Now it's time to vote! Voting period will end at 11:59pm(PST)on Saturday, January 26,2008. No vote will be accepted after this time.
It's that time of year again! It's the Best of 2007 photo challenge. Please read this entire post before submitting your entry.
Thank you and have fun!!!
Here are the rules.
Each picture submitted had to be shot in the year 2007. It can be a picture we haven't seen yet, but it must have been taken in 2007.
We have 6 categories:
Best of 2007 Portrait
Best of 2007 Macros
Best of 2007 Architechure
Best of 2007 Still Life
Best of 2007 Landscapes
Best of 2007 Wildlife
To Enter: Anyone who wants to participate chooses only 1 category to enter and only 1 photo for that category. Put in the title of your entry post "Best of 2007 Entry(insert category here)". That way we can organize them appropriately to keep them separate and in order.
Example: Say you wanted to enter a photo for the category Portrait. In the title of the post, you would put "Best of 2007 Entry Portrait".
How to vote: Write the word "vote" first in the comment section.
Only 1 vote per category, per person. Feel free to comment on any entry post during the challenge.
Special note: I am not going to count the votes in the "vote" section. The reason being is that I am not able to track who the votes are coming from, and if someone has voted more than once in one category. Please continue to use the vote section to get the entries to the front page (that's important), but if you want your vote to count, please write the word "vote" first in your comment. I hope I explained that ok. :)
(!!!ATTENTION!!! Anonymous Hero votes will not be counted due to the nature of cheating. You must have an account to vote. Sorry.)
To view all entries: Go to the Bi-weekly challenge section.
Entries and voting for this challenge will take place for a 2 week period (just the same as a bi-weekly theme).
I will personally make something lame for the winners myself. Afterwards, I will send the lame prize to the winners, if they choose to receive one(this is an option).
All submissions are due by 11:59pm(PST) on Sunday, January 20,2008. Any submissions after that time will not be entered in to the challenge.
The next theme will start on Sunday, January 27,2008 as planned.
Voting period will end at 11:59pm(PST)on Saturday, January 26,2008. No vote will be accepted after this time.
Winners will be announced on Sunday, January 27,2008 after votes are counted.
Have fun and good luck!

PROBABLY A YEAR OLD LION
Everybody's posting great things!
Here is my attempt at the portrait division of the best of 2007 photo. I took this photo of my daughter when we were killing time waiting on a class of my son's to end and she just got out of the pool a few minutes before this shot. I thought it turned out to be one of the best ones I have of her recently.
Well, after much consideration and some prompting from a couple of close friends, I dug aroung for something from 2007. I don't think this presents much competition for anyone, but here is my entry. Simply called 



Like many of you, I had a difficult time choosing. . . getting older; getting pickier.
It was sooo hard to choose!
I took this trying out my new camera
