Denise Ippolito<\/a> for helping me choose the images that were sent to the judges. We worked very hard for nearly three full days to get from more than 5500 images down to the final 163. <\/p>\nThe Hand of Man category was defined as follows: the composition must include man-made elements. After a somewhat slow start HOM turned out to be a very popular category. <\/p>\n
Before you vote, please click on each image to view it at full size. Then pick your five favorites and vote them 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 with 5 being your very favorite. Like this:<\/p>\n
Great Egret on spillway: 5
\nKingfisher on barbed wire : 4
\nBurrowing Owl on wooden cross: 3
\nJay on tombstone: 2
\nBird on the fence: 1<\/p>\n
The “Sample Vote” above is for illustrative purposes only. Please do not let the sample vote, the votes of others, or the names assigned to the images influence your vote. Please put each of your five favorites on its own line by hitting “enter” after each one. No ties; please assign a single digit, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 to each of your five favorites. As you will see there are a great many beautiful, interesting, and even thought-provoking images here. <\/p>\n
If you wish to comment on any or all of the images, please do so below<\/em><\/strong> your five voting lines; this will make tallying the votes easier. Votes cast by those who fail to follow the formatting directions will be relegated to the Trash Bin. <\/p>\nA tally of the public vote along with the actual winning images for each category will be announced approximately 48 hours after each posting. <\/p>\n
Thanks for voting and please remember to breathe deeply and have fun. <\/p>\n
