Well first let me congratulate all!!
As they were all great photos to my eyes!


??? FireDragon, Flo & monty28428 - why no name for your photos? ???

I do have to pick the top three so here it goes...............

Third Place goes to "Open Wide" by Geno DM
It had good colors and a small DOF in just the right area. Can the subject still see? ??? :lol:

Second Place goes to "Peach Flower" by atmianzo
Your photo being first and being full and rich in color just kept me coming back to it.

and finally for 1st Place!!!

First Place goes to "Goofy Eyes" by BASmith
With perfect sharpness, perfect colors, great angle and the perfect subjects expression it just was the best of the best to my eyes!

we have to get a more consistent ending time for these things. I had a few shots ready and was going to decide when I got done working this AFTERNOON and did not notice for this thing to end at 3PM PACIFIC TIME. Oh, well, just will save them for another time. ;)

Congrats to BA for an interesting shot for sure...and Geno I still LOVE that shot it's it one of the most interesting eyeball shots I've seen so far.

Lavanut, I really like yours though I think it would have helped if you used some bounced light to fill it in a bit and bring out the colors in the shadow...still yours was my favorite. Nice shot!


Real men shoot Pentax because we're born with our own Canon's!!
{Ok...ok, some of use just have a PnS but it it always makes me happy! :D}
Pentax K5, K20D, Three Amigos (Pentax FA 31/1.8 Limited Silver, Pentax FA 43/1.9 Limited Silver, Pentax FA 77/1.8 Limited Silver), Pentax DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited, Sigma 24-60/2.8
