Do you facebook? Do you want to see an RMer win a watch for something as arbitrary as taking a lucky picture? Then have I got a deal for you. Vote for my pic in the ORW picture contest!! You'll feel good if you do. :lol: The image is called "Speed", and is on the last page.

Here is the link:

And here is the pic.

It really is the best picture! Quite amazing, Rick-- well done.

The one winning so far isn't even a great pic-- they must just have a LOT of their friends voting.

So VOTE for Rick's. :D

I think the one of Gillis & Eshutu coming around the corner is the best one. Like the one of El Hachimi too- it looks like he's walking across a tightrope and is afraid he'll fall.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

I'm not sure my vote is counting. Do I have to login to an app using my Facebook account in order to vote?

Maybe it's not counting then because I voted on Sunday when this post first went up. That contest application still needs a bit of work...

Even logged into FB I also had to allow an app called EazyContests before it would allow my vote.
