Last call, April Challenge

[gstark]

Hey, people, it's almost April 30.

We have a number of entries, but you are doing yourself a disfavour if you don't get your entry in.

The prize is truly unique. Well, almost unique, but certainly exclusive.

Full details are here.

Ya gotta be in it to win it!

[surenj]

Entry sent. PM also sent to confirm.

entry submitted!

[Mr Darcy]

I posted an entry a week ago. How do I know it was received?

[gstark]

Greg,

Without asking me, you don't.

But you did, and now you do. (it was).

You too, Cameron.

Entry sent on the eve of the last minute.

[ATJ]

I had plans for a shot and even did 5 dives in April but, alas, I didn't see what I wanted to photograph. No entry from me.

Get yer red hots in!

Get yer red hots in!

Get yer red hots in!

Challenge closes at midnight tonight!

game on. entry sent, nothing like leaving it to the last minute

[gstark]

Entries are in and closed.

And I am very happy with the quality of what I see.

Not so much the quantity ... but that gives those who bothered to enter a better chance to win the prize.

Judging is starting; stay tuned.

As they say, "if it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done". And, "Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow". As you can see, I have more cliches than you can poke a stick at.

Patrick,

I generally choose to put off procrastination until later.

[Reschsmooth]

Gary, will there be a gallery of rouge to see soon?

Hi Patrick.

Yes. Hopefully tomorrow evening.

I'm just waiting for the three judges to complete their preliminary viewings, and then I'll post the gallery details.

Is that code for "waiting for Leigh?"

[gstark]

Is that code for "waiting for Leigh?"

Actually, no. Neither Leigh nor I are judging this time round.

Three virgin judges, as it were. And I've been given tinfoil-clad guarantees as to their purity.

[surenj]

Yes. Hopefully tomorrow evening.

Can't wait.

Interesting; but more relevantly, how does one become a judge of virgins?

I think you ask them to spell "Hi Men!"

Written on Monday. It's now Wednesday. Any update?

[surenj]

Very keen to see the gallery as well. The virgins better hurry up.

[gstark]

The virgins may need to be put to death!

One has completed his initial tasks, and the other two will be doing theirs on Monday and Tuesday nights. Oh, yes, I see the problem.

I'm sorry, but I would rather wait until they've all had their first look at the images before opening up the gallery. I'd hate to have their thinking influenced by any discussions here.

Not that this would happen ... but best to be safe.

I hate when virgins are not up to their task.

[Pa]

Is that Monday or Tuesday this week or next....

Ok ... the initial phase of the judging has been completed. Each of the judges selected exactly the same three images, but none of them in the same order as the others.

That's cool; I now have them in solitary confinement, on stale taco chips, bad salsa, and reruns of Question Time, until they agree on the order.

In the meantime, the image gallery lives here.

[surenj]

Thanks for that Gary.

Those are some nice water droplets by Gerry and Noise wine by Greg!
