***OCTOBER PHOTO CONTEST --Finals*** [View all]

The theme for this month's contest is "photos that remind me of a song". Photographers were instructed to use either the title of the song or a lyric from the song as the title for their entry. If a lyric was used, the song title will be included in parentheses.

This month's contest was originally to be hosted by AndyS, who we sadly lost to cancer last December. We dedicate this month's contest to him, and to all other DU'ers who have been lost to us.

Here are the FINALISTS!
Please vote for your favorite that best represents the theme for this month's contest. Finals will run for 72 hours.
