Foo - Foo Foto VOTE--February

February is over and it's time to vote!

We can't have a regular poll because there are too many entries for forum's poll to handle (which I think is very cool).

In no particular order name your three favorites in the responses or PM me if you don't want your vote to be public.
The vote will last one week. Winners revealed Saturday 7 March 2009.
Most votes = Month's Winner
Second and third most votes = Honorable Mentions

The submissions are wonderful, good luck everyone.

Note: I invited SingingSabre (and aintnoflatlanda) to revote if they wish because they voted before I had finished adding all the images.

so many really nice photos makes it hard to actually pick 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 favorites

kila….because he always captures some wonderful images

lodi….because of his creativeness and the uniqueness of the capture

and since I can’t pick between them….cranky old dude and roadrasher (I’ll let whoever is counting the votes pick between those two for me)

.....and finally if someone's photo doesn't get any votes I vote three times for that one

But really there were others I liked as much. Court and Lodi's submissions are right there IMO. Very hard to chose 3.

Thanks, It's hard to pick just one so I will stay with my first choice.

My vote is still for: bigbossman
Still not easy, all are very good.

JoesInBoston - great shot - love the snow on the bill.

AllenG - the only shot showing that warm winter light I love.

bigbossman - Great Bay Area shot. For 10 years this was what my commute looked like, driving past rolling hills with scattered oaks; and in winter it looked amazing in the morning fog.

February is over and it's time to vote!

if I missed anyone please let me know

Allen, I think you missed ilikebikes's entry.

Thanks for the great idea AllenG. This should be a really cool thing to keep doing. :)

Great pics, everyone! I've enjoyed looking at all of them, multiple times.

For me I voted based on... well the picture, I don't have snow where I come from so I voted keeping in mind that winter is different everywhere around the world and there still is beauty to be found in the snow or without it.
