Runoff Vote: Best Beach Picture

Check out all these great beach pictures from your neighbors and vote on which one you think is the best.

We are now in a runoff.

Tredyffrin-Easttown Patch Local Editor Bob Byrne's photograph got the most votes, but, as a Patch employee, he can't win, so here are the finalists. Choose which picture you think is best.

All the pictures are numbered in the caption area. Please vote by giving the number of the photo you like best in the comments below. We'd also love to know why you think that is the best photo, but all we need for the vote to count is the number.


Voting will end at 9 a.m. Wednesday. So get in your vote. One vote per person, please.

This is part of Patch’s summer Picture of the Week series, where we ask you for your best pictures on a certain topic each week. We love seeing the pictures you've shared so far and are looking forward to more. The winning submission will get a Patch prize pack, which includes a very soft Patch Tshirt, a baseball cap and maybe some other Patch stuff, but more importantly, you’ll get bragging rights.

We’ll be taking photo submissions each week from 4 a.m. Monday through noon Friday.

We love #4 "Blue Sky Day at The Beach" Such vibrant colors, and beautiful beach !!!
Susan Harrity August 27, 2012 at 06:08 pm
#2 - The essence of summer. Beach, waves, spray, foam, and a kid having a great time in spite of a bathing suit full of sand! I love this picture.
Sharon Kozden August 27, 2012 at 06:27 pm
#6. Nothing speaks "beachy summer" as does rough-hewn textures of wooden Adirondack chairs with a backdrop of fence and sand -- all in naturistic monochromatic color values and juxtaposed with the beauty and vibrant joy of one precious iMPY Beatrice Grace -- the real scene-stealer!

#3 of 7..the black and white from SIC!
Colleen Larkin August 27, 2012 at 10:40 pm
#2 is the best. It's a classic and refreshing depiction of what going to the beach is about.
Colleen Larkin August 27, 2012 at 10:41 pm
I agree. What a classic.
Ann Cavanaugh August 27, 2012 at 11:15 pm
This is difficult but I will go with #2.
BerwynGirl August 28, 2012 at 02:09 am
Sharon - am I missing something with these impy dolls? I saw you entered some photos of them in the baby contest too.

#4. This photo just makes me smile.
Harriet Laurin August 28, 2012 at 01:23 pm
#22 - Simplicity - a child having fun at the beach. Clear shot of the ocean wave froth, not fuzzy at all, and I also like that it could be ANY beach (yes, I know the caption says Ocean City) - there's no inadvertent advertising for any particular beach or town. It's a universal shot :)
Elaine Stewart August 28, 2012 at 01:23 pm
#2 is my choice
Sharon Kozden August 28, 2012 at 01:56 pm
BerwynGirl ... not sure what you mean by "missing something." iMPY is my photographic muse, so-to-speak. Each to own. I hope PATCH calls for garden photos next, as I've got the cutest one of iMPY watering (posed with hose) our pepper plants. Do you not think she's photogenic-adorable enough to warrant entries? I do try to keep the contest theme in mind. Mayhap I stretched it with the baby submission; however, I figure the editor would have the final word on whether or not she stays or goes.
BerwynGirl August 28, 2012 at 02:22 pm
Actually I thought perhaps you were selling them, subtle marketing and all. Yes, to each their own!
Anne August 28, 2012 at 03:11 pm
#22 (which I think some people are calling #2). It brings back some of my most delightful memories of riding those waves!!!
Bill Ewing August 28, 2012 at 03:20 pm
#25 (3 of 7) because of the interesting camera angle and father-son theme, but for me it barely noses out 22 and 46. My personal preference is for the human interest angle.
slyfox August 28, 2012 at 05:03 pm
#3 - love the whole loving pic.....very nice
Jennirox August 28, 2012 at 07:37 pm
#4. Love the bright colors.
Marie Thibault August 28, 2012 at 07:50 pm
Love #22 (2 of 7) - to me that is what is so great about the beach - the water, waves and fun.
Sue Cassidy Cocchi August 29, 2012 at 05:33 am
I agree. Voting for that picture, too. To me, that is a fun, summertime shot at any beach. Love it.
Sharon August 29, 2012 at 03:00 pm
I vote for #25 picture perfect.Dad and his baby .
Sharon August 29, 2012 at 03:03 pm
#9 Had to be there to see this . Better then Action News.

Dont you have to bake these things at 400+ in the oven before serving? Won't that sterilize theRead More food?
Frank Baran February 24, 2013 at 02:37 am
With all due respect to Giant (I shop there), I do believe that seed and suet for backyard birdsRead More should be purchased by a locally owned store. A locally run store has a higher turnaround in seed and suet, meaning the product is fresher. Stay away from "big box" discount stores. Their seed and suet may sit on store shelves for months, letting the products turn rancid. Also, big box stores often by seed mixtures that contain fillers such as red millet. Backyard birds do not eat red millet (they do love white millet, however). If you think you're saving money when you buy a seed mixture containing red millet, it's really not a bargain. Shop locally! And be a smart shopper!

The Davis Feed Mill in Perkasie and the Moyer Feed Mill in Souderton are good sources for bird seed.Read More Locally owned and operated. Support your community business.

Dove's eat red millet. Your right about red millet in most seed bags which are over half the seeds,Read More what a waste. We buy big bags of parrot seeds & they to are filled with filler things that they don't even eat. I don't like the fact that the seed bags can't be seen through anymore. Easy way to rip people off.

Well....there goes that Bar Mitzvah!

Get you lox/nova from Costco. It's almost half the price and much tastier and if they ever have aRead More recall, they notify you, individually, and you don't need a receipt to get cash back. Once I discovered how good their smoked salmon tastes, and I get it at such a great price, I never will get it from anywhere else. One catch... you have to join the Costco club but man, it's worth it. I used to buy 1/2 lbs from Genardi's and when they got bought out by Giant, I had to look elsewhere. Now that I found Costco, I buy 1 1/2 lbs at about the same price and it's even more delicious. Happy Bar Mitzvah.
