[Heath Bennett]

Thanks MHD. Once again a well organised and hosted competition from you. Thanks for the opportunity.

[owen]

Congrats Heath, a very good image. Also Sydneywebcam a very nice and moody photo.
Thanks MHD for running the comp again.

[Alpha_7]

Congrats to everyone, especially the place getters. It's a little sad we could only muster 16 shots when we have such a large and active member base.

Well done to Heath, Owen and Sydneycam and to everyone that entered.

Thank you Scott for running the challenge again. I think the voting system is much better now.

Congrats Heath and to all the entrants for getting an entry in

[sydneywebcam]

Lovely portrait Heath, well done. I thought it might be a toss up with yours & Owen's.

I agree with Craig that it's a bit disappointing that there are so few entries with such a large membership.

Thank you Scott for organising it.

Cheers,
Paul.

Oops, very remiss of me not to thank Scott, he's a busy man yet he finds time to help us all out by running the challenges, and hosting them at his expense. Thanks MHD!

Congratulations Heath and everyone who entered.
Looking forward to Challenge #10.

Yes, after some experimenting I think we have found the best voting system now, this system was both easy and gave great differnetiation between place getters...

Stay tuned for comp 10!

congrats to the winners.

Congratulations to the winners.

An observation:
For this comp we had 16 entries- the equal lowest number with our very first comp and back then we had significantly less members - so what the hell were the rest of you doing? Why didn't you enter?

[Alpha_7]

It really wasn't a challenging theme either, it left it very open to interpretation.

Gone fishing!!!!!!

[johnd]

Actually Craig, I found it very challenging. I'm at the stage where I'm looking for some beautiful natural light for my shots, and I'm having a lot of trouble finding the shots. I think it's got something to do with my aversion to getting up at 5.30am.

Come on #10.

Cheers
John

[owen]

I knew the shot I wanted and eventually saw the opportunity and it turned out better than I expected. So it wasn't challenging in terms of thinking of an idea, but it was in regards to getting the shot.

[Glen]

Well done Heath and Owen, both great shots




As always, very well organised Scott, you really have these comps worked out. Liked the voting system

[birddog114]

Well done Heath and Owen, both great shots

You're too Glen,
Good shot of the moon.

Birddy, a subject I didn't think would get a lot of thought with people thinking daylight

[Greg B]

Congratulations Heath on a well deserved win, Owen and Sydneywebcam for coming close, and to all the entrants.

I just wasn't inspired by the theme. I look forward to the next challenge though.

So the pressure is on... I still get to choose the theme right?

Was it too broad ? What didn't capture your imagination ?

[rokkstar]

Congratulations to the two winners.

I've not entered due to a combination of not having the time to take any pics, and when I do they are crap! I'll definately make the time to enter the next one.

[TonyH]

Congratulations to all winners and all entrants for that matter.....

Maybe next time I'll not be so lazy and enter.....

Well done to everyone who entered and to Heath, Owen and SydWebCam too.

Great images all round.

[Alex]

Well done all the winners!! Great selection of shots this time.

[Big Red]

i went to have a look and see how i went ... not real good by the looks of it !
[forgetting to put in an entry probably didn't help ]

and congrats to all who remembered to enter, especially the winners
great pics !!

[Manta]

The theme for this comp has been blamed fro the poor turn-out of entries, despite a large number of members saying at the beginning that they felt the theme was a good one that would get the creative juices flowing.

I put several possible themes up for consideration but I'm sorry you didn't like the one that was finally approved.



Congratulations to Heath, the placegetters and all who entered.

[PiroStitch]

I wouldn't put the blame solely on the theme of the challenge.

Personally it was more a lack of ideas than a lack of time. Don't feel too bad about it Manta - half the challenge of the challenges is coming up with the ideas and the other half is capturing your ideas as photos.

Look forward to the next Challenge!

hi

congrats to the winners, well done. not sure why the kitty was not the winner?

looking forward to the next challenge, hopefully i will be a full member. would there be any prices?

[owen]

I think there were some great photos in this comp. Perhaps I'm saying what others are thinking but I think maybe the fact that there were no prizes deterred some people from entering? I'm not saying that there needs or should be prizes, but the fact remains that when there were prizes there were a lot more entries.

Anyway I look forward to hearing what the next theme will be.
