Every Sunday evening I go through the thread and chose a pic for the week. I'll then resize as needed and post as the POW. If there are people or watermarks then the pic will generally be skipped over. If you wish to submit a pic that has a watermark that needs to be removed then you should submit the pic without the watermark to me via PM (prior to Sunday evening). I then announce the winner here. It's a pretty uncomplicated process as it's really just bragging rights for a week.
Lots of great pics in this thread folks - keep them coming. Remember that I'm looking for Fall pictures the next 2 weeks. See this post for more info.
