Yet another contest where the number of entrants is more than double the number of voters.
Clearly it is easier to enter than vote. Just loading that many photos can be a drag on anything other than the fastest connections and I took a long time scanning through them all.
Perhaps it is time to consider some kind of preliminary filtering of entries, at least for these really big competitions. I can't think of a fair way to do that though.

Looks like we've got some winners, and a staff tiebreaker was needed for 3rd place. I've now posted the 3 winners in the winners' showcase forum. Congrats guys - some great photos here!
