I couldn't even pick the favorite of MY entries!  I didn't even vote for my entry that won 2nd lol.  Next time I will enter just one picture of the same scene ;)

I thought all the entries were great way too hard to come up with just one fav.

hA!  I noticed that too.  It is good strategy to upload only one per scene because otherwise it splits the vote.  But Erin and I noticed that if you add up all the Hummingbirds and all of your Oil Rigs, both have 20 votes total.  :-)  So the tiebreaker would be that one hummingbird photo got more votes than any one "gusher" pic.  :-)

I noticed the 20 votes also hehe
But I don't mind 2nd place, especially since I will be getting the blue swirl that I wanted :D

Glad it worked out for both of us Keith.  The Blue Swirl looks awesome, but I already have one in my collection.  Looks like a win for both of us.

My blue swirl arrived today!  My wife already has it set up and running for me, waiting for me to get home :D

Thanks again Erin and Mark for this contest, and Erin for the quick delivery of the lamp :)

[Erin]

Woo woo! Yay!
