I have posted a poll to run over the next two weeks to select your favourite photo for 2007. I have allowed multiple selections to make it more interesting to vote for your favourite 3 photos.

I would also like to thank all those who have participated in last years challenges and look forward to more contests in 2008

[Colonel]

Lets see if we can get as many members voting on this poll

[Colonel]

No clear cut winner yet so lets keep the votes coming

[Stourbridge Lion]

WOW, now I know what it feels like to be a judge in a dog show. You have already picked the top dog in each catagory now pick the best of the best out of that based on what?

Between this poll and the All time modelling challenge winners (http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?t=89272) poll it will be interesting to see what folks pick in the end as top dog in both. They are all winner to me but I picked a few that I thought stand out more than the others for various reasons.

So, what happens if we end up with a 3-Way or 4-Way Tie since it's still that close of a horse race.
