****OCTOBER Photo Contest WINNERS****

Wow! What a fabulous collection of photos we had representing the color ORANGE for our theme this month!


The host chose the theme this month--the color ORANGE--with the hope that we could end this election season with an appreciation for the beauty of all things orange which
are present in our world rather than forever be left with a bad taste associated with the color due to the nastiness of one man. Thanks, photographers, for all the entries, and thanks
to DU for supporting our Photography contests!


And now, for the WINNERS!


1st place goes to Burning Town by postatomic for the stunning shot of fall color in the picturesque little mountainside town!




2nd place goes to the great big gorgeous moon Hunter's orange by teamster633!





3rd place goes to the incredible Profile in Orange by Solly Mack, who is our very own bird photographer extraordinaire!




The host is happy to award Honorable Mention for humorous and creative interpretation of the theme to Selfie Portrait by Mira!




A big round of applause to the other FINALISTS for their photos!


Orange you happy it's SUNSET! by elleng


On the Beach by Mz Pip


The Pier at Sunset by CaliforniaPeggy




Postatomic, it's all yours for November!

Many of us do use photobucket (it's free and easy). Others use flickr or imgur or other services. But photobucket is free and easy.

And stand precariously on the edge of a storm sewer drain. If you absolutely need to know I'll PM you. I'm not big on geo-tagging and stuff like that.

The voters really know their stuff, don't they! Perfect choices out of many wonderful entries.
Congratulations, Postatomic, teamster33, and Solly Mack. And thank you, mnhtnbb for running a smooth contest for us. It's a lot of work, and I appreciate your expertise.
It was a very nice surprise to see you liked my photograph. It's in the stairwell of our local YWCA, the main color of the Y is orange.
