Yup and the votes are pretty close at the moment...

It is nice to see that the distribution of votes is much better this time around. Anyway, I've voted now so thought I'd share some thoughts on a few of the photos.


17 - I really like the delicate exposure and the use of negative space. However, I'm not sure why that stick is in the bottom of the photo.

10 - A great idea and got my vote, but I think it could have been greatly improved with a couple of small changes. I think the photo would have been much more striking if a stainless steel knife had been used - the glint of light would have conveyed the sharpness of the blade.
Two other minor nitpicks - I would have liked to been able to see the point of the knife and a plain backgound would have been better.

11 - Great expression!

The new voting system is great, agree with you on that one...
Some good and HOT images in this one...

19 - that hose is *really* small !!

17 great photo, the exposure time worked nice with the moving flames. I may have liked the background a bit darker to hide the weber handels, perhaps also a tighter crop. Just my .02. This was my favorite of the field.

3 Great moment captured, the expressions and the water. Nice candid shot.

13 I love wild life photography and this is a nice shot.

Congratulations everyone. A stunning set of photos and it's nice to see a fairly even distribution of votes as well.

However, there were three clear favourites:
1st - #17 'Glowing Ashes' by superfly
2nd - #6 'Summer Eve' by G3Owner
3rd - #2 'Marsupial Sunrise' by boutty

Well done all!

Remember, contest #29 is advertising. A very challenging topic but I hope one you'll all take part in anyway. Good luck.

Congrats to SuperFly & G3Owner! Well captured photos. Big thanks to Big_B for hosting the contest. Cheers to everyone voted for me!:p

Congrats to SuperFly!

Big Congrats to Superfly, G3Owner and Boutty. Well done guys!

I didn't get a chance to vote but #19 gets my distinction, it's a great photo journalistic shot with good comp and did a good job of meeting the topic. Can't believe it didn't get more quotes, quality isn't 100% but I didnt think it mattered.
