I'm glad someone from our group and a Filipina made it to the top 10. I'm so proud of you @lebron2016.
At first I thought (although I used to join your contest) that I can never be one of the winners because I only get very few votes in my entries.
But I think I'm wrong and definitely have equal chance to to win with the other contenders.
Now for my bet, I choose number one photo. Although I like @lebron2016 entry, yet I find the first one supreme over the others. I can see in that picture, joy, happiness, simplicity, and unity.
Yeah @lebron2016 did a great job.
I do not look at the votes actually, it is just my personal opinion. A mix between photography concepts and my personal feeling
Glad to know that. Because it would not be fair if the winners will just be selected by the number of votes, newbies won't have equal footing with those who are here many months back.
I really appreciate your criteria and will continue to participate in your contests...
More power!
