Take a look at the entries Here (external link) and vote for the BEST THREE photos that you feel meet the theme.



After you vote, please take a moment to do the following:



Please comment on the photos you vote for.
The participating artists have worked hard on their entries and would
love to know why you chose their photos. Hearing your opinions makes
the contest more fun and rewards the photographers with valuable
feedback.




Official Information:

* The poll will remain open for 10 days - until the 10th of September.

* You can vote for 3 (three) photos. Remember you need to vote for all
3 photos at the same time. Once you have voted, you may not change or
add votes.

* Your votes will be public.

* Please do not vote for your own photos or invite your friends to
register and vote for you. This is considered cheating and will be
taken very seriously by the moderation team. See herefor more information.

* I will announce the winners shortly after September 10th.

SO many good entries in this contest. I found it very difficult to pick only two beyond my first choice (ALC), which caught my eye from the time it was entered.

I voted for:
ALC - the colors, texture and lighting in this are fantastic. Very well done. :D
Macro Metal Spider - this is simply too cute! So creative!
Snipped - macro with a message - LOVE it.

I had a hard time as well. I voted for 8: elegant, simple- just something about it I really liked. 6: Love the dark background (as with 8 as well) and the rust/metal contrast. And 15: To me it just felt like the chain was moving; I liked the soot/ash particles clinging to the chain as well.

Great work!

I voted for:
1.Linked because I really liked the simplicity of it.

2. ALC because it does really say metal and reminds me of my lock picture that I should have used here instead of in the absract contest:rolleyes: :mad: :)

3. The Quiescent Rose because it has a really creamy metal feel throughout with no overexposed highlights and a good name.


Do whats right HERE

How do we go about getting "Sticky" status for this poll?

These three just made me take a second look and appealed to me this morning:

Linked - overall composistion and clarity
Curlz - can pinpoint why I like it, just do
Shift 1 - I like the contempory look the angle of this shot gives

It was hard narrowing it down to just three entries but these are the ones i settled for:

Grating - Rats! you beat me to it. i actually thought about taking a picture of the same thing... lol. really good job!
Macro Metal Spider - Lots of creativity went into this one.
Snip - I think its a good photo and i like that it comes with a message.

I voted for The Wisk because the two crossed bars and all the fan shape under them is almost 3D to me. The lighting is great also.

I voted for Linked because of the simplicity of it, and it is well done in regards to dof and lighting

Grating got my vote, I don't know why. It is just an appealing photo.:lol:

We need sticky status to get more votes.
