I can't enter because I am one of the judges.
I got the picture of the power lines in Central Illinois. It was a very lucky shot as it was taken from the car window. I wasn't driving but we were going about 70 at the time. I focused and put my camera in burst mode. Burst mode comes in handy. It works for capturing sporting events and some times in low light situations, or when taking photos from a moving car.

Rich ... your nice picture of the power lines in Central Illinois. Thanks for letting us know about this photo contest. Mike at Tucson Mortgage is a very good photographer and should be involved in this. Best wishes.
Rich...
Sometimes a shot just happens, and sometimes it takes hours to set it up! But a good photo is a good photo regardless! Thanks for the info!
I have my camera with me at all times - who knows - being in Metro Detroit - I may find just the right one - at least I will have a different eye for what's around me.
Rich - Will be working on this one for sure. Just saw Teresas's post. Wish me luck! I never leave home with out it! My camera that is.....
I take so many pics which end up nowhere but my own photo arhives. I should make an effort to send one in to this contest. Thanks for bringing it to the attention of those of us who missed it.
Hi Rich... with all the Speechless Sunday and Wordless Wednesday folks here in the Rain, I have to believe that we have a potential winner in our midst!
I better take my camera with me today! I hope all is well in your world!
