Photo Challenge Voting Poll - December 2010 - "Open"

[Chris of Arabia]

Which is your favourite?

Dec 2010 Photo Challenge Gallery

WARNING: This gallery appears not tbe behaving itself in terms of its sort order - frankly, it's all over the place, so if you're picking from there, make sure you note the image number very carefully before voting. You will also see that the thumbnails are all the same - the full size images are just fine though...


Note: As always, it is well worth looking all of the images at their full size, as the thumbnails really don't do some of them all that much justice.

You may notice that in the gallery some files appear larger then 150KB, but every photo included was less then 150KB when uploaded to the gallery.

To ensure that voting remains fair only active participating members of the forum may cast a vote. New members may not be able to vote right away in a challenge due to restrictions that have been put in place. If you cannot vote, but believe that you should be able to, feel free to send a pm to myself or another TPF staff member.

Please keep in mind that we are trying to keep this challenge anonymous (and unbiased) when it comes to both the submitting and the voting. Please avoid sharing your opinions about any specific photos until after the voting has completed and the winner is announced.

Please read the titles carefully in order to avoid confusion before voting. The photos may not be sorted in the correct order so to ensure you view them in proper order scroll to the bottom of the page and where it says "Display Options" ensure you select Sorted By: "Image Name" Sort Order: "Ascending" and then click on the "Show Images" button.

After viewing the photos please take the opportunity to vote for your favourite. Good luck to all. If there are any questions please let us know.

The mods/admins of ThePhotoForum.com may decide the winner from the top five submitted photos. The winner of the photo challenge will be contacted by Private Message (PM) on the day that the winner is announced. If the winner does not respond to the PM within 30 days they will not receive their prize and it will be put towards a future challenge. If we are unable to ship the intended prize to the winner do to his/her location we will provide another prize of equal value.

The polls will be open for the next fourteen days.

There's still plenty of time for more votes. Given the number of entries made for this Challenge, the ones we have are very evenly spread, so this one could go any direction. Keep it going

[Chris of Arabia]

There are 4 days left, so keep those votes coming in, there's nothing to separate the leading runners

The images arn't showing up for me.

The images arn't showing up for me.

Ya it seems the gallery has disappeared or just moved :S

[v3nom]

Are the images stored somewhere other than here? I wanted to vote but ive seen so images to vote on.

[Chris of Arabia]

Well it would seem that the gallery software that I'd been using to post the images from was a security risk inside vBulletin, so the owners had to move to plug the weakness. Fortunately, it was around long enough to get the voting done with sufficient credibility to the result, so I'll get the announcements sorted in a while and get the top 3 uploaded again to the new gallery software, so people know what won. Back in a bit.

[Chris of Arabia]

And at long last, now I know how the new gallery software operates, here are our winners...

In 1st place we have Jonathanmphotography



In 2nd place we have Scotch59 with:


In joint 3rd place we have...
