As usual, the quaility of entries was outstanding. There seems to be a higher level of overall screenshot quality as each month progresses. Good luck to the 8 finalists and if you didn't make it, hang in there, August's Comp is just around the corner.

I'm guessing because for a start, it was actually running for more of August than it was July, and if the next one is the August contest, then we will barely have time for a September contest without running into October! Wink

because since this contest seems to be ending mid-August, the next one will start beginning of September, thus getting the monthly comp back on track1

There's only one clear winner in my mind! But, then again, since I didn't get selected as a finalist, that theory got shot full of holes! Grin

Therefore my vote goes to the one truly spectacular shot of the finalist bunch!

C'ya all next contest!

My vote has been cast... Wink

however... I'm not entirely happy with the choosen eight ???... I thought the theme was supposed to be "Speed"... there where entries put forward which really did capture the essence of speed and did not get choosen... the choosen eight are dissapointing, to the set theme, to say the least...
