I don't think it needs ANY fixing! #7522496Christine Lobsinger May 15, 2009
Would you enter this one again... with the EP on it, or do another fresh one?Marisol Pastor May 15, 2009
I would give it a try. Nikki Mcdonald reentered a Finalist and came out with a 2nd place winner ... check it outhttp://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/big.php?photoID=7136648&catID=&style=&rowNumber=14&memberID=192357 #7523058

Thanks Marisol, I will...Lorna Shutter May 30, 2009
I just love this image, Christine! It's a wonderful capture of this beautiful lake! It looks so calm and serene! Love the reflections and the peaceful feeling I get when I look at it! Excellent work! Congrats on the EP! :) #7580434Christine Lobsinger May 30, 2009
OMG... I was working on this one tonight- so I could re-enter in the Landsc/Nature or change to the MT-Passion for the contest tonight...and you commented here...
Thanks for looking here - I appreciate it!

Lorna Shutter May 30, 2009
Unfortunately, I'm not the right person to ask since I've never tried re-entering any of my work. Do you really lose all your comments and awards? If so, I probably would make small changes to it and then re-enter it into the MT category. I love this image, but the way the judges have been awarding lately, you never know which way it will go! Do what you feel is best! Sorry I'm not much help! :) #7580507Lorna Shutter May 30, 2009
Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. If you make small changes and re-enter the image into the MT category, will you lose your comments and awards? If so, scrap what I just said. LOL! :) #7580545Christine Lobsinger May 30, 2009
What I mean to say is if I just leave this image alone...and re-enter into the contest as is, I get to keep all the nice comments on the shot! MY EP would of -course stay on too whether or not it moves up to a finalists' badge.... I don't loose the EP.I would not have the nice comments/EP on it if I re-entered a changed (slightly-changed) shot of this same image, thats all...

Lorna Shutter May 30, 2009
Hmmm ... then just re-enter it as is 'cause it sounds to me like you don't want to lose all the nice comments or your EP! Ha! Ha! What have you got to lose? :) #7580602Christine Lobsinger May 30, 2009
I love this shot... so I am leaving it as is and trying for the MT... it is my passion!Lori Carlson June 02, 2009
This shot makes me happy! Lovely feel!! and light!! =) #7591285Christine Lobsinger June 02, 2009
