4. They are all so wonderful ...

... it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite. Thank you for posting. I agree with the previous poster. It truly is a wonderful rest and comfort to enjoy these photos at the end of a heartbreaking week.

15. Red sky at night

reminds me of the sunsets I used to get from a past home, in a past, often-missed life. Nostalgia made this choice for me.

19. Ooh, that was tough! Reflections is amazing, but I went with Duck and Cover

Just because I can't imagine how the picture was even done!

[intheflow]

27. That's what I thought looking at it, too.

It really is an incredible shot.

[Digital]

54. kick

I'm pretty sure that it's a gnarly black storm coming in quickly. It is a nice contrast to see the sunny pleasant day at the beach with the incredibly dark and violent storm on the horizon, approaching quickly.

Got my vote.

40. May's Subject?

What's the subject for May's Photo Contest? I take photos and would like to submit some work and was wondering if you could PM me?

[insane_cratic_gal]

42. May's subject is decided by the winner

And it's posted in the photography group in democratic underground. I think it's under personal interest, One of the subgroups you get here once you've donated Democratic Underground.

[CC]

48. The subject for May will

be decided sometime after a winner for april appears. There is usually a suggestions thread and polling thread though the winner is allowed to just decide what the theme will be. The photography group is here. It is more than just the contest and a great group of people. Come by and take part. We are greedy and love to see lots of photos.

I would not depend on a pm. The winner will be under enough stress even if some make hosting the contest look easy. :)

73. Share some of your photos at the Photography Group!

Sure would like to ee some of them :hi:

67. Painful to pick just one - they all deserve first place. Remember when you were a kid?

Absolutely beautiful, and I will stop and look up tomorrow. I did a lot of that with wonder and appreciation when I was a kid, but at 55, I sometimes forget. Thanks for the reminder that it's still good to be alive.
