Thanks. It’s even got the ISS in it!

If I have a shot at winning, it’s either that or the storm pano, I think.

I did a circle with totality, but the totality shot wasn’t mine, so I crossed it off the list. But I think it’s a better shot.

Didn't know Flickr did that. I joined the group and I'll be submitting photos as well. Good luck.

And to you as well!

I think these are judged by a group of people, and not user votes; in my experience user-voted contests usually get rigged.

I'd much rather be judged by an "independent" panel.

Yes, I hate user votes and having to send out a link to everyone to vote for your stuff. Here are my submissions:

Flickr announced the winners today. 4/5 are fantastic. I don't agree with 1 being the best for the category. I'll let you look at them and see which one you think before revealing which one I think doesn't quite fit.

Oh, it's gotta be that Lives in the Open Category.

I don't want to harsh anyone buzz, and there's some good work, but I wonder about the whole judging process.

And the category titles aren't what they were when I made my submissions.

Bingo. It's a little girl on a swing. It's nice, but it really doesn't make you think or tell a story or inspire awe.

And yes, the theme of the categories did seem to have a shift in ideas.
