Excellent photos puffer-peeps! It was hard for me to make a decision, they were all so good, but in the end, it can be only one puffer (photo). Too much good competition for the likes of my crappy pictures. :yikes:

Photoshopping to clean up/intensify is perfectly acceptable, as long as the content is all "real" and not faked.

Congrats Mike, I am really running behind with getting you up on the home page, my "to do" list is a mile long this week.
