Top Pics

Here are the four photos that made it to the finals:

None of them won when put against the other 10 people in the challenge, but I had a great time and can't wait for next year's challenges to start! (October 1st)

Voting is now closed

Thank you SO much to everyone who voted. You're welcome to look through these still, but the votes have been tallied, and I've sent the top 4 pictures in each category on to Heidi.

Next up: narrowing it down to the top ONE in each category. And then we go up against everyone else's top picture.

The nerves! The excitement!!
