I really think there should be an option to change from judged to voting on both the Fixed Lens and Digital contests. I like to enter, and I don't like judging. This contest I can't do either.

I loved both Terry and Don's ponds with the red - in Don's case bridge railing, but the winner of this challenge is Ed with the photo of water lilies at Bok Tower. I didn't read the title until after I decided on the winner, but I've been to Bok Tower - twice actually. Once in 1967 and again in 2006. I didn't take any photos of the water lilies - just of the reflections of the tower

Bok tower - Then 1967 on the left and Now 2007 on the right

Then and now Bok Tower reflection - left 1967: right 2007

So Ed it is your turn,

I also have been to Bok tower, in a former life and last century. LOL, and yes, I thought I did see you there in '67 Rosalee!

 

[OldCrow]

Congratulations Ed.
