Please choose the three pictures of flowers that you like the best in the order of preference. (For example: First - #8, Second - #12, Third - # 2. It's the same as Luna had it done previously.) The picture with the most FIRST votes wins. Voting will end on Sunday, June7th.

The winner will have his or her photo and username (unless otherwise requested) posted in the [edited by dk] JU paper (still awaiting permission). He or she may also opt to receive the small gift I chose for this contest.

Thank you all for your entries. I hope I figured out correctly which ones were actual entries.

Edit by dk:

I would like to get the winners printed in the paper, not in the classifieds section. I would like to print pictures the same way we print stories. I'll call the boss right now.

Update: I just spoke with the boss. The top three winners will be printed in our paper every month and be given a list of awards (read: gift certificates, etc) to pick from.

Once winners are named, I will need pictures sent to me high-resolution for print.

I would have loved to enter, but you don't see too many flowers round these parts. Should have bought that hibiscus bush I saw a Lowe's back in April:D

#9, #6 #5 in that order. #5 was an exceptional example of depth, line, and suprising

imagery of urban concrete giving way to nature. Thanks.:)

I would like to say that when judging, the children photographed should not enter into your decision...it was an obvious ploy to try and swing votes...the voting should be limited to the flowers only!!!!:D:rolleyes:
