After seeing this mentioned by Alpha8207 and ImRandy in another thread, I thought it was a good idea.

What photos ALMOST made the grade for you to enter into the photo contest that is going right now, but didn't for one reason or another? I know I looked through a few of mine before deciding on the one I picked. Let's see your "almost" photos here. Even if you didn't enter, let's see the ones you think you might have.

I had a "few" But these two were from the same weekend:

I also really liked this one, but it was from a couple of months ago and I wasn't sure about it qualifying for the "Taken within the last month or so" Rule.

I really like the whole "Time Limit" aspect! It makes me go out and try to find something different that I haven't had laying around for ages!

These were taken at the same time as the "Little Blue Heron" picture that I put in the contest.

I was walking my dog up the street about two weeks ago, when I saw the little creek crowded with some great birds. I only have a point and shoot little Kodak, but I'm happy I had a chance to take some snapshots.

I was just overly excited that I took this photo of a male cardinal. The composition isn't great.

If I didn't have the photo I entered, these would have been considerations. The third one is my favorite of these three.
