I see that you are up to 527 now. That really is a beautiful picture. Good luck!

jack1706 · 07-23-2009, 07:09 AM

That is truly a GREAT pic.
I just voted and hope you win .........
Besides the early time of day.... can you explain where this is exactly and were you on land? or what ?
Good luck... I hope you share more with the forum as so enjoyable to view.

Redwing · 07-23-2009, 08:00 AM

Thanks!

This was looking from my dock. Center Harbor would be on the left side of the picture and Two Mile Is. Would be on the right side. JUST out of the shot to the left would be the entrance to Blackey Cove.

Winnigirl · 07-24-2009, 06:25 AM

Your picture is now up to 253!

Gatto Nero · 07-24-2009, 10:17 AM

Gatto Nero · 07-31-2009, 04:43 PM

It's definitely climbing but it only has 568 votes right now whereas the current first place photo has almost 3200. We need lots more to give him a chance. Spread the word.

Don, can we make this a sticky thread to help give one of our own a shot at this thing?

pats fan · 07-31-2009, 06:33 PM

It is 7:30 pm and we are up to #74! Notice I say "We"!? We can do it Winnipesaukee.com! This is a team effort. Good Luck!

You've cast your final vote for this entry

trfour · 08-12-2009, 07:13 PM

Keep on voting!

Hey KTO, are you going to share the Million Dollar first place prize with us?

Winnigirl · 08-12-2009, 08:44 PM

It is now up to 34.

KTO · 08-13-2009, 05:05 PM

So if you've gone to vote today, you've realized that you can't. Good reason for that: the contest has ended!

Before saying I lost because I only got as far as 33rd (Which I couldn't have gotten to at all without your help. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but most of the views of my picture were from this site!), the rules say they will pick a winner out of the top 150 ranked pictures...IT'S NOT OVER YET!

Quote:

# Grand Prize: One winner, selected by Brickfish from the top 150 highest scoring entries, will win $1,000 cash or scholarship.

Quote:

Within one month from the expiration of the Submissions Period (subject to extension by
Sponsor), a random drawing for the Prize or Prizes will be conducted from amongst all
eligible Entries received.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY -

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED!!!

Whether you voted 100 times or just 1, thank you all so much for your support! I will absolutely keep you updated on the final results!

And if I get that $1 million prize, I'll split it between every member of this forum :P (That's what, $25 a person?)

eillac@dow · 08-13-2009, 09:18 PM

First of all....my apologies if my last post was posted...never got to finish it and the next thing it was gone!

KTO....My best wishes to you. I will keep my fingers crossed that the judges see the beauty of "Lake Winnie" and select your pic!

Good Luck!
