The "Another Photo Contest" Story

It was an ordinary day. Checking the entries into SXM Travel Forum that started two weeks ago. The theme was beaches of St. Martin, Anguilla and Pinel Island. I enter the maximum five photos and thought I would look at some of the other entries. Some pretty nice photos to compete against. Not quite sure what the prize is for winning, but that doesn't really matter. Gives me a chance to share my hobby with others. The last contest that the website sponsored I was lucky enough to win a set of coasters from St. Martin. The voting will start very soon and a winner will be picked shortly after. I have included the five entries that I put on the site so you can see what I have entered. I have also pulled off the site some of the entries from other people so you can see what my competition will be. Hope you enjoy my photos as well as the other entries. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

First 5 are my entries .....
