Theme: Light - Contest Winners

[Harold Davis]

I had to seek some advice this week. Havent had a tougher decision yet!! There were lots of quality creations. I wish I could make more winners, but there can only be one. Here goes:

1st Place - Indranil Sircar with Lanterns

2nd Place - Cheryl Schlecta with Kaleidoscope Lattice

3rd Place - Mirenchu Fernandez with Seeking the Light

4th Place - Cindy Cone with Swan Spotlight

5th Place - Ramesh Adkoli with Light Bubbles

I have to give some Honorable Mentions here because I loved these so much. First of all to Cheryl Schlecta cause she had several I liked a lot. Christopher Miller had a couple too!! Kerry Perkins' Fresnel Lens was super. Indranil had another - Lotus Temple that I loved. Christopher Miller had two fantastic pieces!!!

I said this was tough. NOT KIDDING! I had four browsers open at the same time looking at different ones. You guys are tough! I'm glad I'm getting a couple weeks off. Have fun folks!! That's what it's all about!!!
