Water Contest - 08-14-2008, 08:35 PM


OK. I'm 14 days behind schedule, due to me being busy taking images. So here is the images..

I provided a flash style link here
Water Contest

Here are the images, and they are in random order from what I have received and I stripped the EXIF info, so no cheating by right clicking.

I normalized the images to all be no bigger than 1024 wide or tall.













Monthly Challenge II.
Take a shot of WATER. -Theme

Water is currently near the top of concerns here in California, right after gas and housing issues. Water however, is the one crucial item that every creature that lives in or on this planet needs. So WATER is the theme and showing how it is needed, used or transported is the goal. Obviously, the image has to be taken in the month of JULY 2008 and is due July 31st, 2008 11:59pm PST. Time based on this server Also you must have full EXIF info and provide a description of your idea.

Voting by the public of course.

I'll offer a PRIZE for the best image the will be a Bogen-Manfrotto Super Clamp.
(Yeah cheap prize but very useful)
I'm SURE Abel can set up the voting. (Yes I'm twisting your arm Abel)

If you notice, it's not July yet, so you should have a few days to think of an idea.

Good Luck.

-Scott

Okay folks. The polls are closed.
There is a clear winner, and I know which photo it is, but I don't know who took that photo.
Yeah, apparently it wasn't mine. :p

So Scott, Let us know who won!

CONGRADULATIONS TO "G" which belongs to Crystal Jackson, who not only won the contest here, but I also had these images posted in several other private forums. She smashed the closest person, which was image “B” with the internal voting 53 to 39, and here, it was 11 to 3. Image "D" was 31 for 3rd place at my place and image "C" was 3rd here.

Everyone stated that the two top images were the most unexpected images and the most creative. With the other forums, there was an intense argument over artistic value of the images. The argument was between D & B and the results shows who won that heated battle.

Congratulations Crystal. I was afraid if there were one more vote, it would be a 9 way tie...
