Nearly 600 Hawaii photos have been uploaded by readers to myBudgetTravel—which made the selection process for this slide show the toughest yet! We picked out 18 stunning images of the islands, including a dramatic waterfall on Kauai, a sunrise over Haleakala on Maui, surfers on Oahu's famed North Shore, and carved weather-beaten statues on the Big Island.

Hi, our family visited Hawaii this summer and loved it. These are beautiful pictures, however,I believe picture # 15 is a view of Kalalau Valley from Pu'u o Kila Lookout and not Waimea Canyon. Let me know.

yep. #15 is kalalau valley, NOT waimea canyon.

Sirs:
When you put slideshows with subscribers' pictures of a beautiful place on your website, please minimize the size of your ads and header. It's extremely annoying not to be able to page through the slide show because you can't see the number of the picture, read the caption, and advance through them without paging down. Also, it's annoying to have to wait for another advertisement to load.

I ALSO LOVED THE 15 PICTURE. THE SKY AND SUN, IT'S BREATH TAKING. ME AND MY BOYFRIEND ALSO WENT TO HAWAII IN OCT 2008. LOVED IT. WOULD GO BACK SOON. WE DID TWO DAY ON LAND AND 12 DAY CRUISE. LOVE THE IOLO PALACE ON BISHOP ST, NEAR THE ALA MONTA MALL. THE LADY MRS JANE WAS VERY MIND BLOWING WITH THE OLD DANCE. LOVED ALL OF HAWAII. WE TOOK ABT 1000 PICTURES.

A little disappointing. You had about three winners. Your other slide shows have been far better. This is a great feature, but you must of had a better representation in the many photos you received. Hawaii is far more beautiful than depicted in most of these photos.

A wonderful collection of photos from the Islands. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure the distant background matches the actual site. Could this be two images?

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Great! I think counting users is a better way, and counting active users even better.
