BWTB Photo Contest #1 Voting - OVER

[Mr. Pickles]

The Voting for the 1st BWTB Photo Contest is OVER......Winners are anounced at the end of this Subject.

The FIRST PhotoCamel, bi-weekly, theme-based (BWTB) Photo Contest is OVER. Based on some feedback, this was apparently a hard theme. So if you thought about it, took the time to shoot some pictures, and entered, congratulations.

Now, it is time to VOTE.

BEFORE I get to the voting rules, I need to thank Graeme at PhotoShare (www.Photohare.nz.co). We asked for a bit of help with this contest, and they gave us probably MORE than we deserved. Because of their generosity, help, and website, we now have room to keep these contest images on a site for a long time.

So please, if you are looking for a place to host your portfolio, that gives you Parent and Child galleries, and a "link" direct to your galleries, and allows you to easily customize it hundreds of ways, be sure to give them a look. Their price beats many rivals (especially PBase), and their customized, and wizard based, options are better also. Thanks again Graeme, and thanks Jared for handling that.

Back to the voting. For this contest, you will be limited to THREE votes. Voting will run through this coming Saturday morning. Look at all the entries, and then vote for the THREE you like the best here. The theme of this contest was "NUMBER ONE".

The "theme" can be in many forms, so keep that in mind also. It may be the obvious, it may be a definition, a feeling, or something else. When looking at the images, you need to "get" the theme from it.

All the images are now located at our Contest Website. From the link below, you can access the main page. Click on the "Number One" contest icon (NOT the PhotoCamel one), and you will see the images on the left in a thumbnail, and on the right they will be displayed larger. Numbers will be under each image, and that is how the vote entries are. Write down your favorite three, and vote here. It is that simple. Everyone needs to vote the way they feel, not the way everybody else does. Have fun and good luck to the members that entered.

Either the voting results are hidden, which is a VERY cool feature.......or it ain't workin'

Nice job setting this whole thing up, MrP....from the beginning right on through to the hosting of the entries.

[Paul Shields]

Great work Mr Pickles. You've done a sterling job setting this up. I like how you've kept it anonymous thoughout (not that it's too tricky to spot one or two of the entrants ).

[Mr. Pickles]

OHenry,

I did lock the voting results till after the voting period. You should be able to change your vote though. Let me know if that isn't possible. Just so you know, there are 16 votes so far, which means you can vote for more than three, or someone didn't.

Thanks to all for the thanks. Only one caught the spelling error on the page, and you all wasn't him.

[ohenry]

I see the "change vote" option. Probably works, I haven't tried it as I have voted for 3 already.

[Mr. Pickles]

Thanks

[Mr. Pickles]

I had uploaded all the entries, but apparently there was an issue with one, that i didn't know about for more than a day. I finally got that resolved through help from PhotoShare, and there is ONE MORE ENTRY there now.

SO, if you voted, you CAN go back in and CHANGE your votes. In any case, be sure to go and look at the entries again.

Sorry about that, and we will try to get all this stuff figured out. Hey, we're rookies too

[Mr. Pickles]

[Paul Shields]

Well done Carl and Mr P. An interesting comp that kept us all guessing till the end!

I'm still looking for a nice pair to show in the next comp.

Only a week to go.....

[Paul Shields]

I wonder if there were any other 'almost' entries that weren't submitted? To be honest I didn't spend a great deal of time on this one and just shot random subjects with my 'nbr one'. Here's one other that didn't get entered.

Here's my other attempts...all based on the same subject. http://ohenry.smugmug.com/gallery/1157070

Thanks for the comments and congrats to everyone that entered. I really enjoyed seeing them and trying to figure out who shot what (Paul, your entry was pretty easy to figure out )

[Mr. Pickles]

You mean like this one?
