Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Congratulations to grilkip and mendhak and thanks to everyone who voted for my picture. I took the shot of the bee back in 2004 in La Quinta, CA at the Trilogy which is a pricey development with a golf course. Arrow_Raider I thought that your shot would place. I thought it was excellent.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Woohoo! Glory and recognition be mine! :afrog:
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Who are you?
Congrulations all.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Hapy dayy two you all!!! :afrog:
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Those who didn't vote visualad will all die a horrible death. Mwhahahahaha.
And those those who one, you will spend the rest of your lives in a cell with Rick Astley.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Congrats to all those who have won.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Congratulations all...
But I did warn you all, as I didn't win, Chuck Norris will come and seek revenge!

Congratulations all! I'll do this again in about 6 months.
According to this post there were no more than 12 photos out of the 78 that received 1st place votes.
And VisualAd I didn't vote for you so I guess I'll just have to die a horrible death and to top it off I didn't vote for I_Love_My_Vans either so I guess I'll have to get beat up by Chuck Norris first. Nah, I think I'll pass on both of those.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Your figure of 12 assumes that the 3 top finishers all got at least one 1st place vote. While that happened this time it is conceivable for a photo to receive no 1st place votes and still finish in the top 3.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Martin, perhaps you could specify the criteria of winning in this contest so other confusions like with EntityX will be clarified?
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Thank you for pointing out that oversight. The method for determining the winner was mentioned in the 1st contest but I forgot to include it in this one. In any case I've added a Contest Winners section in post #1 that explains how the winners are determined.

that was an approximation and the sentence implies there could have been less (maybe unintentionally) :p
CONGRATULATONS ALL!!:thumb:
One of my pics was described "mendhak" and, for a second, I thought I won the overall contest ;) :afrog:
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
I was promised visualad's spleen as prize. :(
Thanks for the vote spam! :)

I've created this album that contains the winning pictures from the three contests that we've had so far.

Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
I'm thinking perhaps in a year or so when we have had at least 5 contests that I might run a contest for the best of the best with perhaps some real prizes.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Real prizes! I don't know that might be going too far. Here's my suggestion.
1st prize : $ 1,000,000
2nd prize : $ 500,000
3rd prize : $ 250,000
Members would start taking up photography and you would certainly fill up all the spots if you offered such prizes. Coming up with the $ 1,750,000 prize fund would be the hard part.
But more seriously, you could offer prizes of some sort. Gift certificates maybe.
Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3
Remove 5 zeros from each and you're in the ballpark.
