I’m pleading the fifth on this one.
Naw, feature it, claim you just gave us an extra 2 days.
Welp, looks like @Turek is going to be strongly in the running to win it for the second straight month with that awesome waterfall pic.
Also, nice strategy-- Turek gets the last submission pic in under the wire for the second straight month. Kind of like how Hollywood releases their Oscar-bait movies in January to keep them top of mind for the judges 
Yeah, I noticed that, too. We’re on to you, dude.
Not to take away from the photo submitted, which is beautiful.
Who, me?? Strategizing?? 
Actually, it was a little bit of both: strategy, and also forgetting to do it when I was at my photography computer until the last minute.
Thanks for the compliments.
I’ll post earlier next month, I promise, assuming I have anything that qualifies.
I wish I could say I am fulfilling the premise of going out and shooting to the subject, but I’ve been so busy at work and getting ready for a photo trip to Patagonia, I just haven’t gone out to shoot much. Plus, where I live sucks for the types of photography I like to do.
I just did a hiking trip in Patagonia in December. I think you will have plenty of new material for these photo contests.
Sheesh…I’ll be lucky to get as far as Albuquerque.
And the poll is up. Thanks everyone for yet another awesome set of photos. I’m going to have a hard time voting (not for the usual reason that I stuffed up the poll, but because there are so many great options).
Do you have to choose three? I only voted for one and it’s not taking my vote.
Where?
Never mind, found it.
Yes, you must choose three:
That’s a shame. My vote goes to Zyada. Tell her for me.
The new poll looks great!
Getting such a Last of the Mohicans vibe from this.
@Turek - many years ago I caught a photography exhibit that I loved - the photographer had taken very long exposures of fountains. Your photo reminds me of those photos.
Thanks @WildaBeast
The reason for this is to prevent runaway winners. It’s more fun for everyone if the votes are spread around a bit, and fun is the name of the game. In fact, I wanted to have people make ranked choices with 3, 2, 1 points for their choices, but the forum software doesn’t allow for that.
It’s worth noting that having three votes each was always the rules - it’s just that it’s only now that we have a single poll we can enforce it.
And @TwoCarrotSnowman spake, saying, “First shalt thou review the photos. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then pointest thou thy Holy Finger of Selection toward thy keyboard."
This might be my favourite post on the whole SDMB.
This is the post that slew me! 
Amen!
