Hi, Everyone :-)

The photos have been judged and here are the results. I do have the judges forms/comments for each photo, so you may want to look at them before deciding which photos to move on to district, etc. Remember, the deadline for district is not until Feb. 4th, so if you choose to take new photos and enter those you may. Otherwise, just let Willie know you want your photos to move on.
