The theme was: Decay Here are the entries: Gypsy: Maljonic: Joculator: Katcal: Hsing: Rincewind: Voting ends September 31st.
The first vote: Gypsy: Maljonic: Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: Rincewind: I thought the picture was technically brilliant, and an opportunity well caught on "film". Half of taking a good picture is actually, for me, seeing the motif in the first place. Katcal is good at that.
Gypsy: 1 Maljonic: Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: Rincewind: Mainly because Gypsy's photo was quite similar to the one I was intending to post and never quite got around to taking.
A difficult decision with such a wide interpretation of the theme. I liked the whole spectrum of urban and natural decay in Hsing's shot Gypsy: 1 Maljonic: Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 1 Rincewind:
Mal's photo was a close choice because it reminded me of Titan, the arch-villain, out of the kids programme 'Stingray', but I have to go for Gypsy's sunflower. Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 1 Rincewind:
I think Hsing's is superb, but I do like the accidental cleverness of Katcal's. Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 2 Rincewind:
Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: 1 Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 2 Rincewind: Just felt that Mal's closest met the theme (though it may be by only a small margin ). The others were great as well.
had to go with Hsing's. I loved the colours. Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: 1 Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 3 Rincewind:
Has to be Hsing's, I love the light and the colour, and as Joc said so well, the mixture of natural and urban decay... Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: 1 Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 4 Rincewind:
Another for Hsing - amazing colours. Cracking photo. Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: 1 Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 5 Rincewind:
Gypsy: 2 Maljonic: 1 Joculator: Katcal: 1 Hsing: 6 Rincewind Amazing photo Hsing! Nice work. Also nods for Katcals, good find!
Ok, but I'm warning you, if you choose "graveyards" as the next subject, I'll beat the crap out of you all with my fabulous pics of giant celtic crosses... How about "amazing natural rock formations that look like a giant built a great big causeway" ?
Graveyards are one of my favourite subjects, actually. Look at my flickr... Maybe someone else should suggest the next theme... someone else than me and Katcal, that is!
I think you should still choose the next subject, Hsing. You did win by a little bit of a margin. When you think about it, the weather is simply screaming graveyards at this time of year. Not that I'm trying to influence your choice or anything.
Oh well. :razz: To avoid any accusations, I will try something new and give you the weekend to vote for one of the following themes: Graveyards (because it seems popular) Serenity Tales Water Wind All are more or less autumn proof, and none really excludes the other...
What's the bet, now that you've picked water, that it's going to stop raining here? Nice choice though.
yeah driving to work this morning was like driving through the shallow end of a swimming pool for 35 miles...gripe...gripe. Ing scottish weather...gripe...gripe...badly drained M8...gripe...gripe...ad infinitum* R. * Water is a good subject - I will try to participate this time...
