* * * SEPTEMBER PHOTO CONTEST - FINAL POLL * * *
First, I want to say that this was one of the best photo contests we've had in a while. It filled up quick, and the entries -- ALL of them -- were outstanding. Below are the two top vote-getters from each poll, plus the next four from the three polls taken together. The topic, of course, is "the line," which each of these represents very well.
Go for it. 
Poll will stay open until September 18, noon Alaska time (that's 4:00 p.m. Eastern).
1. Golden hour at Jacobson's
2. Veranda
3. How not to step out of line
4. So many I can't count
5. Genesis
6 Antelope Canyon
7. Mooring lines, Nassau, Bahamas
8. The feather
9. Horizontal, Vertical, Askew
10. Rock formation, Upstate New York

May the best one win!
Okay, I am voting for Genesis. I *loved* all of them, but my final logic is this --
The photographer who took the "Genesis" picture, with its exploding lines all leading to little "seeds of creation" makes me think of an everyday sight in a totally different way. By pulling in the title of "Genesis" with its creation mythology and even Star Trek references, I see the "lines" as part of a larger "whole" - as part of ALL of creation, radiating outward, even though the *actual* item being photographed is probably smaller than a quarter. It also reminds me of kaleidoscopes, as if it will "change" if I look at it from a different angle.
Does that make sense? Am I doing this right?
This is hard! I can also *very* easily justify votes for all of the rest of them, but dammit! I'm sticking to Genesis.
I think.
If I don't change my mind before the voting ends.
Thank you!
I think I might just close my eyes and pick....they all are perfect for the topic and beautiful. 
Great representations of the September theme...
I finally just chose the picture I would likely hang in my house... too hard to choose otherwise.
Fantastic job by the entrants!!
