You guys are tough!! I loved each entry from the beautiful birds to the beautifuly ugly birds!!

A quick first pass gave me a nine way tie for first between

airfrogusmc, newtophoto, Henry, mikerault, msjgd, kenjis, john_b, ed, boring tdi

each getting 9 out of a possible 10 points, I had 9 people with 8 points and 5 with 7 points. Break down was 3 points for impact, 3 for creativity, 2 for composition and 2 for technique (all completly subjective of course!!)

Any way running those nine through the same process but a bit more critical -- here are the Winners:

1st - MSJGD - 9 pts. Congrats - an awesome photo with great color and impact!

2nd - Tie between Newtophoto & Ed - 8 pts.

3rd - Tie between John_B and boring tdi - 7 pts.

Just awesome entries everybody and thanks for making the last two hours both enjoyable and miserable in trying to pick a winner!
