Challenge Gallery

Postby gstark on Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:40 pm

Challenge Gallery Open

While we haven't quite swept the floors in the judging room, we have progressed far enough down the judging path to a point where I am comfy opening up the gallery for y'all to visit, peruse, ogle ...

and very definitely enjoy the images that have been submitted.

The gallery lives here.

Please feel free to offer your observations, critiques, comments etc within this thread.

Winners will be announced at the Sydney BBQ at Sheepie's this Saturday. Not all of the expected prizewinners will be there, but several are expected. ;)

Mid-month Madness

Take some photos. Have some fun.

What a concept, eh?

Wholy guacamole! All I can say is that everyone that entered should be VERY proud of the effort they went to. The quality of most of these images is absolutely outstanding.

I would have to say this would be one of (if not THE) best presentation and quality of 'work' I've seen since the forum's beginnings, and I have not yet finished viewing all images!

Makes me proud to be a member here...well done people!

Cool pics guys - looking forward to seeing the results. PS: I just noticed that we can rate the photos - just checking if that does anything?

And I can now announce that we have completed the judging processes ...

And the winner is going to be announced at Leon's on Saturday afternoon.

Thank you Matt and Leigh for your assistance, and to Glen and Jeff for your valuable contributions.

Will you be doing a simultaneous web announcement for those that won't be there ?
