In A Cat's Eye! Congratulations to our finalists, as determined by our site team. To make it fair, we did institute a rule that we could not vote for our own pictures. We were each allowed to vote for 10 photos, and these constitute the ones that 1/2 of us voted for. (I want to make this as transparent as possible so everyone knows this is a fair process.)

This poll will be open for 1 week. Each member can vote for one of our finalists, and you can vote for your own photo if you want to. You did not have to enter a photo to be able to vote. The top photos will be featured in a 2009 Calendar that will be offered for sale through Cafe Press at the TCS Store.
An example of what the calendar may look like is here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9.../Example-1.jpg Please note I used the first 3 photos of March's contest in alphabetical order, it is not reflective of the team vote or my own personal views.

The top 3 will receive points (1st: 5000 points, 2nd: 2500 points, 3rd: 1000 points) and a custom signature showing the whole site that they have Mr./Ms. January on TCS! And, of course, bragging rights.
The winner will also have a 2009 TCS Calendar that will go on sale later this year sent to them!

The photos will appear in the next post, in alphabetical order.

Those are some amazing pictures! I voted for my baby Smudge, but congrats to the real photographers around here!

The pictures are ALL so gorgeous

Personally though I knew the first time I saw Stoli's picture that I couldn't resist!

Wow... that was VERY hard! I need to look at my camera setting and try WAY harder if I ever stand a chance in these things.

Gosh I had such a hard time choosing - seriously. I couldn't figure out if I wanted to vote for Sabina or Stoli - in the end Stoli told me I had to vote for him or else he'd never let me sleep in again.

I had a hard time choosing too! I went through it over and over, and kept narrowing it down. I tried to stay focused on the eyes only. So many of these photos would be great in the upcoming portrait contest also.

Good luck to everyone!!
