MCC Contest - 2009 Roundup

My Dear friends,

First of all I would like to thank all my blogger friends for participating in this event, and making it a great success. I am really glad to share with you this magnificient clicks sent by everyone. From bottom of my heart i would say that all the clicks were awesome, I learnt many tips from this event and by which i feel more satisfied by hosting this event.

I really got this idea, just to know more about photography and way to show off our pics in a real good way. Even though i got very less tips in words from you all, the photos sent by everyone speaks a lot more practically. I thank everyone who sent me your lovely entries. Presenting the round up, hope you all love it. I received around 140 entries, that was a real big amount for which i never expected. I will announce the results and share the awards in few days. Hard to decide upon, If you guys wish to vote on any specific photo, Please mention in your comments. Thank you so much once again.
