Hi Kathy, this picture is excellent. It is in my opinion one of the top 2 in the purple contest. It has great flow,interest,amount of purple is perfect. It is far better than any of the top three. A top picture has to be one that you can`t walk by and not look at it. This is one of those. I'm not just talking as i have judged in a photo club years back and was one of the top photographers for years. Keep up the good work. I love this photo. I hope the judging improves as people don't have any idea what is best.

I would like to have your vote for each of them because if I can get 250 votes or more for each I will be entered in the final count for this contest. Should I go on to win, I could have my photograph appear on television and in magazines! Just copy each URL, one at a time, and connect to it in your URL line, usually at the top of your screen, and vote! Please! Please! Please!
