Official Closing

I never thought hosting a contest would be so fun and busy. All the comments, replies, pictures... it was interesting and great. But I don't think I will do it again-with a prize involved.
So the photography contest is now closed, finally. Since I now have three contestants, there will be three winners in this order-1st place, 2Nd place, and 3rd place.
All the entered photos were great. I know you all love photography. Thank you all, it was fun chatting and returning blog visits! I hope it was fun for all of you! SO here it goes-it's so hard to pick one above the others, but it must be done-so 1st place goes to....

Amber from This Crazy Life!
This is her photo that won first place
I chose Amber's photo because- first of all, the flower itself is beautiful, thanks to HaShem. Second, I love how the photo presents the flower to be bold and bright because it is close -up. I also love how simple, yet amazing it is. Great job , Amber! Congrats!!!

Second place goes to....
Alexa from Dallas Valley Photography!!
I chose this photo from the three Alexa entered because, one- the color of the flower is stunning.
Two-the composition of the picture really shows the flower to advantage. And third, it's just altogether beautiful. Wonderful photo, Alexa!!! Thank you

In third place, last but most certainly not least, is...
Adriana from Simplicity!!!

I chose this photo from the two Adriana entered because of it's individuality and self-expression. This picture is put together and everything corresponds-the colors, the mood- it kind of leaves room for the imagination, which I love. Super job Adriana!

I want to thank you all for your good sportsmanship , I hope you have had as much fun as I. And if any of you hold your own photography contest, I will be sure to enter!!! Thanks again, I hope to keep in touch with you in blog world. :) Oh, and sorry for all the "change of plans", and that I am a little late. Thanks for your patience.Can't wait to hear your responses. Be sure to leave me your addresses through a comment, Amber and Alexis. I will not publish it ! ) I don't think that makes a smiley face.. anyway. Once again,

  8. That is OK. I fully understand. She is right in being watchful. You should copy and use that button I just made. ON the right sidebar. I guess it doesn't really matter, cause the prize isn't that great anyway. I wish i wouldn't have put it. Just like me though.
