Finals Thread of the May Photography Competition for your Delectation and Delight! [View all]

Hey Everyone

Thanks you to everyone who voted in the preliminary rounds of the May Photography contest. DU has spoken and I am as pleased as punch to present the favourite 9 piccis for you to decide the winner of this splendid competition. The winner gets to decide the theme of the next competition. This month Grumpy Old Guy decided the theme and he settled on "I pulled over for this shot."

This poll will be open for 72 hours so please spread the word. Also please do comment in the comment section, those who enter these competitions really appreciate the kindness and praise that their images inspire.

Posted in GD with permission and by convention.

So without further ado the finalists are:

Winter Solstice Sunset, Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, Delaware


Main Supply Route 1, Tongil-ro (Unification Road) DMZ to Seoul, Bukhan Mountain


Yellowstone Rush Hour, Grand Loop Road


Cafe that I was passing in Saint-Remy-de-Provence! I liked the way it looked.


Glory on Gloria Avenue


Glamis Dunes near Sunset


US 19, ST PETERSBURG FL, OLD SUNSHINE SKYWAY, 1954-1980


Moving the flock-Harris Creek Road
