Congratulations photo contest winners!!

Wow, the NE had a very strong showing. WC, it seemed I saw your name in many many categories. Pirl, your Omo picture should grace the cover of a gardening magazine. Wonderful, as were everyone's! We have a lot of talent roaming around this forum. Northeast Rocks!

You were correct Venu, you did see my name many, many times...

- Just can't keep good things under wraps sometimes I guess, - annoying isn't it? (lol!!)

Fall & Winter 2010 1st place winner. ☺

Oh, congrats! Loved that photo!

Hee hee! Thanks, my DW picked it as an entry,

- I picked this one as the second entry and got it printed, now I have to get the winner printed! lol!

I only entered 1 and got a runner up. Ric

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all who participated.

That's very nice, I like that! The grass obscures the shore just enough to make you want to come closer and see what's behind it. - The soft pastel colors of the sky don't overwhelm the pic, - very nice!

- Congrats! ☺

Lovely photos, WC and Ric.

Don't forget your own runner up with that great red poppy, Louise!

Yes, & Victor had some lovely shots, Ronnie, Allison, Pirl, also...what a nice showing for the Northeast photographers!

Congratulations to everyone!

Hey, Memory.....missing your posts! How are the kitties?

Congrats everyone. Venu I saw your name on one of those pics, too.
Pirl, I must say that your Clem pic was spectacular both the blooms and the pic.
Watercan, I saw your name many, many times. LOL Beautiful pics. Holly

Yes, thanks, my red poppy earned a runner up. I only entered that as an afterthought, go figure!

Ric did the same thing. It was the only pic he submitted and at the last minute, too. LOL Holly

You guys should play the lotto more often, "ya gotta be in it to win it" lol!

The print came in today, now it's finished..

Absolutely splendid! Good job, WC!

Thanks, btw, that handrail in the snow shot was very impressive Pirl!

Thanks, WC. Coming from you that means a lot.

I loved that shot too. I didn't realize that was yours Pirl. WC, you should frame and hang the duck shot too, it's magnificent!

I agree! The reflections were just awesome.....

Thanks, the duck shots were a matter of seeing a possible good shot and then investigating further, I literally had to go 'undercover' for those shots, (I say shots because I went crazy taking pics when I saw what I had in the preview, lol!!)

This was the shot I took when I saw there was the possibility of 'something more'...

Further investigation, wading in mud, and crouching a lot led me to this..
- That branch had been growing there for awhile and the lack of sunlight underneath stopped the grass from growing and provided a little bay that the ducks could find food in seclusion with some protection from possible predators.

With no food in hand to coax them, (I don't like to use food to entice an animal for a shot, unless it's my birdfeeder..). I remained a respectful distance and stayed as still as I could and snapped away. Some male, some female, multiple ducks, some have yellow reflections, some orange and then there's red...

one of the 'good' shots..

Just want to add Ducbucln's shot of the hummingbird was a great shot, and well worthy of first place. She consistently takes awesome pics of birds and I admire her ability as a photographer in that specialty.☺

Wonderful, WC. Thanks for the lesson!

lol! - my pleasure ☺

Not sure how I missed this thread........could of sworn I left congrats to everyone on a thread, are there 2 threads?

Congrats to everyone who came in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd and anyone else who placed as runner ups! I've always said the N.E. forum is a treasure chest full of characters with talent!!

Nothing like coming in late and bringing up the rear. ^_^

nice shot of that duck wc!

Quack! ☺

Great shots WC!!!

that might be a better shot!

- Hindsight is 20/20 Bill... ☺


-Thanks Luvs!!

That poor duck got shot so many times, I'm surprised he's still swimming ^_^

Hee hee he!! So true!! A duck w/9 lives.....who would of thunk-it?

Hee hee! - Thank goodness they haven't been shot yet! lol!

- actually they all looked the same, like 'mirror images' of each other!

- even when they came out to investigate me! lol!!

I have several that land in my neighbors field every spring. The 'field' has a low spot and turns into a small pond every spring with the onset of April showers :)

Not nearly as nice as your pictures WC but I do love the color of the ducks themselves.

And sometimes I get more than just ducks!

Nonsense Pixie I think they're fine! the second duck has esp interesting colors!
- Foxes too! -Like to burrow and make homes.. cute though.

Oh....how cute the kits are! I even like the adult foxes....so neat looking....
