You said it all, Irene!

Phil, thanks for putting me in the T5. This kid was a sweetie, and I'm glad I could put his image to music. Good Luck, Everyone. Voted-Kat

Congratulations to the top 5, also- great idea for a challenge, I struggled with an idea for it for the full two weeks, nothing came out as I had hoped, but it was definitely a great challenge, with lots of ideas that could've come from it.

I haven't gone to many live concerts, but Jan's picture did bring back the mind and heart blowing feeling of our 10th-Row seats at Neil Diamond's concert(s)! Sweet memory - Thanks, Jan! Kat

Congratz to the top 5 , great theme and with the combo of song & image.
Only one captured it well and got my vote , good luck !

**byteme** · 06-26-2006, 02:53 PM

My Heartiest CONGRATULATIONS to 'Yellalablady' for being a deserved winner - a wonderful picture.
A super competition that was my first ever attempt.

'Jan' - 'Ari Sultanik' and 'Kathyspix'all deserve an accolade for making the final choice so difficult .

Best wishes to you all - Regards John (alais Byteme) - Twist & Shout

**KathysPix** · 06-26-2006, 04:28 PM

This is one Challenge that I was glad to lose (in fact, getting 5 votes was shocking!) My brain fought over 2 of the images way before the Vote was opened.

Monnie - Congratulations! It's a great start at Pzo. Kat

ps: boy, some people will do anything to develop irresistable photo subjects (fall in love with a hunk, go through 84 hours of childbirth, make sure their child marries into another perfect gene pool, make them go through 106 hours of labor - and then borrow the results for 30 minutes of picture-taking! hmmph! )

llllll

**Jan** · 06-26-2006, 05:55 PM

Many congratulations Monnie, a delightful image, a true winner.
John, your Twist and Shout is also a great shot and good definition.

My congratulation go to all the finalists and all the entrants and many thanks to Phil for an excellent topic. It was good to see a lot of new members participating. Keep up the good work.

See you all in the next comp.
Jan

Wasn't it just!!! The same thing is happening over at the Project Challenge too. (which, btw, is a Goodie!) So, Newbies and Oldies - head over to that thread and join in. It runs through Sunday.

Welcome to Us!

Thanks, everyone for the vote of confidence in my picture. Kaitlyn has my heart. She is such a sweet subject. I had to assure my SIL that "no babies were sunburned during the shooting of this picture." LOL
John, I loved your Twist and Shout. Great picture. If By the Beautiful Sea hadn't been mine, I'd probably have voted for yours. I love the expression on the boy's face.
