Wow, nice photos.
#1, very creative!

#4, looks like the cute little BRG MC is perched for an attack.

#7 IMHO is brilliant and is an inside joke only for us Mini folks.

#9 89AKurt, is that you sticking another Prescott sunset in here to show us what real sunsets are all about?

#13 has to have the most flowers of all the photos and a nice composition. Funny seeing all the yellow flowers in the hood scoop too. Just wish the white balance was adjusted, at least by my eyes.

Well done and good luck to everyone!

Got to say I don't care for the edges of the run away favorite, but the colors are nice. Liked mine, and voted for it... so I won't say which it is.

Lots of nice shots!

Gee, if I knew sunset shots were allowed I woulda! I suggest to the photographer to join me on the sunset thread:

I voted for #13. Hope the scoop was cleared out before driving away!

#12 was my fav! Wish I had time to enter something. Next time.

Hard choice and they all are great!

Very cool of Octane Guy to give a prize again!

#11 for me! Use of depth-of-field is interesting. Interplay between white elements (flowers and MINI headlights/reflection) is nice w/ the yellow making things pop. Canted camera angle adds the last special nice touch. The pic is subtle which I'm very into.

Ah, back in the minority this month! Feels like home!

I voted for the one that reminded me of a story from my childhood -- Thumbelina, to be exact.

Wow, I think this is the most votes I've recv'd on one of my submissions! Does my shot have what it takes to make it to the front page of NAM?

A lot of great shots here!!! Can't wait until next month's topic!

I like #8!

Very innovative use of the amazingly versatile MINI-FINI Cup-Link in photo #8! I do like the splashes of color on the blue background though too. Thanks to OctaneGuy for sponsoring a fun event!

For me, #5 captured the theme of this month's contest.
But all the pictures were top notch!
