June 25, 2009 8:00 PM	nedell	reflections are not always upside down; thats why the other person said the flag was backwards.

June 23, 2009 6:30 PM	jujubean	Hey there! I already voted for this one. You are in top three! Hopefully you can get to top.
June 23, 2009 6:19 PM	chrisgayle53	Hi Sherry, I will be voting for this wonderful photo of yours. I have been reading other people's comments in other comps,and agree that I will never ask family or friends to vote - dont have that many who would be interested. I simply rely on bringing other Competico members' attention to my photos, as must of us do, and rely on their votes. I dont see anything wrong with that - what do you think? I am interested in your opinion on this too. Good Luck Sherry & also voting for your beautiful Dan

June 21, 2009 9:41 AM	angelwarda	great work sherry!
June 21, 2009 12:39 AM	kodysmile	mocking the system. Proved my point.
June 21, 2009 12:38 AM	kodysmile	It's amazing to me that those are ahead of you. RyanF on my comment page JUST DOESN'T get my point! I copied and pasted "PLEASE VOTE FOR ME" because the people who win do that. I am simply doing it to show the absurdity of this voting system. An experiment, if you will! I went from 13th to 11th. I think I proved my point!!! My entry doesn't stand a chance due to my refusal to use an address book.
June 20, 2009 7:20 PM	chrisgayle53	Hi again Sherry. Mothers Day in Australia is in May, and as I mentioned Fathers Day in September. I often wondered when these occasions were in different parts of the World - nice if they were all on the same days :)
June 20, 2009 8:51 AM	chrisgayle53	Hey Sherry, Thanks for your comment. Fathers Day in Australia is in September. Strange isnt it. Happy Fathers Day for and any dad in your life! Great luck to you in the comp. Chris:)
June 20, 2009 7:49 AM	kazads	Great job here - I am Aussie but you have to appreciate a good photo regardless of the subject ;) I will be back to vote. Karen
June 19, 2009 7:45 PM	kodysmile	well how the hell did that happen??? One wasn't even in the top 10???
June 17, 2009 12:55 PM	Olitto	Hi Sherry....great work here. Voting now:)
June 16, 2009 9:58 PM	Janese	Being new to this site, I don't know much about the politics...and to be perfectly honest, I don't really care. I vote for the best photo (in my opinion)! This one is definitely getting a vote from me! It's spectacular, and it's between you and one other, as far as I'm concerned! Good luck...you should be really proud of this one!
June 16, 2009 2:43 AM	kodysmile	Yep, he/she is greedy as hell. Just pick a damn category! From past wins, you can see that he/she wins everytime (or just about) they enter a contest. Come out of nowhere and win. LARGE address book is putting it mildly on that one.
June 14, 2009 2:35 PM	USMarine	Getting a vote from this Marine, My mom (Debbie) sent me to vote on this and I am glad she did! Good luck on this one too ~ Michael
June 13, 2009 9:40 PM	CreativeK	I love your photo If you get time can you check out my photo "LOST IN THE MOMENT WITH YOU" under best family photo? thank you Kelsey Marziale
June 12, 2009 3:45 PM	jenni8170	Hang in there, sherry. 14 more to go. ;)

June 7, 2009 10:08 PM	buster09	voted froom kentucky
June 7, 2009 9:21 PM	SchroederBasenji	I love this photo. What is brought to mind is the two very separate and distinctive image of our Country. The Flag clear in all her glory representing the clear freedom shared by us all ~ and the more "murky" image of the America fewer of us see. The stuggles with education, poverty, and the drugs available so freely on our streets. Truly a Glorious picture.

June 7, 2009 8:48 PM	dallashater	This one is amazing, deserves a vote.

June 6, 2009 11:08 AM	Tedvaldo	Hi Sherry, Thankyou for your nice comments. If you like and could vote for my pink flower, I would really appreciate it. Good Luck with this pic. I have just voted. Ted
June 6, 2009 8:48 AM	jujubean	Thanks,buddy! Just a little longer,I hope! Is last call still 48 hours?
June 6, 2009 1:50 AM	kodysmile	I am sorry to see an average photo is in 1st place due to an address book. People who do that do not care if the best wins, only if theirs wins. Why don't they just get a dollar from everyone of their biased friends who are voting and they can have the cash, and leave the competition to those who want to compete fairly and may the best "man" win. Not, may the photo that has the most BIASED voters win. Unbelievable.
June 5, 2009 6:20 PM	howmany2	love it. so orijenal. Voting ;)
June 5, 2009 11:09 AM	GothicTales	Sherry (stray lady) sent me voted#1 wishing you luck

June 4, 2009 11:02 PM	nikitagrey	I Sherry, no you don't know me, but we have a friend in common and when she asked me to vote I was not surprised it was for someone who needs money for animals....she is our animal lady (the stray lady) I am here for one and only one vote your....I hope it helps....GL
June 4, 2009 10:44 PM	lauraR	Sherry, all I can say, is I am sick of seeing fabulous photo's go in rank do to large address books, this is a shame!!!!!We still have time to get it up...you know my vote is with you...Laura
June 4, 2009 3:32 AM	marone76	This is excellent entry of you. I will be back to vote when it's gone to last call. Flo
June 3, 2009 11:35 PM	nedell	that white photo was in first bearly this afternoon. I left a message voicing my 'negative' opinion on it being in first. I guess they only want positive comments as you will see if you check the reply to your comment.
June 3, 2009 10:53 PM	jenni8170	Sherry, saw your comment on the white thing. She does that in all her competitions. Somehow her LARGE address pushes her up in the rankings in all of them.
June 3, 2009 10:51 PM	jenni8170	Thanks Sherry! ;) I'll be back in last call. ~ jenni
June 3, 2009 12:46 PM	lauraR	Sherry, OMG, I saw your photos on redbubble, I have to figure out how redbubble works,I just went to yours, you really are a fabulous photographer, did you go to school or are you self taught your photos there are amazing...you must get have a fit over some of the crap that wins here on competico (this is a photo competition????)when I have time I will go back to enjoy them....Laura

June 1, 2009 1:29 AM	frogster	Goood one Sherry
May 31, 2009 11:32 PM	twallace010	Awesome Sherry. I love the enhancements. I've been MIA for a while both here and on RB. I have been so busy with the kids I haven't had much time for anything else. I thought I'd enter a photo just for kicks but soon realized it's the same 'ole same 'ole around here. Popularity contest :0)
May 31, 2009 11:18 PM	lauraR	Sherry, I couldn't agree with you more!!!!!Remember my photo(I can sleep any where) the little girl, in a dog bes=d and the dog watching over her,it started in 2nd and ended in 2nd and was in 2nd in last call to vote and was in 2nd when competico removed them, that photo never even placed!!!!!!I think I you should have my email so we can talk off competico,I have a few others maybe we can all figure this out?????
May 31, 2009 10:20 PM	lauraR	Sherry, I asked competico,to take my photos off, I asked that they give an account on how votes were really calculated, I asked serveral other questions, did some cussing, got all upset with them, they never replied, they never took my photos off and they never answered my questios, Hows that!!!!I still love this photo (I already voted for it) I am happy to see it climbing, lets keep it going....will talk later...Laura

May 27, 2009 11:12 PM	jenni8170	Thanks Sherry for the nice comment too! I don't know how to contact you on anything else but this way, but what do you think (I will send Chris a mssg too) about rallying behind Laura's puppy in cutest baby in the competion to help her place. Knowing her she would use the money for her rescue dogs and cats!
May 27, 2009 6:28 PM	ayden	I love this photo I voted for you

May 26, 2009 9:19 PM	jujubean	well,I AGREE,it would be stupid to enter with only a couple of days left!!!! The one with sweetest baby has WAY too many. That could be years from now when it ends! My nephew will be in school by then!
May 26, 2009 9:13 PM	jujubean	I really dont understand this new system yet but not sure about this no deadline thing. It could take FOREVER! Plus,Why would anyone enter the very last picture when the comp would end right after and they would have no way of winning!! Kinda stupid....
May 26, 2009 9:11 PM	jujubean	I really like this one!! Its great!
May 26, 2009 7:26 PM	imthinkingoutloud	GL Sherry, I am outta here as well. I may or may not try again at a later date to see if anything has changed. I wish you the best and hope you rake it in :) I will show ya some love so you will know i am still alive. hugs
