    Great photo to start out with. Congrads to dragonfly. Wish I had the nerve to get a pic like this. Nice going. And JS I don't thing you and Paul should rule yourselves out. You two have to many great images to be passed up on this little honor.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks OT, but I myself don't feel it's fair to do my own photos, if SW wants he can.

    I hope you'll consider other sports than biking and auto racing.

    Moderators and employees don't get to have Featured Photos. Got to keep it clean and make sure there's no question about why and how photos get chosen. That's the way it's been since we started doing Featured Photos. And I think that's how it should be done. I can't play, either.

    Of course !
    I can't see any bikes or cars in our first featured photo

    I'm going to try hard not to be biased. If I just don't understand the sport (baseball) or don't find it interesting there's no reason why it can't be a good photo. I have John to keep me honest !

    Scroll down to the Sports Forum and post your sports pictures !

    You're a good man, Paul. I agree---I'm not altogether crazy about lacrosse, basketball, racing, or some of those things, but I do appreciate a good photo.
