(60,010 posts)I really liked the horses photo, too.
Mira
(22,378 posts)and not in a bad way like the reign of Agent Orange.
I got so lucky and won first and second place. WOW. It was a very close race, and Urban Hermit, California Peggy, and all other entrants deserve Kudos and thanks for entering.
I saw the two headed Giraffe and laughed out loud. Knowing the humor of it alone will make it a winner. And I still marvel and study California Peggy's two islands.
Anyway, thanks all for your votes. It may not happen again for a long time if ever that the same person wins both top places, albeit in tight races. Just totally lucky.
But just for that I'll make some threads of the two places where I took the photos in the next day or so. I hope you will like to see them rounded out a bit.

(60,065 posts)I just had a memory of when you bought a lens from some man. I think it was a 50mm lens. You posted a photo of him.
Mira
(22,378 posts)I am lost. No memory of it. Life is long, and mostly beautiful. I hope you enjoyed my photos - I took them with love and whatever was on my camera. LOL

Ive decided I like the HDR function on my camera. It doesnt make that halo between objects and the sky. It lends itself well to editing.

(149,296 posts)I am strictly a hobby photographer and I want to thank all of you for your very kind words. They mean a lot to this old lady!
I didn't start taking pictures seriously until 2005 when I got my first digital camera. Everyone here has helped me learn and grow!
It was a great contest!
I love my fourth place spot! A little glory and zero responsibility!

(33,164 posts)both worthy photos. (I voted for the second place one)
I did not realize you could enter more than one photo in a contest.
Mira
(22,378 posts)When it looks like we won't get the totals up the host can declare opening the thread for second entries. There were a number of folks who entered two photos. But you have to wait for the host's OK.
though it is often hard enough for me to find a single good photo for the contest.
