[TwistMyArm]

Thanks a lot to all who submitted this month. We have a tone of great photos once again.

All 41 photos can be viewed here: Close-Up

You may notice that in the gallery some files appear larger then 150KB, but every photo included was less then 150KB when uploaded to the gallery.

Please keep in mind that we are trying to keep this challenge anonymous (and unbiased) when it comes to both the submitting and the voting. Please avoid sharing your opinions about any specific photos until after the voting has completed and the winner is announced.

Please read the titles carefully in order to avoid confusion before voting. The photos may not be sorted in the correct order so to ensure you view them in proper order scroll to the bottom of the page and where it says "Display Options" ensure you select Sorted By: "Image Name" Sort Order: "Ascending" and then click on the "Show Images" button.

After viewing the photos please take the opportunity to vote for your favorite. Good luck to all. If there are any questions please let us know.

The polls will be open for the next seven days.

Yes one looks oddly familiar, but all of them this time around are stunning. Defintely had a hard time choosing the 'best' this time. May I also say, nice range of different ideas?

Yes, it was definitely on my shortlist! For I love the COLOUR along with the clarity and sharpness and crispness and what other words there are for a perfectly focussed and exposed photo! Congratulations jcharcalla! (Have I seen you around much?)

I'm fairly new to this forum and that was the 1st time I submitted a picture to the contest. Either you people are nice to the new guys or that was beginers luck. I shot the photo with my Olympus c-750.

It is just A GOOD PHOTO!

What else have we known about it, other than that it is a really good close-up photo (and I love, love the colours! )

Now I can see that your reply to my question was only your fourth post.
So let me officially say WELCOME TO THE PHOTOFORUM to you!
And congratulations again!
Your photo was "just the one"!

Come to the galleries and post more, and tell us a bit more about yourself in the Welcome and Introductions Forum, will you?

(We are a nice bunch, you know?)
