Very difficult decision due to the excellent quality that the photographers who entered have provided but I have voted.

 

[MRB1863]

They are all nice!

Can I just say that I hate these photo contests?

Not the pictures themselves, I love those.

Rather, it's the fact that time and time again I see great photos of places I'd love to visit BUT THERE'S NO INFO ON WHERE THE HECK IT IS.

Is there some, like, rule or something that demands this be kept a mystery?

Or is it just that all the cool kids recognize all the scenes and I'm the only one who often doesn't recognize them. Maybe everyone is now laughing at the poor slob who knows so little. If so, fine. But honestly, aside from all the myriad Gettysburg shots, a lot of them could be from100 places, from Mississippi to Virginia and anyplace in between.

You may look in the accepting photos thread for more descriptions of where the photos are taken. I try to remember to post the link, but I'm only human.

Perhaps if someone thinks they can do a better job they could step up to run the contest.

@RochesterBill you May find descriptions here https://civilwartalk.com/threads/august-2018-potm-accepting-entries.147658/

Some people put a description, some don't. It is not required. Please check your complaints at the door.

I just appreciate the contest for what it is.....and I think it is pretty special.

 

[redbob]

This is the toughest month yet.

Deed is done

 

[1867crete]

As always great pictures and thank you for all who submitted entries and @ami for putting the consent on enjoyed them very much!

 

[3rd North Carolina]

too many that look good to pick just one

 

[Waterloo50]

All excellent, as usual.

 

[JerseyBart]

I hath voted.

 

[donna]

Voted. Nice photos.

 

[MaryDee]

So many photos, all excellent! For me, though, this time, one photo just grabbed my heart. I didn't even need to know where it is (although it grabbed even harder when I looked it up). So, for a change, no coin flips this month, and a purely emotional decision.

 

[dlavin]

Good photos but one stands out for evoking great emotion

 

[Buckeye Bill]

I voted for #19.....

Absolutely breathtaking!!!

Bill

 

[rebed19th]

#11, a creepy eerie feeling from this photo that fits the location on the marker

 

[rebed19th]

Sorry, I meant # 12

I'm not sure if we voted for the same photo, @MaryDee and @dlavin, but I had a similar reaction. My compliments to all of the photographers and especially to the one who shot the photo I voted for. This is one of the few times I've managed to vote without having to review the pictures at least three times.
