2008 Calendar Finalists
 

Here are the spectacular finalists. Top winner gets the cover, the next 12 will be featured in the calendar Jan-Dec. Good luck everyone !

If you don't see your photo (or all the photos you've submitted), you didn't make the cut. I tried to pick the best photos with good focus, landscaped and ones that were large enough for printing.

Remember, You can vote for more then one photo. Best way is to write your selections on a piece of paper and then vote. Of course, You may vote for yourself.

Winners will get a copy of the calendar. If you win and feature 'x' number of photos, you'll receive 'x' copies of the calendar.

Big Thanks to all that submitted their photos !

NOTE: In case of a tie for a place, to simplify the process I'll make the final selection. :evil:

Marty, are the plant names available?

I'd like to congratulate everyone for their chosen photos! :clap:
Absolutely stunning array of beauty here at OB :banana:

Marty, I can only imagine how hard it was for you to narrow down the list! :yikes:

Marty, I don't know how you got it down below 50 choices... but picking from this lot is so difficult! They are all so gorgeous!!

Thanks for all your hard work getting this far!

Yes I do have the names, but it would take me 3 hrs to sift through my emails and match the names with photos. Base your vote on whether you'd like to see this photo in the calendar. Once printed, all photos will be accompanied by the author and the name of the orchid.

:nod: I would have voted for LIJane's Magic Lanterns as Cover shot (and/or centerfold) but since it's not here - :(
:cheer: Go #14 :cheer:

:clap: :clap: Great Pictures Everyone!:nod:

Marty...
I took the liberty of making this a "sticky" thread.
I'll un-stick it when the poll closes :)

Didn't want it to get lost ;)

Thanks for the great calendar contest job, Marty. I don't envy all the work you had to put this together ... but I do envy that you got to see some incredible photos from which to 'narrow down' the field. Kudos!
