    Jim, I have never voted for myself on the basis of both principle and logic. And I would be happy to give you my vote if your photo pleases me the most when all entries are presented. :tb-biggrin:

    Great shot, Russell. Realistic perspective, reflected light from a water surface. Gets my vote for best picture.

    Coming around turn #2, Socalz44 still is 1 length ahead of spidge and r_i_straw that are running head-to-head with Pachyderm217 and COverton still on their heals. This could turn into a fantastic photo finish...

    Socalz44 is keeping the lead, but spidge isn't letting him get away easily and many others are close on their tails.

    2 Days left folks. Everyone is welcome to vote so put one or a few in. [​IMG]

    Coming down the back stretch, Socalz44 & spidge are neck and neck with a two length lead on Pachyderm217 and r_i_straw. COverton leads the rest of the pack; virgule, MCB, and tracymckibben...

    As we come into turn number three, Socalz44 takes a commanding lead, spidge is holding the second spot, with r_i_straw and Pachyderm217 battling it out for third, and COverton still in hot persuit.

    Maybe I should have voted for my own instead of Pachyderm217. Then I would be ahead of him. ;)

    As they make there way around turn number four, it's Socalz44 by four lengths, followed by spidge, Pachyderm217, and r_i_straw with virgule, MCB, and tracymckibben bring up the rear.
