Wowza! I just had a look at the images and I'm tempted to sell my cameras. What a wonderfully talented bunch of folks I'm associating with! Thanks to Scott for pulling things together so quickly and thanks to everyone who entered images. It's been a pleasure to look at and very inspirational for me to get out there next year.

All of the entries are simply outstanding! What a tough vote! Thanks to all who made it happen!

I thought I would drop in quickly and cast my 3 votes before dinner. Nothing doing!!! I went through all these wonderful images and narrowed my list down to a tiny 14!!! This is going to take some time! So many excellent photos! Choosing will be tough!

I can't get "Fall's End" to load. Anyone else having this problem?
Somehow image titled "Falls End" has a different thumbnail image then the actual shot. Not sure if anyone noticed it but it's a pretty nice shot so I would hate it to get overlooked. All are great entries which made it tough picking faves but speaks volumes about the skill level on this forum. Good luck everyone!
Posted by Jack Garrett on November 21, 2011 at 8:42 PM
I'll notify Scott!
Posted by Jack Garrett on November 21, 2011 at 9:53 PM
Hopefully the Falls End image has been fixed!
Posted by Scott Bacon on November 21, 2011 at 10:20 PM
I think I've got Falls End displaying now. The thumb is hosed and I won't be able to get that back (its generated at upload time).
P.S. Don't use apostrophes or other special characters in your filenames when you're uploading an image to the web. Most code and browsers don't like those kind of characters in filenames...

Just finished voting....am exhausted....so difficult this year!

Voting for President was so much easier. Fantastic set of images submitted.
Posted by Jody Grigg on November 23, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Your kidding me, I have to log in to see the large images. I have enough logins as it is, sorry will not be voting then. Can't you come up with a generic login or something.
Posted by Adam Schallau on November 23, 2011 at 11:46 AM
Jody,
Keep in mind that the moderator team, and the webmaster (Scott B. who is graciously hosting the event on his site) have had to put together this years contest on short notice after the recent change in the RNMP leadership.
Hopefully Scott will have a chance to share why a login is necessary to vote, but I'm willing to bet it is partly due to the need to capture who is voting to avoid having people vote for their own images, or voting more than once.
Best,
Adam

Don,
Are you using the username you created when you entered the contest?
Posted by Don Grall on November 23, 2011 at 12:50 PM
I didn't enter any images, I had two I meant to enter, but time management has been a problem for me lately.

Ok, being from Ohio (member of the midwest forum), I am not a member of RMNP. Is there any way to see these images other than in the small size? Thanks.
