February Photo Contest Finalists

>> See the slide show of the finalists

Valentine's Day may have passed, but the finalists of February's photo contest still have us gushing over all sorts of sweet moments. From sleeping babes to sunset kisses, it's nice to see Washington take a break from work deadlines and spend some time with the people who matter most.

Who should be crowned the winner? That's up to you to decide. Check out the pictures in our finalists gallery, then vote for your favorite in the poll below. The photograph with the most votes as of noon on Monday, February 28, with be published in the April issue of The Washingtonian.

Please remember to play fair! The rules allow one vote per person, and we monitor the polls closely. If we catch voting irregularities for a particular photograph it'll be disqualified. 

*To help keep this contest fair, we’ve elected to use an IP-address-based poll. This means that if you’re voting from an office or network setting, not everybody in that setting will be able to vote. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we hope you’ll encourage coworkers to vote from their home computers.
