2009 Calendar Finalists - VOTE NOW

[Ross]

That's sort of what it's like when we encourage everyone to submit photos. In the past years, there were fewer submitters and it was easier getting into the calendar. Now it's harder (and rightfully so). I hope there are even more submissions next year. We have some really great photographers out there! And some great subjects. Way to go folks!

I most definitely agree! The lighting on #39 was outstanding. I was also surprised that number #8 didn't receive more votes as well. Well, whoever took those photos I offer my congratulations because they are great shots in my book.

I bought my first calendar last year. . .and have LOVED it every single day of every single month!

I can't wait for this new one! It's gonna be the best one yet! You guys all soooo rock!

This was so much fun! My photo was #12!

[Always Orchids]

Mine was #17. It is of Paph S. Gratrix and was taken almost a year ago. Thanks for the votes and congrats on all who took such great shots. There is a lot of talent here.

I am not saying which ones I voted for as they were all beautiful .... Gin

I was #19. It got way more votes than I expected. I only wish some of my shots from earlier in the year were higher resolution. I had a couple of great slipper shots. Congrats to everyone! Now someone must tell me what #44 is. I just love it.

Number 44 is Thelymitra variegata from Western Australia. Yes, it is my pic too. Tony

Congrats Tony, the flower is outstanding. I also voted your picture.

same for me... Unfortunatelly, I misunderstood the poll at the beginning and voted for only one picture. It was N° 39 (if I remember correctly ), my favorite from all of them...

P.D.- The other plants I would have given my support were; 12, 16, 25, 26, 29, 30, 32, 33, 41, 42, & 46.
