The reason the rules were changed is because if the person who selected the theme also picks the winner, there would be no point in that person participating in the contest for that month since he can't pick his own photo anyway. We don't want any rules that discourage participation.

Thanks, I am humbled and honored.  I thought all photos had great merit.

SVT_Tactical's photo was cool because it was taken with a cell phone through binoculars.  I would never have thought to try that.

TRP_Operator's deer pic is a nice action shot.

RifleDude's pool pic reminded me of my long lost younger party days!

Tahqua that is a wildly fast train.

Bitterroot Bulls Killdeer photo has outstanding focus.

It's a good thing Brady submitted too late.  That is a terrific shot.


How about 'Water' as the theme for the next contest.  Water in any form, even a photo of a glass of water.

I was thinking more along the line of outdoor, standing on the lawn.  Of course it will require a discreet camera angle.Whacko
