Finalist 2011 Save the Redwoods Photo Contest

[mdvaden]

Turns out that one of my photos was selected as one of 10 finalists for the 2011 Save the Redwoods League Photo Contest. From among 500 pics submitted.

 

The public gets to vote from July 21st to August 12th.

Looks like some of us "Tree" finalists might need a helping hand to contend with the slug and salamander shots - LOL

 

When the first surge of emails went out to Redwood League people, the tree and forest pics were in the top 3 positions after about 300 votes. Last night and this morning, the banana slug soared past about 5 finalists. Pretty sure that Facebook and stuff are going to influence this kind of contest. Either way, it's fun stuff.

Thanks all.

 

I'm still chuckling at the "Creature" shot (Banana) slug. I suspect a network of kids is pushing the votes on that one. I can hear them now "Go Slug ... Go Slug"

 

If I can end up anywhere in the top 3, that would be nice.

 

Cheers Mates

Thank - you.

 

Actually, I almost voted for the Salamander, but loyalty to my pic won-out too. The Creature / Slug photo looks like a second camera lens is stuck in the shot, so I thought the Salamander was the better executed of the critter ones.

 

Know what though ... a Sword Fern was one of last years top 3 winners.
