In a very tight race to get out of the final, the first place winner is photo #1, the aquarium shot. Taking second place is photo #7, the scenic bridge. Earning the third most votes of the day is photo # 3, the glowing greenish ball. FIrst and second place are exempt from the final tomorrow while third place will start the final with an extra 15 points. Contradulations to these three winners and to everyone that entered. It was a very tough competition with a lot of great entries! Well done everyone!
