This is the nomination thread for the biweekly photo contest, for pictures posted on the forum from October 1st to 15th, 2009 inclusive. Members may nominate up to three photographs posted by others during this time period. You can’t nominate your own images. If a photograph has already been nominated, please don’t nominate it again as it will already be on the list. And if you nominate a shot posted outside of the applicable time period, it will be removed.
To nominate a photo, please add it to this thread, and include
-the thread title from where the image was originally posted;
-the name of the photograph (if there was one posted); and
-the name of the photographer
On the evening of October 18th a voting poll will be added to this thread, so that you can see the nominated images in the same thread as you will be voting. Voting will remain open for 4 days after the poll is posted.
In the event of a contest tie, the mods/admins will be asked if they haven't yet voted. If they haven't, they must pick between the tied images to break the tie. If all the mods/admins have already voted and there is still a tie...then they will vote again amongst themselves, on only the tied images, to declare a winner. [So in a nutshell, in the event of a tie, the mods/admins will perform the tie-breaking.]
Thanks in advance for your participation (both nominating and voting)!

We appear to have a broken link on one of the submissions. Fox Paw's "San Francisco peaks" is only showing a red x.
Edit: Fox took a look, and it's now back. :cheer:

"I think you can vote right now...why not try it, and see?"
If you try to vote and receive a mild electric shock, that means there's a waiting period.

Come on guys....I'm not that dumb. If it would let me vote, I would have. Instead, I get this below the votes.
Voters: 13. You may not vote on this poll

Yes. I still see that same message (though not sure if the voting has closed now).

No, that's not it. The poll closes just past midnight tonight. I'll drop a PM to Terri to see if she can figure it out
