I wish you didn't have the rule about no people being in it. This is my favorite photo:

Really nice pic Mike. Your pretty small in the pic! Maybe submit it anyway! (Seriously I'm even shorter than no... No pun intended)

I'll try to begin laying it out this coming week. My goal will be to have it done by Dec. That will be weeks before last years. Mike, your photo doesn't look bad. The thing i was trying to shy away from was the standard shots of people standing around an obstacle that someone was trying to get up. Yours provides some amount of artistic merit, so I'd be fine looking at it. Thats no guarantee that I'll use it.

Since my vehicle is not in these shots at all, does it count against my 2 submissions?

Thanks!

I have to admit - I actually prefer the current photo on my build thread, but since it is on pavement, it was disqualified...

Nope. No video because I left my SD card at home. Only a few photos because my camera battery died. Took a few other minor casualties yesterday, too, but I will post them over in the other thread.
