THE PICTURE CHALLENGE WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN. TAKE A LOOK!!! (REVISED AGAIN)

(**REVISION NOTE: 2 more entries have been added (#6 and the 2nd #9 (tie)). Sandi had turned in the pictures well before the deadline but the links never made it to the picture challenge article. Thus, I have calculated her score and added it to the list. If there are other changes that need to be made, please let me know!!) 

Alright, I've tallied up the votes as of midnight for the picture challenge:

I am so very proud of all the creative entries. Your imagination was astounding. Each gatherer who entered a photo into the challenge will earn the prize of having me comment on a page of their pictures. The winner will receive comments on all pictures. To allow for a less-biased result, the winner was chosen by having the rating for the picture be multiplied by the number of votes received. The number of votes, the rating, and the total points for the entry are provided to the right of the picture. It's late at night so if I've somehow missed someone or my math is off at all, please let me know ASAP.

The Winner is: Jennifer P jeninthedesert.gather.com
