OK. Yes it seems more fair to choose this beforehand. What do you guys think about getting as many as we can by say midnight Saturday and I'll plan on posting ALL winners on Sunday?!
Would anyone like to volunteer to PM the others to assure maximum feedback?

Sounds great! I'll be happy to do a group PM to let everyone know in case they don't check here.

We're each to send you our top THREE images out of the whole of everyone's excluding our own, correct? By midnight tomorrow night.

This is very hard

roz. This SC was teeming with great images and interpretations. I left just a few comments here and there being busy with participating to the ongoing challenges and the March SC.
These SC are very impressive. Great job everybody. I was at the point of participating also but I was a bit shy.

If this is People's Choice why not invite everyone to vote, why only the participants?

So, I take it there is no single post with ALL the entries to pick the top 3 from? Would make it a lot easier.

Ok, I'm not going to have time to go through all of them and pick 3 even if they were all in one place. Go ahead and move forward without me.

Yeah, sorry, what he said. I can't not do it either. But I can not believe the amount of energy you guys have put into this. A huge thank you . With this one out of the way, and seeing how it runs or doesn't The next one should be smoother. Thank you Tate for all the hard work you did on this even with a sick kiddo and puke feasts. And Lydia for giving us a kick in the arse in PM's. And to Roz, for being Roz xoxoxo. You guys are simply amazing. Thank you

so i'm putting something out there ..
i have been thinking about GRATITUDE ..
and how its a wonderful thing to improve your state of mind .. especially when you are struggling ..
when you switch on and notice the things that you could be grateful for .. you then tend to see even more things ..

i was thinking that taking photos of those things .. or representing them somehow in a photo .. could be a great project for me ..
then i wondered if anyone here would be interested in a side challenge that focused on gratitude ..

i'd love to get some feedback and suggestions ..
i'm going to start a thread .. but i'm putting this in here .. because some of you might be keen .. :)

WOw! These are great picks (if I say so myself...ha!) There were so very many great edits in the SC!

I'm honored (and grateful).

This was my first choice:

Marion's genius in adding the building and her hubby astounded me. My mouth actually fell open when I saw it.

My second choice:

Georges' edit on this is amazing! Look at all of that detail... it's so believable and so well done!

My third choice:

I laughed out loud when I saw Ken's edit. I never would have thought to put "cartoons" in there, but it works brilliantly!

There were just SO MANY fabulous edits! This was, to me, the hardest part of the SC... picking only three for People's Choice.

I plan on showing my top five picks of the edits done on my image later.

Thanks to tate and Lydia and all those who helped keep things organized. I burned through most of my fuel in the first few days and got one second wind to finish all but 3 edits. I really wanted to comment more as I was super impressed by so many of the entries. Well done to all who participated.
