[Anesthetist]

I had too many days of poly cotton blends to participate but you guys and gals are killing it. This has been a great thread to catch up on [emoji119][emoji119][emoji119]

Edited to add that it is so good to see a lot of people’s families. No surprise that our significant others, kids, and pets are all a good looking group!

Nothing too complex… it was a while since we’d had a competition with prizes. I had some ideas knocking around and asked Jeff to help refine them with me. We wanted something a bit more personal that everyone could get into and something that would showcase forum members and not just the clothes.

As is often the case the good folks around here took a simple idea and ran with it, making it something bigger and better the was originally conceived.

Ihsh-299 workshirt. Was at Yosemite Valley for sunrise this morning and it was -9c. My upper body was warm but my feet were frozen after waiting for the sun for an hour.

@Noahf  Man, that's so beautiful! Was Bridalveil Fall frozen?

[Noahf]

No it was flowing. There was a lil wind soo it appeared to be almost “misty” half way down from where we were. Was a good morning

True, thanks @neph93 and @jordanscollected for putting this together!

[neph93]

After quite a bit of deliberation and discussion @Giles @Alex @jordanscollected and myself have arrived at a conclusion.

The awards for best pic and best portfolio were especially difficult and there were a number of contenders for each.

Here is our final decision:

1. Best portfolio - @weftyarn

True to the theme, varied original content and motifs, all round excellent effort

2. Best individual pic - @mitchellvilla

For this insanely cool shot:

3. Funniest pic - @Kasi

For this:

Because we’re scared what might happen if we don’t give him something [emoji38]

Congratulations gents!

Thanks to everyone who took part. This was mostly about getting to know each other a little better, and that has been achieved by all you good folks in quite some style. This is a wonderful thread for the ages.

[Kasi]

Thanks everyone….  It was fun.
