Cast your votes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice!


==info==

Lets get some healthy competition going on the Forums!

Every fortnight we will run this competition. The competition starts on Saturday the 13th and you have exactly two weeks (until the end of Friday the 26th) to submit one and only one photo as your entry. Then voting will commence and last for one week after entry is closed (until the 4th of July, independence day!)

You must email your entry image to admin@photographersonline.co.nz remember your only allowed one entry.

After the 26th all of the Photos will be uploaded by me onto this thread and users will give out three votes for their 1st 2nd and 3rd choice for the winner. Giving someone a 1st choice will be 10 points, 2nd = 5 points and 3rd 2 points, the points will be tallied and the winner decided!

And the winner will get to choose the next theme for the competition! - which will start on the following Sunday the 5th of July or until the next theme is decided :p

This weeks theme is Freedom in remembrance of Independence Day, go out and shoot some beautiful pictures showcasing freedom i.e. you might want to shoot some Photos of Birds or Wildlife, or something else... I dont know! you be creative... Your only allowed to use photos shot in these two weeks, as the purpose of the comp is to get the community out shooting and improving their skills, don't be lazy!

All 2 entries I recieved have been posted on the first post, so cast your vote for 1st 2nd and 3rd place!

I was cheeky and entered my own competition just so we could have 1st second and third place :)

[smurff]

were do we vote?

i vote number two.
the thought that, even though the tree is stuck in the ground, it still has the freedom to grow were it wants.

-smurff

[David]

make sure you choose a 1st 2nd and 3rd place because points will count.

[smurff]

I recommend we set up a poll next time to make the votes anonomous (Y)

[Haim]

haha thanks for the votes guys... if i had to choose one that i liked ( other than mine.....) would be probably Bananaman's one.....

[Haim]

i'm with you on this anonomous viting thing for the next one too.......

[David]

the difference is that you wont be able to vote for 1st 2nd and 3rd if its a poll, only allowed one vote. but if everyone is cool with that its fine.

[BaNaNaMaN]

Like Haim, if I had to put me last it would be Haim > David > Me

[David]

ok the points have been totalled and...

The winner is Haim with 65 points

Second place BananaMan with 52 points

Third place is me with a sad 22 points haha

congrats to Haim, who can now choose the next theme for the competition!

Haim please choose a theme and I will start a new thread in this forum, or if you feel like it you can start the thread. I think we will use a Poll next time for the voting. We will make it two weeks to take the photos from the time the thread is created and another one week for the voting just like this competition (Y)

[Haim]

Okay, well.........

Firstly i would love to thank everyone that voted for me! :) cheerz guys! :P

The theme i would like to be is something pretty specific....


Friendship ( in the human race not animals)

The reason I chose this theme is mainly becasue i DO enjoy shooting people ( almost the most favourite thing right now for me....) BUT i have a whole lot of improvement to do.... so i would like to challange myself and you guys to photo theme of friendship !

Bring it on!
