So far among the contest photos we have 2 cats, 1 squirrel, a swan, an owl, a star fish, some seagulls, a spider, a bee, some homo sapiens and a bunch of other stuff.
Yourself? :lol::check:Quote:

Total entries should be up to 65 with Merrion's. 3 days left to fill 35 spots. I predict 80 or fewer total entries but I'd like to see all the spots filled. We'll see what happens.
Hi Marty, my submissions are loaded to Senduit.The descriptions are in the notepad contained in the rar file.
True. I thought only Wossy would allow cats to lick his face :pQuote:

All three photos were taken from inside the car with a Canon PowerShot A430.
rjv rnjn did you shoot that swordfish shot at an aquarium and if so which one? If not at an aquarium I'm curious as to how you got it? Underwater?
It says under the photo, "Can you guess if she is smiling or is sad?". Are you sure it's a she. I don't have a guess. Maybe he or she is hungry.

That reminds me of someone saying, "That little big sign."
'One fewer', strictly, since the number of contestants is discrete.
and which definition of discrete is that?Quote:

discrete as opposed to continuous, and definitely not discreet (like this message!) — P
I know this is Chit Chat but since I have to look at every post I'd appreciate it if the posts were restricted to those that directly affect the contest. Thanks.
Taken with a Fuji Finepix F50fd point-and-shoot.
1) Lost !
2) Alexandra park boating lake in Autumn
3) All your sarnies are belong to us
4) Guard Cats...
5) Stop following me!
I've lots more, including winter snow scenes. When I get time, I'll set up the flickr account properly.
rjv rnjn your #5 entry I hadn't looked at up close until just now. When I did I realized that it's rotated 90 degrees to the left but I guess that's how you wanted it for whatever reason. The lettering on one of the buildings gives it away. "Millenia Walk".
there are far too many i want to upload lol so heres my gallery:

Voting will remain open until noon PST 2/11/09.
Why not use the new photo album feature of the vBulletin software? Have each person create a thread with their photo entries and a poll at the top. People can vote for the best of each person's images. These can then be put into groups of up to 10 to vote for semi-finalists, the finalists. This would let everything reside here on the forum and thus make it a bit easier as there will be no files to pass around.
Brad!
Okay - so I need to get Joe to get this forum upgraded in order to do what I just said......
I'll see where VBForums is on the list..... I was thinking it was already updated.... :eek2:
Brad!

But won't that become a bit messy in organization. You can rate a picture qualitatively only after you have seen all submissions. Also, it will take away "the contest flavor"; deadlines et al; which makes it exciting.Quote:

Guys, sort it out next time or I shall arrange for a daily photoupdate to your respective email inboxes from the private collection of visualAd.
I just deleted a couple of posts. Please see post #64.
How's the voting going Martin? I remember during the last contest you said that not enough people were voting. We were writing posts to encourage voting be we got a bit too carried away.
Be sure not to vote since the voting is officially now closed. We are all now anxiously awaiting the results of the contest or maybe not so anxiously awaiting the results of the contest. I have my predictions but I know better than to voice them.
And the winners are:
1st - grilkip #1
2nd - mendhak #2
3rd - EntityX #1
Best Photographer (most total points)
mendhak
Other photos garnering 1st place votes: (in alphabetical order)
Arrow_Raider #1
manavo11 #1
MartinLiss #2
mendhak #1
mendhak #4
Merrion #1
soso3 #1
zaza #1
zaza #5
Congratulations all! I'll do this again in about 6 months.
