YIIIIPPPEEEE! I'M A FINALIST!

“I got a call from Fed-ex yesterday and they were trying to deliver a package to my old address. I'm expecting my wedding video any day and so I thought our video lady used our old address and not our new one. So I had fed-ex ship the package to my work. The packages just arrived and I couldn't figure out why there were two and why they were coming form Minnesota.

Well I opened them up and TWO of my photos have been choosen as FINALISTS for the NATIONAL PARKS PASS contest!!!!!!

I can't believe it! I'm so excited I just had to tell someone! I've been contemplating whether or not to start selling my photos at local art shows but I've been afraid that no one would like them or buy them. I guess I need to have more confidence in myself now!”

“Way to go! :D”

“Hey, that's great news!!”

“That's great. Congrats...”

“Incredible.. fantastic.. :).. I know u have GOT to be excited.. hehe.. I am.. just knowing you are in the running!”

“Sweet, dude!! Winning those would be a nice score!”

“that's awesome, i love national parks.”

“Nice job, reptiles! How's about posting a link to the pictures?”

“WTF? You put your wedding photos in the National Park Pass contest????




j/k ;-) Congrats and good luck!”

“Kewl Beans!”

“Chili, No, I'm still waiting on the wedding video. But, I did get married in Zion National Park :).

Here's the links, I hope they work.

This one is of La Verkin Creek in the Kolob section of Zion National Park in early October.

Thanks for the comments everyone!”

“Nice pics, I especially like the first one.”

“OH SURE! It's easy for you "left coast" folks to make nice pictures when you have a full palette of colors to work with!!! Us folks on the right coast only get green, brown, and blue (white in the winter)!

Seriously, awesome shots, I like the Kolob section shot the best!”

“La Verkin Creek

North Creek”

“From an ol' photo editor, way to go Reptiles. I, too, really like the Kolob-La Verkin Creek pic best of the two. Good luck and good light to you.”

“Hey rep! way to go! You're a finalist. As you should be! Great shots! Good luck!”

“Really nice shots. Good luck!”

“Liked it so much that it'll be my desktop background for awhile (The first one)”

“Oh, I thought lizs was going for the Miss Iowa title again....”

“Nice Job dude, that is huge!”

“Cool beans, good luck!”

“Kewl! Thanks for sharing!”

“thought I already posted here, but nooooo, it was the other thread. Nice pictures. I love the first one.”

“Beautiful shots man, of course you had to come to my state to shoot them....

Congrats, hope you go on to win the NP pass contest.”

“lol... well, I took a year off Nige... phhhht!!! LOL!

Congrats, reptiles. Always good stuff. ;-)”
