1. OK, I'm in!

In the pink, pink passion, the southern part of heaven--in my front yard!

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Love it!

Already brilliant colors entered.

This is going to be fun!

3. Teamster, your url is acting up because there are spaces.

that is the %20 you see. Redo the original file name to something like
Notice I took out the apostrophe. I've made that mistake more than once, even after I figured out what I was doing wrong. Hitting the spacebar is unconscious for me.

BTW, it is a lovely image.

4. Thanks, Alfredo.

I was wondering what was up. It seemed like I was doing everything the same as I ever do. The apostrophe was the problem.

[alfredo]

6. Good. Glad I could help.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. Am already in total awe

The color choices are fabulous!

[handmade34]

7. So, JDB?

[JDB]

8. .

Thank you for your kind words. The photo was taken in New Orleans a few weeks ago. It is the Piazza d'Italia urban public plaza on Lafayette st.

12. I should have guessed

all good things come from NOLA... love it there

[alfredo]

9. I am changing my entry. I didn't go with my gut on my original entry, so I changed it.

If there is any objection, I will change it back.

[Whoa_Nelly]

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Totally agree!

[Solly Mack]

Great theme!

NV Whino - Just simply Wow!

Loving all the entries.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Capturing the explosion

Awesome entry, Solly Mack!

Each entry here so far is just so wonderful. I've had quite a few <gasp> moments when I've checked in to to see the latest entry.
This is going to be a tough vote, and really fun once we get to prelims.

[handmade34]

17. I want to second that

"Awesome entry, Solly Mack!"

[Mira]

18. Is there room for a third?

It moves and it sings. Gorgeous.

[Solly Mack]

22. There's always room for Mira. :)

[Solly Mack]

21. Thanks, handmade34!

[Solly Mack]

20. Thanks!

[NV Whino]

19. Nice shot.

Love the motion, and it still has a center of (almost) focus. Nicely done.

[Solly Mack]

23. Thanks.

I was hoping to find one with more of a center focus but I didn't really like the ones that came out.

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. The Riot Continues!

Mz Pip! I was hoping you would enter one of your recent photos of the tulips! Well done!

[Mz Pip]

25. Thank you!

It was tough to pick an entry.

[postatomic]

26. Did you know that roughly 97% of images uploaded everyday

were taken with a cellphone? I have no problem at all with this. My only complaint is that the 'quality' of the phone images (the ones I see) are total crap.

So, for those of us in the elite 3%.....

[postatomic]

27. Solly Mack!

A beautiful creation.

[Solly Mack]

31. Hey! Thanks!

I'm liking yours too!



Johnny Noshoes ...Sweet!

28. Thank you for such an inspiring contest!

I went out into my garden looking for the most "explosive" flowers, lol. Here are a few of the other ones I took. I found it hard to choose, but went with my heart on the one I entered.







Thanks again, Whoa_Nelly. I love any excuse to go out and take photos of flowers, lol.
