It is always exciting to participate to this contest. :cheer: I am not very pleased with my photo (not very clear because of technical reason, I guess), but I hope the flower will make a good impression. :) Anyway, I know in the final some exceptional pictures will appear. :shock:

Rosie, I hope you're picture will be ok. The modern cameras take good photos, unless you set it to a low resolution.

I can't wait to see the "finalists". :)

Well it's now 12 midnight on Sunday 15th August here in Perth. I think most of you in the US are 8-12 hours behind us so it will be just about noon or early afternoon with you.

Still don't know if I have an entry. Sent original entry to Marty but I think it was too small. Resized the format on my camera and sent another pic today. Still don't know if that was any good either. :(

Oh well, if I don't get in on this one I'll be well prepared next time.

Can't wait for the voting!

Dendrobium Laevifolium

very nice photo - love the lighting - Good luck!

Marion, yours unfortunately is undersized and not usable for print. Jeff, nice pic, but I don't have it. Hope you sent it to the correct address

How are we supposed to know that you got them? I sent a pic last week, but didnt get a conformation email, so only assumed you got my photo.

i hope you got mine

Oh well, I'll have to sort things out for next year. I'm looking forward to seeing all the entries and voting.
