The poll results can be seen above. Thank you to everyone who submitted an image and to the members who took a few minutes to vote for their favorites.

Congratulations to Dan and Clive, two wonderful images.
Just a few words about my baseball image. The baseballs belonged to my sister's son who died a few years ago. While she has given away the bulk of his
baseball memorabilia, she still has these few baseballs from his collection. She was so pleased with this picture and I am honored to have it chosen as IOW.
Thank you.

Lovely baseball photo Helen! The hard contrast adds to the mystique as do the signatures. These are not just baseballs...they have a story. 

Thanks to those who voted for my house finch photo and congrats to Dan. And to all who submitted photos last week.

First and foremost congratulations to Helen, Dan and Clive for taking out 1st, 2nd and 3rd in this weeks popular vote poll. Helen, your image of the baseballs was extraordinary and what a great story you related about them. You achieved a perfect balance between light and shadow on the baseballs and turned it from a picture to a masterpiece! Dan and Clive, your images were magnificent as well and well deserving of a place in the poll. And speaking of the poll, it was wonderful to see such a large number of entries and votes. Thank you to everyone who took time to contribute to their galleries and/or vote in the poll this week and lastly, a big THANK YOU to Helen for taking the time to set the poll up and display all of the images which would have been quite a task this week!

Thank you everyone for participating in this week's Poll vote. Helen your IOW, and the story behind it, is just stupendous. Clive, your Finch portrait is beautiful.

Thanks for organising this one Helen, and congratulations for a well deserved winning image; particularly now we know the story behind it, it makes it even more special. And the fact that 11 out of 18 people put it in their top three is a real accolade. Congratulations too to everyone else that someone voted for. We are all winners!
