Sept '06 Challenge Photos - "In Flight"

TwistMyArm · Oct 1, 2006

I think it may be another close one this month. We have 26 great photos to vote on. Good luck to everyone!

In Flight

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.

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 favorite. Good luck to all. If there are any questions please let us know.

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 seven days.

Just a reminder folks we're trying to keep this anonymous including the voting. If you want to talk about which photos you voted on please wait until after the polls are closed.

3 seagull photos all with almost identical dimensions. I never want to be this person, but when I enter a contest, I expect everyone to have the same chances of winning. Can we please look into this? (Photos 4, 5, and 9)

I was saying that it looks like somebody submitted 3 photos into this contest.

Iron Flatline · Oct 4, 2006

Why, because the image dimension is 800x533? That's a standard size-down.

They were all submitted by different people.

This is a little mean spirited don't you think since 4, 5, and 9 are not close to winning. The worst thing that these contestants can be accused of is shooting a common bird, not cheating.
