Member's Choice Photo Contest, November 16-30, '09 -VOTING Thread

[MissMia]

This is the nomination thread for the biweekly photo contest, for pictures posted on the forum from November 16th to 30th, 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 December 3rd 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)!

Holy wow...I feel sorry for the people who have to vote on this month.

[MissMia]

The voting will begin on the evening of Dec 3rd. There is still time to nominate images! :)

[KMann]

Holy. This is going to be tough.

[MissMia]

I'm sorry for the delay! The voting is now open and will close in 4 days.

[Terri]

Voted! :salute:



....another toughie, too....grumble, grumble ;)

[icassell]

I hate this. Can I pretend I'm in Chicago and vote several times?

[Antarctican]

^^^ Heehee, I second that suggestion! What a great bunch of photos. It's sooooo hard to pick just one. But that's why they pay us the big bucks.


(What's that you say? We're not getting paid? Oh, ermm, never mind then)

[KMann]

Congrats Ms ... that was a tough choice, among such a group of winners.

Can you imagine your photo as a jigsaw puzzle? LOL! It sure rocks.

[Antarctican]

Congrats to Miss Mia! (and to all the nominees).

[Fox Paw]

Congrats, MissMia! Terrific photo.

[Terri]

Congrats! :D

[icassell]

Woo hoo! Congrats to Christina and all the rest. A difficult choice yet again.

[invisible]

Congrats Christina, and good call KMann on the jigsaw puzzle!

[MissMia]

Thank you! There were so many great photos to vote for! :goodvibes:

I actually received a print of that photo today. I had it printed on metallic paper and it looks fabulous!

EDIT: That would be a difficult jigsaw puzzle! I'll have to look into that.

Congratulations :) Metallic paper, never heard of that before, is it like shiny wrapping paper?
