• Final notes:
  Judging this contest was so unbelievably hard, you have no idea! I went through it 4 times before I finally narrowed it down to 14 entries! lol, thank you all so much for the amazing entries and if you didn't win, please do not take any offense. I had enough points to add 1 honorable mention and that's it. But this contest was definitelly well worth the 2030 points I spent on it! Thank you all so much for entering and congratulations to the winners!

• To judge this contest, you need to have at least as many finalists as you have rewards. You have 4 awards but only 3 finalists.

  These are some great pictures. Such a shame to make them dark, but I think I've chosen one.
  
  Some of these look like they were taken in the rain forests in Washington State. Are these your photos? Such a beautiful place.
