Hey, since when do we close the comment thread for the previous month? No fair.

[Stefan-A]

Since I got too lazy to open it up again.

Geez I must have angered a bunch of you or something. I can't believe I got so pathetically few votes in both the photo and caption contest. Even if the entries weren't mine, I thought they were great. I honestly thought my photo was the best one and fit the theme best too. Sometimes the results of the voting really puzzles me. You guys always keep me guessing.

[Stefan-A]

That's life. Everybody has their own opinion of what makes a good picture. Sometimes it's the quality, sometimes it's the subject and sometimes it's (presumably) the poster. I made the decision a long time ago to not tell people on what merits they should judge the entries.

[ConcinusMan]

Oh I know. Not really complaining. Just making an observation. I hope you don't misunderstand me.

The results are what they are. Just surprising to me is all.

I never thought you were complaining.................just whining

"You take what you get and you don't throw a fit"

I'll be honset Richard I never expected my photo to win.

[ConcinusMan]

I still say it had more to do with who posted it.

Not that it was a bad photo.

But you got this all wrong. It's "You take what you get and if it's not what you expected or wanted, you then throw a fit"

Oh hey, I was just thinking what a challenge this theme is going to be for me. I hardly ever see my snakes drink and when I do, it's usually after I feed them and I have fish slime all over my hands. Kinda hard to take a photo. And then I saw that first entry. Very, very clever!
