***** Winners - Mini Challenge - 470 *****

I want to thank everyone who participated!
I am overwhelmed by the response and the depth of talent. These mini-challenges show how much is at the fingertips of our members. Bravo.

Picture are not showing up.  Will re-post later.  Here are the results!

Honorable Mention

RLBur

Perfect fit for the theme. Very few people have an image of this area in their minds. Very nice contribution.

kodakrome

This image could easily be a top-three finisher! I expect to see this in the brochure for this area. It could easily be the on-line face of this attraction. Great Job!

Postcard class Bruce Hunter! Venice Great Color and sharpness!

It may have been a just for fun entry but you can't hide talent. Pro-look pro-finish. Great colors, striking composition, Well Done!

Cellphone Award or once again proving great cameras won’t help me. Another blow to the camera industry.

Love Hawaii! Very nice image too. Amazed that the sun streaks and the rocks look so good. Well Done!

Bravery and “coolness” BTRONS

Uh, How close are you (44mm, G9)! And where is the mom?!

They can swim, but I notice the engine is running. Don’t stall, don’t stall. But sir, I don't have to outrun/swim the bear, I only have to outrun/swim you. :-o

Spirit of the Contest Award

A Tie!

Impeccable Timing Award Visit Charleston Kodakrome

Nice! The horse had the right pose too. Even the lettering is the right sizing and style and placement. Your timing is astounding. This could be used in a tourist campaign very soon. The city should be calling you any moment now. Like it was said, your timing is superb. And talent, again Well Done!

Third to the throne Fenlander An excellent ready to go campaign ad for a very large tourist market. Good Show!

Second Child Globemstr3

For his "lucky" shot. Great vista, nature and colors!

First Better Than Average Joe

Averagjoe

Combination of view, color and the road leading one, with the mystical desert southwest made this concept tops. Well done.

Canon PowerShot G9

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone who sent in photo entries. Thanks also to User4286416121 for the enthusiastic hosting. And, I appreciate the "Postal Class" mention. Sometimes,I feel like an interloper here because my entries are "For Fun" only.

I'd just like to add that "Carnival in Venice" is a photographer's dream and worthy of a spot on anyone's "bucket list ".

This site has been my go to for many years.  There were so many times that I needed to reply but wasn't a member.  Several times I tried to join but was stymied.  A major incident took place and I needed to help.  Then suddenly one day I noticed that I was logged in.  Hmm.  I wrote a couple inane idiocies and kept on going.  Well now that I can reply at any time, all my previous well thought out replies, and tremendous insight, along with my very cautious approach to only replying to extreme cases, went out the window. ;(

DPReview's infinite wisdom has immortalized me as el dorkosaurus.  Oh well.  I guess I should finally pick a name and maybe an avatar.

Thank You for the kind reply, and for entering the contest.

Thanks
