1st place: $50 gift certificate
The winner of this contest may choose a gift certificate to one of the companies listed above. This should give the winner a nice choice of where to use their gift certificate.

I very rarely agree with the voting results but today I am delighted to see the winning photos are all my choice too! Bravo and well done to the winners!!

 

[Joshua]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...... I have never ever won anything else, it´s probably my first win in my life I can remember. Thanks to all voters, thanks to all competitors, thanks to Brad, thanks to my family and thanks to the God (of chams to be so imaginative). I´ll do my best to keep chams as in paradise, getting to know them better and take some more interesting pictures in future.

I´ll keep going

The second I saw Joshua's pic I thought "Damn! How can you compete with something that friggin cute?!" hah! Congrats

 

[Brad]

Congrats Joshua

If anyone has any suggestions for improvement please post in the contest forum or send me a pm. I plan to make some changes for the new year, so now would be a great time to discuss ideas and suggestions.
