Well, it's time to announce the winner of the "Rate The Photos" Contest.
I entered a photo contest for the first time this Summer. I submitted 4 photos, 2 color and 2 monochrome to the "30th Anniversary of the Oregon Salon of Photography". And, guess what? Out of 1,194 photos one of my photos was selected for display!I was curious how the judges rating of my photos compare to the opinions of the masses (that means all you folks).
And the results were very interesting! Out of 26 entries NOBODY agreed with the judges on the best photo!
Here is the way the judges ranked them.
The Highest Score - On A Thistle
2nd Highest Score - Santiago 
3rd Highest Score - Paracho Door
And now the part you've been waiting for! Drum roll please...
"The winner is... (opening envelope)
Barbara L. !
(Confetti falls from ceiling...)
Barbara picked 2 photos in the correct position and had the top score and second score flip-flopped.
Barbara wins an 8x10 of any photo I've posted on Gather. So, Barbara, let me know what you want and where you want it sent!
And, all the rest of you, better luck next time! When is next time? Very soon...
