Thank you to @quinneaker for Guest Judging this week's Contest!
and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that participated!
========================================
"I was blown away by over 200 entries! I really enjoyed being guest judge for this contest as it is one of my favorite on Steemit and through this experience I got to know the community much better and understand how this contest works. I was really impressed by how many talented photographers there are on Steemit and how many interesting photos from all over the world are entered into this contest every week!"
It was an honor to be the guest judge for this weeks contest.
This is a truly legendary contest, one of which I have entered many times my self. In fact I entered some nice photos again this week but of course declined placement or mention.
I will continue to enter and now I know the depth of this contest much more so than before as well as the hundreds of photographers that are a part of this community.
I would like to SAY for the RECORD that it is VERY sad and DISHONORABLE that this contest gets over 200 entries PER WEEK and yet this post is only getting less that 50 up votes.
That is selfish and inconsiderate. You wouldn't even be able to ENTER this contest at all if it were not existing and for @daveks hosting it each week.
So EVERYONE READING THIS you BETTER VOTE and support the contest.
Thanks @quinneaker! I appreciate the honorable mention, but honestly I am way more grateful for your constant reminders and unwavering example of true values & consideration.
Thanks again for adding that "One of a Kind" @quinneaker flavour to this week's contest! It was a lot of fun interacting throughout the week!
Hope to have you judge again sometime in the future!
Great entries!! Thank you @daveks for hosting - it's really fun to share our lives through photos and I appreciate the outlet you provide. The opportunity to "win" adds a little more fun to it as well - thank you to @papa-pepper for sponsoring and adding the extra incentive to potentially get a bit of our fave crypto as well. Thanks to @quinneaker for judging this week!
I am honored to receive an honorable mention because these entries are absolutely wonderful! First, second, and third are well deserving, and i bet it was a tough decision on where to place @trulafountaine as well - that is potentially my favorite one here!
Congrats to @jasonrussell, that's definitely an epic shot! @kuenok is also amazing, not only underwater but striking lighting as well, and such a graceful subject. Really very remarkable. @eyegasm I enjoy your work, this is extremely fitting for ACTION! Between the almost horizontal surfer & the chopped up water, I'm really feeling the motion!
@loveon I'm partial to your entry and am so glad to see it here! Thanks for capturing and sharing just another day at the @gardenofeden office - @fmatinata even has on a Steemit tie so you know we're in professional mode :)
We have to consider that Steemit has for now only roughly less than 400k users (i did not check the latest info). But thanks for the support it's truly appreciated !
Thanks for the mention I do feel honoured indeed. All great photos were chosen and many great ones not. This was a fun contest with so many great entries. Good job everyone especially @quinneaker. You had some tough choices to make here. Glad I was one of them. :)
It definitely does. I constantly open the app and browse through articles. I actually just posted a new blog. I also plan on putting more photography adventures here soon as well. I love it here. :)
I'm very honored to be selected amongst such amazing talents, theres really not enough thank yous for @daveks and @papa-pepper for hosting it each week. Thank you @quinneaker for choosing out of hundreds of amazing entries and for the great vibe you continue to give to this community!!
Very beautiful entries! :) Really worth looking through and following this challenges. - Maybe I should participate at one point?!... :)

Congrats to the winners and the mentioned. Wonderful photos indeed! Well done @daveks and @quinneaker, and thanks for the interaction, I was much pleased. Cheers!
Congratulations! I am waiting for the next one. To this one I just could sent a photograph because I am short of time till next July but I'll keep on trying :)
So many amazing entries and wonderful wins here! Am especially awed by @kuenok's 'stillness' in action! Congrats to all winners, and Thank you again to @daveks, @papa-pepper and guest judge, @quinneaker!
Had some problems following too many of the posts due to recent difficulties of the site but keeping at it as much as I can! I think it's amazing also to have the guest judge take personal interest and drop by - like I mentioned, it feels like you bumped into a personality on the street! Lol.. I didn't win but it was a great experience ~ Thank you!! :)
