September Photo Challenge - VOTING *Pick 5*

[iceman (Mike)]

Well done Andrew, very well deserved. I knew it was a 3-peat as soon as you showed me that picture!

Incredible shot.. can't believe you got there at feeding time!

Nice subject, i'll start the new threads tomorrow.

Hi Mike

Welcome back! Andrew’s Tiger and your Lion are certainly majestic looking beasts.

I’ve really grown to like and enjoy the monthly comp; each month I get to think anew about my photography and perhaps visit new places, or try different things in old places. It is also just plain nice to see what other members of the IIS crew have been up to; viewing life through their eyes as they interpret the subject.

It really matters not who wins, because that buzz only comes right at the end, and is generally short lived (at least it was for me in my one and only “win”). Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to have your efforts recognised, but by far the greatest thrill for me is learning something new, seeing something differently, having a new adventure in trying to get a “winning” photo and enjoying the posts of all the entrants. That buzz endures a whole month long and tends not to fizzle out.

However, I do appreciate everyone’s votes, so if anything I do happens to take your fancy, I am always grateful for, and appreciate those votes, cast in my direction!

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks for the welcome back, Dennis! It's great to be back

Your sentiments are spot on, too.. while it's a thrill to get votes, which means that your photography is pleasing to other people as well as yourself, in the end it's the challenge and the fun that's more important to me.

RB winning a 3-peat is an amazing effort too, and goes to show that Andrew is truly an artist and can achieve whatever he puts his mind to.. like someone else I know with the initials DS
