Congratulations, Petar!

Just a personal comment for the admins. I think contestants who submit pictures should also take part in the vote. What is your oppinion?

+1

We do our best to get every body to vote, I even send out a message "you have not voted" but as they say, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. Part of the CWP was any one can also vote even if they did not take part in the hope they may next month. We are trying make sure as many people as possible vote by in large we get around 90% vote every month I think that fairly good result.

I try and stay 100% neutral to all of the contest but run it as it should be just the same As Franco and other have done before.

Totally agree, but I have forgotten a couple of times in the past. Luckily usually someone reminds me.
Congratulations go to Peter.

I agree too, but life has sometimes a way of getting in the way....

Hi Steve, probably a silly question but is there any reason why I would not get the 'you have not voted' message, like maybe a setting I need to change somewhere? Very often I miss the deadline due to life and work commitments getting in the way of my overworked brain! :-)

I congratulate Petar and the other two winners. I am pleased that so many good contributions to the topic of white have been submitted.

thanks so much . congrats to Peter, and to all for so nice contribution!

a great topic this time!
all Winners!!!!!

Congratulations Petar
Thanks to all participants for the beautiful photos
Many thanks also to Steve for the collaboration and to Rob for the idea of this photographic game

I miei complimenti a Petar Bojić, Annemarie e franco ben per i loro risultati a questo contest, naturalmente anche a tutti quelli che hanno partecipato, ciao buona giornata Bruno

Thank very much everyone who voted for my photo and congratulations to the other podium winners and also who participated. I will post next months theme within the next few days.

Complimenti al vincitore e a tutto il podio
è bello quando i punteggi sono così vicini!

Well done Peter, definitely one of my favourite phots, though I missed the voting deadline...

For next month, I propose the theme "Heavenly Blue". Regardless of what is in the picture, the blue color of the sky should be impressive. The sky can be with or without clouds, as a background or in the foreground. You can find some idea in my album Blue sky
