Thanks to everyone who submitted photos. We have a smaller crop of photos in this round then for the landscape contest, but I'm completely blown away by the quality of the shots. :D

I don't think there's any need to have muliple rounds with this vote so, as a compromise, I am going to allow each person to vote for two photos. Note that this means your votes are public.

View (http://www.pbase.com/sam_blackie/potnabstract&page=all) the photos here

Good luck everyone!

Voting:

There will be only one round of voting
Voting in will last for 7 days.
You may vote for a maximum of two photos. The board software requires that your vote is public in this instance.
While we want to keep it fun, this contest is a little more serious then our usual ones, so please do not discuss any of the photos until voting in the final round has closed. I'm really keen to ensure that no-one feels the contest was biased against them.

Well not many people have voted, so don't worry... it's probably just a numbers thing! :D

Voting closed.

This contest was slow to start, but we had a real rush of entries at the end. Results as always:
1st - #11 'Stairs' by Big_B
2nd - #4 'The Hallway' by ovidiu.n
3rd - joint for:
#14 'Swirl' by megapic
#17 by kawter2

Well done everyone :D


One a separate note, there is just one thing that I would like to make clear about the voting. When voting for my choice, I clicked the wrong button and ended up voting for my own photo. I cancelled my vote immediately, but wasn't able to remove my name from the list. So if you click on the number of votes associated with #11, you will see 11 names (including mine) but only 10 votes are recorded. Obviously, since I cancelled my vote, this doesn't have any impact on the result, I just wanted to clear up any potential confusion.

Congratulations Big_B! I thought that yours was definitely the deserved winner (and one of only a few 'abstracts' in there).
