Final Poll: Challenge #37: "That Solitary Tree"- Ended

Hello everyone, : )

Thank you for your votes that determined the photos that enter the Final Poll for Challenge #37: “That Solitary Tree”.

Eight/8 photos that got themselves a vote ratio above 10% from the 3-part poll enter the Final Poll.

These 8 photos and their photographers are randomly listed and not by the votes they got in the previous part. I wrote the numbers on small papers and drew them out of a glass to create this randomized 8-photo list.

Thank you for your kind participation! :D

Thank you all and each for your enthusiastic and most colourful contributions to this challenge which made the challenge a challenge in itself! :D

Our winning photo is "Frosty Dawn" by Birma as was determined by your votes in the Final Poll. : )


Congratulations Birma, it's a very beautiful shot that probably got you cold and thinking why you were there at such an early moment but we certainly gained a great shot out of your brave outing. :D


See you all in other challenges!

Thank you so much to everybody who voted for my pictures - I'm very honoured :D . There were so many great tree pictures.

Biggest thanks go to Yildiz who must have needed to put a lot of time in to sorting out all of the voting.

You're welcome, Birma. : )

I'm happy that the voting was executed in a very democratic fashion by each member that participated.

You're right that there were so many spectacular tree shots. :D

Thanks again everyone!
