Update. unless I get hit by lightning or a bus, this will be up today.
Fun Fact: we had a 9 way tie for 7-10th place!!!! Never seen that.
Photo tip: often there is a great image but when we get looking at it, too many man-made distractions in the background i.e. a pack dumped out, a friend's leg, half-of-a rifle, an orange glove. Clean up your backgrounds a little and I think that'll help you. And many great images are over/underxposed. They can still make the finalist list, but properly exposed can get you the win.
stay tuned. building the voting thread now...
