Sorry, no can do.

I used to enter the Olympus E-SLR Challenges but stopped after Olympus discontinued their OVF series of DSLRs.

This was my winning entry in their C11 - Wide Angle Challenge.

I love B&W photography! Seems to bring out more emotion in the photography. Great bones in that old home.
All of the photographs you are sharing are stunning. You have a great ability to capture the essence of each subject and you have the creativity to enhance the image to draw an emotional connection with your audience!

I could spend all day looking at your pictures! Congrats on the win, that picture is beautiful!

I agree, I'm enjoying them too.

Wow! You were very lucky! So glad to hear you are okay. Being in a tornado is something you don't forget.

I’m thinking (hoping) it was straight line winds, but it was still scary! I’ve been in tornado situations before, but always in a basement, not on the side of a highway. I was very lucky indeed, no doubt about that, others weren’t so lucky... There is a lot of damage from other tornadoes down near Canton and Mabank. Still nothing compared to OK and what has happened around y’all though.

Saw the news clips on Canton...looked really bad...hate it.
National News report nearly 500 tornadoes from Texas, Oklahoma (71), into Missouri, Arkansas going into NE and towards the East coast in just the month of May...way too many with too much damage. Ohio was really hit hard.

Nobody's offended that @casportpony pointed out the obvious There's a huge difference between taking snapshots and photography. And I am enjoying the photos as well, @R2elk.

I met an old man recently who told me he was in an O. Winston Link photo as a young man. He said he was approached at a drive-in movie and offered $10 to sit with his date at a gas pump while a train went by and be photographed in his dad's beloved convertible. I've seen the image, he wasn't kidding.

Apparently you are not the only one. When I first got on BYC this morning I had 1299 alerts due to a certain someone who went on a spree giving likes to my photos.
