    Multiple selections are allowed. You have to select each entry you wish to vote for at the same time, then click the vote button. [​IMG] Once you click vote, there's no turning back.

    We're up to 18 votes, and everyone is still within 1 vote!

    Yep, multiple selections have always been allowed. It is stated in the rules post, but maybe a brief instruction on how to select multiple choices should be appended.

    Thanks guys. Actually this photo was taken late in the afternoon. No natural light through my window. The secret is I have one of the those bubble lights in the ceiling, like a skylight, that enhances the light. If I took this photo at 1400 hours it wouldn't work, way too bright. The bubble is so efficient I have to wait for early mornings or late afternoons. I use a Canon A650IS camera and use the camera setting 'Foliage' in SCN. I find that photos were easier on the Southern Division. Many folks don't realize how difficult photographing scenes that are predominently green. I'm constantly tinkering with lighting. And of course, this and all my photos are taken using a timer and a tripod. Thanks again. Cheers, Jim CCRR/Socalz44
