I am going to do this PPWG just a bit differently this week. I am going to begin with Best of Theme because it is the only undisputed photograph in this event. Best of Theme is picked by the winning photographer that picked the theme: Pascale Fernandez - "The full team is there to play!!!! "0-20" by Brian Crossland.

20-0 by Brian Crossland |
Normally our first place winner is honored by putting their photo on the event image. This week in an effort to not upset any of those tied for first we will put Best of Theme in that position. And the right to choose the event after BLACK AND WHITE is also suppose to go to the first place winner of SPORT but the admins for Picture Picks will pick it instead. The two photographers tied for first can message us their suggestion and we will choose.

Low Tide at Sunrise and Canoeing by Eagle Finegan had tied for first in the votes but it also was a previous 1st place winner of The Things I love and cannot win again. It is a great photograph, Eagle.

There were only 20 photographs posted for this event and eight of those are here honored. My questions to the members of Picture Picks, photographers and voters alike, are: 1)Is this truly about becoming better photographers or just about winning and popularity? 2)And should we change the event rules so only those that post a photograph are eligible to vote.
