VB Forums Photography Contest #5 - THE WINNERS ARE

[mar_zim]

I think mendhak will win this one...Again.
Mendhak shouldn't be allowed to join in the next context so that the others would have a chance.

Personally, I prefer unedited photos save for a few pictures that would really look well when they are say in sepia or b&w. However, there are some really good HDRs out there that deserve merit. What I would be against are pictures where a part of the composition has been heavily modified. Minor blemishes are fine I suppose but to actually alter the content to say remove a leg or a mountain is to me fake and doesn't deserve credit. I don't think the entries here are that drastically modified so I don't have any issues with it.

(There ran out of steam and my mind is now wandering elsewhere, so can't continue with my thought process now :P)

I look forward to this year's winners!

[wossname]

Voting ends at noon Pacific time, February 22nd.

I'm glad to see the winners being announced before the close of voting, that saves time I guess.

[MartinLiss]

I'm really sorry that happened. It was a major mistake on my part and I'll try not to let it happen again.

[penagate]

Next time, could we go by the titles of the photos instead of the numbers? I voted for the wrong shot.

[kulrom^]

Well deserved, Mendhak

They don't all have titles.

[MartinLiss]

...however if they are there you could include them if you want.

Congratulations to the winners...

[mendhak]

Congratulations to me I guess. I also thought Atheist's and wossname's entries were pretty good, I was just hoping to beat them at least

[DeanMc]

Damn, I couldn't scan in my disposable camera pics in time. argghh, this really makes me wanna get a camera! but there so expensive

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Bloody hell!

Someone voted for one of my photographs, might just be the first time that has happened!

Well done mendhak, but I guess it's like they say, bad at domestic chores... good at photography.

[mar_zim]

Indeed.

You've actually done pretty well. If you want more info PM me.

[wossname]

[serious]Marty, why not publish all the scores for all photos?[/serious]

[serious]Marty, why not publish all the scores for all photos?[/serious]

Because I think that it might embarrass people who didn't get any votes. What do others in this thread think?

[kulrom^]

I agree with you Martin.

Btw, I_Love_My_Vans i voted for one of your photos. If i remember well it was the photo #4 (Basketball)

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Cheers people, PM on it's way Mr Liss :-)

[wossname]

Oh come on, how will I know who to laugh at if you don't spill the beans?

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Don't worry wossy, I'll sendy my scorey after you visit the multi story.

I'm wasted in IT

[wossname]

You're certainly wasted.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Yeah... well your post 101 in this thread! How does that make you feel!

[wossname]

101? Jaysus, I nearly spilled my Martini. The joke's on me I guess.

[zaza]

Now that we've had 5 photo competitions, what about a "best of the best"....pitch the top 3 from each competition against each other?

Assuming we can find all the previous winning photos, of course....

[MartinLiss]

I have copies of all the photos and I think that's a good idea however I'm unsure about when to do it and I'm concerned that people might get annoyed about too many contests.

[dee-u]

Martin, could you verify if all those that I have voted for #1 always won as #1? =)

Sorry but that's too much work and I don't have who-voted-for-whom for contest #1.

[akhileshbc]

Hey Marty, why don't you give a small prize to the winners... ???

What? And perpetuate the Mendhak hegemony forever?

I'm not in favour of contests I'm not almost gauranteed to win.

How about "Best wossname photo ever" contest? Open to all VBF members called wossname?

The mists of time shroud two dinosaurs of the VBF photo scene. Named penasaurus rex and grilceratops, these mighty predators devoured all before them in early contests, leaving even The Frog weeping with self-loathing and unworthy thoughts. Not that that is too unusual, to be honest.

I agree with Marty though; we don't want to overdo it with the contests. Maybe in a couple of months.

[wossname]

I propose a "Who can suggest the best contest?" contest.
