There were about 230 photos submitted for this theme. Was very hard to choose, but I went with these elements - quality of image, quality of the actual shot and uniqueness of subject.
Also, rather than having a category like must see or honorable mention, I chose to highlight a few images simply because of their worthiness. So here are the winners for the Chapel, Church and Places of Worship theme....
Top Picks:
1st Place ~ Wat Temple and Czech Steeples both by Gul Dixon
2nd Place ~ War Memorial Chapel and Bear Valley, WI both by Melinda S
3rd Place ~ German Chapel and German Mosque both by Rose H
4th Place ~ West Palm Beach by Lisa C
5th Place ~ Benton in Snow and Wayside Chapel both by Dan V
6th Place ~ Greek Orthodox Church by Kat W
