1. I thought I would start it off by entering my own pic.

Good luck everybody! I'm really looking forward to running this one.

9. I'm in

Have been away at a conference and was so excited to see this tonight. Mine is a based on an era that was truly black and white in the minds of the people that ruled then. Black and White photo for a Black and White era under King Henry the 8th. Sacked abbey it is.

I'll give it one more day then open it up to second entries.

16. I was wondering if we need 30 entrees.

Seems like we get to 24 and the entrees crash.

Why not have three rounds of 8 in the semis and go with that?

Just wondering.

17. Thanks for the suggestion, but it's too late!

We're up to 25 entries. Actually, I wouldn't want to part with tradition, since it's my first time running the contest.

Thanks!

28. I just went through five shots

before settling on a second entry. Birds or flowers? Flowers or birds? Or a fisherman? I'm surprised the submissions didn't close while I was vacillating between choices!

And then there were polar bears and zebras, too!

29. I know! It's crazy.

I plan on posting a thread after the contest is over showing some of my other possible entries. I have too many of them.
