    I can't see Plaids... But yeah, the choice is going to be tough...
  5. Stercus Stercus New Member

    I can see Plaid's.

    Not too tough for me. One moment stands out.

    Hum... I can see Plaid's, even after emptying the cache... So I have no idea what the error could be...:question:

    Hm. Now it is gone, not only from here, but also from her own post...

    She had it hosted at Blogger, which is a bit iffy with external linkage.

    Edit: Also, where's Rinso's? Wasn't the sheep photo an entry?
  8. Hsing Moderator

    How could I not see that?!
    Sorry.
    Here it is.

    I thought all of them were great, but Ben's just caught my eye for "moment", as in a small fraction of time. What kind of shutter speed do you have your camera on, Ben? The wings aren't blurred in the least. Wow.

    I made sure I went back through all of them as fairly as possible, I was afraid that Rinso's being the last, it was influencing me... But no, it's just the whole thing : the sheep's expression, the lighting, contrast, colour, and... well, the subtitle did count, I guess, but still, even without it, the pic rocks. :cool:

    I loved Mal's for the movement, Plaid's for the symbol, Sunna's for the... sun ? :biggrin: (could maybe have been a teensy bit more contrasted, but still, great) Ben's for the weirdness (was it sitting on your windscreen ?) and Chris's fighting foxes (shame they were so far away).
    Stercus is a bunny murderer and therefore loses all cute points that a pic of a bunny would usually give him. And man, that is a lot of cute points.

    The shutter speed isn't that great, the crane fly was actually stuck on a spider's web on my work window. If you look closely you can see a couple of other blobs of dirt stuck to the web. Which reminds me that I have a picture of the spider I need to upload...

    I haven't decided which pic to vote for yet, I shall return to my pondering.

    So many great enteries this month! So hard to pick. When does the voting end.

    Rinso's picture is great, but I think Plaid's picture fits the theme much more aptly.

    I agree with Sampanna, Plaid's picture fits the theme better for me than all the others. It's actually quite difficult because cameras naturally capture moments whatever you take a picture of, but I think Plaid's does much more in telling a little story about a moment, we all know what has just happened moments ago from the shot without actually seeing it. I like the lines and art of the picture too.

    Ben's picture sticks out for me, because it's so striking. The wings are gorgeous. I liked all of them though.

    I think Kat and Plaid both did the best job of capturing the theme this round. I chose Kat's because of the thematic linking of the ephemeral moment with Buddhist philosophy.

    Katkal's because it is truly a moment in time. If you took a picture of a Monk in robes 50 years ago, or 100 years ago (if we had colour photos back then) they would all stay the same. But the phone pinpoints it to a particular moment in time due to the short-lived nature of modern mobile phones. Nerds 20 years in the future would probably be able to tell you exactly when the darned thing was released, and when they stopped making them.

    It was a close run thing for me between Katkal's and Sunna's. Sunna's is just so pretty...

    Loads of amazing enteries this month. I found it very hard to pick. I the end I went for Sunna, it's the picture that effects me the most. Their is something almost glorious about it. Plaid, as always impressed me, her pictures always seem simple and quirky, they always seem to tell a story. Katcal's was amazing, almost commerical- I mean that is a compliment- I could picture it being on a bill board. I also like Mal's a lot.

    Just brilliant, even though it was a very close tie with Plaid's...

    And sorry I am a little delayed, I am at my parents, and it is hard to drive my parents away from their computer...

    THat means:

    Congratulations, Katcal!
    You're next!
