This is the nomination thread for The Beat's bi-weekly photo contest, for pictures posted on the forum from February 1st to 14th, 2011 inclusive. Members may nominate up to three photographs posted by others during this time period. You cannot 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 ineligible.

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 screen name of the photographer

On the evening of February 17th, 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, everyone, for your participation (both nominating and voting)!
