Photo Challenge 15: Judging

rymus

Right then, judging in the Long Exposure challenge. Towards the end of the voting period I'm going to ask the highest scorer to pick the next theme. If that's you, have something ready

The photos are here - http://photos.hotshotireland.com/thumbnails.php?album=19

Oriel

Dammit, forgot about that. Would it be possible for me to submit one this evening? Puuuurty please?

rymus

what a pain in the hole... go on then, but be quick about it!

God damn I just rated fey's shot of the monks as rubbish, I meant top marks, anyway I can undo it. My sincere apologies.:o
Oh, I've just realised the vote is at the top of the page, more embarressment.

Fey!

No bother, Dubtom - I appreciate the compliment! Thanks.

Fey!

and I was doing soooo well for a while!!!

Knew it was too good to last!

Oriel

Rymus, if you hadn't already guessed, I'm just going to leave it - the reason being quite simple - I can't find the photo I was looking for. If I come across it, sure I'll posted it anyway for a slating.

Oriel

Ooh, and since I'm not in it, I'd just like to say THEY'RE ALL ****E! :P
But it was between redrob and fey for the ****est, but redrob just clipped it
But I thought fey deserved a mention...

Roen

I'm a bit of an astronomy nerd at times so i had to go with Valentia. If for no other reason than he knows how to locate the Pole star.

rymus

Fey or redrob, whoever gets in first can pick next months theme... Quick now...

Fey!

Cityscape?

If it's been done before, or not challenging enough, let Redrob pick.

BTW, thanks to those who voted for mine and made nice comments; much appreciated!

rymus

groovy, cityscape it is

kjt

Really nice pix all round!
But I had to go with Latchiko, lovely shot!

Fey!

KJT - Latchiko got my vote, too; loved the red streak against the greyscale.

mloc

damn wish i hadnt missed one, have a few good shots!

latchiko

kjt and Fey! - Thanks for the votes and comments! I'm new to the photography game so it's great to get some feedback.

Hi

Just wanted to say sorry I wasn't around last week to make suggestions for the next challenge. All the same, cityscapes sounds like a nice broad topic, so hopefully there'll be some good stuff.

Anyway, thanks for all the votes, its nice to do so well on my first try:)

Jaysus... 2 on 12 votes... So err, congrats to Fey and redrob who'll have to share first prize, Fajitas who can have second prize all for himself and Latchiko who'll have to make do with third prize.

Now... if only there were prizes...

YeAh!

It would be great if we could get the entire boards population to get involved in these photo polls! A person winning on 12 votes is a bit crappy especially with all these peoples hard work going into creating such fantastic photos!

kjt

Yea it would be great if we could get a sticky up in AH.....?

It seems to get a bit lost in this wee forum all by itself. Would a quick note in the main page help, do you think?

I wouldn't want to get into trouble for pimping it in other forums though.

It has dwindled in popularity over the last couple months. Seems that the respect of your peers as a prize isn't a tantalising enough proposition these days... Who wants to go get some sponsorship from a lens manufacturer?

rymus

Some time ago I envisioned a scheme whereby we could award "big cash prizes" for photo challenges, but its down to either sponsorship or charging for entries. I certainly cant see the latter being very popular so unless someone wants to sponsor something....

Fajitas!

w00t! Second...After 3 thirds...Come oooooooooooooooon the first!
