The photos where judged without any names associated to them, here is the gallery of all the entries (the same one the judges used to vote for their favorites): WPGphoto contest #3 entries The entries are in the order they where received. You can see each entries # when viewing the larger image. The judges where asked to pick their top 6 favorites. The top 6 of each judge where given points based on their place: 1st place for each judge was awarded 6pts, 5pts for a 2dn, 3pts for a 3rd choice and so on down the ladder to 1pt for each judges 6th choice. You often hear that contests are hard to judge and in this case it was very true as there where two entries tied for 2nd and three tied for 3rd place. The winners are:  First place - 27 pts: Chris G - photo #9  Second place - 16 pts (tie) Richard M - photo #6  Second place - 16 pts (tie) Dave L - photo #7  Third place - 10 pts(tie) James A - photo #4  Third place - 10 pts (tie) Char H - photo #11  Third place - 10 pts (tie) Kelly S - photo #12 Congratulations to all the participants, there where several people that where right behind the top images so I'm really looking forward to another tight competition in the next WPGphoto contest.
