The polls are closed, the votes are in, and here are the winners—as chosen by you, the readers.

The response went far beyond my expectations. Over 100 people chimed in with their picks, and Claudia had to create a spreadsheet to keep track of them all! My heartfelt thanks to all of you who voiced your opinions. I really appreciate your taking the time to help me make these difficult choices. (Click here to see all 46 original nominees.)

Although I reserved the right to override theses votes, in the end I decided that the collective wisdom was greater than mine, especially with so many people chiming in. Here’s a list of the ten images which received the most picks, and the number of votes they each received:

  1. Image #3, Winter sunrise from Tunnel View, 69 votes
  2. Image #11, Redbud reflection II, 64 votes
  3. Image #13, Horsetail Fall by moonlight, 64 votes
