no more

congratulations on your ribbon ...
and i love the subtle blue tinge ..
its an awesome photo for the challenge btw .. and even more so after reading your backstory ..
and wow .. going without power for over five days .. not great ..
we used to lose power a lot where i live .. and when there was a storm we'd fill up bottles and the bath with water just in case .. as when we lost power we dont have anything .. we have a tank for water and a pump that pumps the water into the house .. so when the power goes out ... no water .
fortunately the power doesnt go out as much these days ..
in voting i actually thought the tracks were from some animal .. but now reading your notes i'm thinking it was you going backwards and forwards cutting that tree up .. hope you had stocked up on supplies before the tree came down ..
a positive is good wood the fire tho .. :)

this has Jomari written all over it . !! . lol ..
sorry my vote of 8 didnt seem to help you get on the front page ..
it deserved to be there ..
i suppose ppl vote on a first impression .. ie. does it fit the challenge .. when a bit more time can make a photo morph into something more applicable to the challenge .. who knows ..
just another wonderful image to add to your amazing collection .. xx

good to the last drop
