Congratulations to All, I think the standard of entries thus far are higher then in any other challenge we've had. And we have some very creative minds at work behind the lens too!

Actually one of my first thoughts is a collection of images like this would not be out of place in a gallery like the MCA....

Wow, some of the lighting and composition is amazing. There is certainly a large amount of artistic creativity in this forum.

Good luck to whoever wins, it will be a close one i suspect...

great work

my favorites are e******


may i ask why the competition thread is not pin to the board? it took me a while to find the gallery at th end i have to ask(me been blind againg :( )
Also could i ask (suggest) if the main winner or top 3 get mention or their winning photo get posted on the front page. not sure if is done before? but i think it will great to have some advertising for the winner as well for the sponsors.

After the announcement of the winners, we usually have a special threads for them and in the announcement section + other thread as statitic of all the others photos in voting and all the runner-up.


but i think it will great to have some advertising for the winner as well for the sponsors.

Beyond amazing. Far and away the highest standard I have seen in any comp here. Any ideas I had have now been trashed... :oops:

I just though that it will be nice to have some photos of the winning photos on the front page. sorry, it was just a suggestion :(. Thanks for clarifying the other suggestion/question.
