Some great images in this comp. Along the lines of what PW was saying, not being offended by the voting scores of your entries. For those who entered and at the end perhaps find out why someone voted really low on your image - it was me! Sorry, but I was extremely cruel to quite a number of them in voting...

There are some entries which were outstanding images, but related poorly to the theme as I interpret Cartier-Bresson's definition of "Decisive Moment" to be. It may have been an over reaction on my part, but I judge fulfilment of theme first, and the image second. This means that a technically flawed image that fits my interpretation of CB's definition of the theme I scored higher than maybe a great image which didn't fit the theme as well.

Some may have interpreted the theme as wide ranging and fairly open - well, I'm not one of those people. I took the theme in the photojournalistic sense of what I thought Cartier-Bresson meant by it. Sorry, don't take it personal...

by **Alex** on Wed Jul 27, 2005 7:21 pm

I second that, Onyx. I must say I did not enter myself simply because I could not get a theme related image. Out of presented entries, I could probably only relate 2-3 images directly to the theme and may be another couple indirectly.

Is Challenge 5 closed for entry submission?

by **Nnnnsic** on Wed Jul 27, 2005 11:42 pm

Yes sir-ree Bob... since midnight Sunday... which is actually midnight Monday.

Afraid so Andoru... It closed on Sunday...
You can still have the pleasure of voting though...

by **Andoru** on Wed Jul 27, 2005 11:59 pm

Bugger! Must had been half asleep.

O righty I shall vote before the deadline.

by **MHD** on Thu Jul 28, 2005 1:13 pm

about 40 Votes per image now.... Still VERY close! Less than 0.5 seperates 1st from 6th....

Interesting voting trivia for today:
3 people think the the 6th placed entry should be framed and sold...
6 people think... "Its a picture"

Talk about divided opinions!!!

Going to be announced at our AW dinner on the Saturday night.

by **MHD** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 5:35 pm

43 votes per image now...

STILL INSANELY CLOSE!
Every vote counts!!! I'm not kidding your vote WILL (as things stand at the moment) decide who wins the comp!!!

VOTE NOW!

When will the winners be announced on the forum (for all those people that cannot make it to the AW) ??

by **Nnnnsic** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:36 pm

Sunday night more than likely... we'll probably have the event streaming (hopefully) and I'll be sure to make the post (if I'm controlling the stream) telling who won.

by **leek** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:37 pm

Just as a matter of interest... When with the owners of the pics be revealed??? After voting finishes, or after the result is revealed???

Sunday night OR Saturday night ??

by **Nnnnsic** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:46 pm

Usually after the voting's finished.

by **Nnnnsic** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:46 pm

Sorry, I meant Saturday night. :oops:

by **Aussie Dave** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:55 pm

I'm sure everyone who entered Comp 5, and can't make it to the AW will be tuned into the forum to see the winners post !

by **Nnnnsic** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:00 pm

Especially if we can get the streaming going... imagine the speeches that'll be said... if we can get some form of IRC going... we'll be able to have someone say it for you!

Well.. that's a long call... but hey... it's a hope!

You legend.....

by **Nnnnsic** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:39 pm

Like I said, "if"...

But we have high expectations that we'll be able to rig something for it this weekend, especially with the help of wireless broadband...

I'm going to do some testing with a Flash Streaming Server as well as VLC... we're just going to try it.

If it doesn't work, we'll record it and put it online for Sunday or late Saturday night, but working on getting it streamed even in a thumbnail size with decent audio - just some level of streaming - is the target.

Website · by **embi** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 9:06 pm

So if the winner isn't there will there be a phone link for speeches??

by **johndec** on Sat Jul 30, 2005 9:46 pm

Well I did it... voted that is. I feel a bit guilty as I gave some very low marks to some very good pics, because I couldn't see the theme in them in any way,shape or form. :oops:

Makes sense to me.

I just found this....I think its the best understanding of The decisive moment I have come across.

Cartier Bresson was the supreme master of the decisive moment – capturing a split second of human behavior with meaning, and then integrating that moment into a geometrically inspired composition that intensified the meaning of the story.

I need to change my votes :cry:

Do you have anything you think would help?

Feels like the build up to the main event at the restaurant at the end of the universe.... :lol:

by **HappyFotographer** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 12:47 pm

acckkk....got my votes in.

Good luck everyone!

by **Aussie Dave** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 12:51 pm

I feel like something's missing.....perhaps we need people hanging around with leaflets asking "Hi, who are you voting for today ? Take this, it will show you how to submit your votes"......

Maybe the federal gov. should start holding their elections online ??

Whoops...sorry. Can't believe I just turned this into a political event...

C'MON everyone....only 9 mins to go

by **Aussie Dave** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 12:58 pm

......."drumroll please......"

T minus 59
58
57
56.....

by **leek** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:01 pm

Boom - Tish.... :-)

Can we speak freely about the entries now?

by **rokkstar** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:06 pm

I guess we can.
Now we have to wait a whole week to find out which lucky sod has won!!!

by **PlatinumWeaver** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:06 pm

I can still vote ( 12:06 ) so I don't think it's a good idea to talk about them yet...

You might trash talk my picture and then I'd have to work out what yours was and downvote it..

OK - agreed...
I'll see you after yum-cha and the Fantastic Four then... :-)

by **PlatinumWeaver** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:14 pm

Okay - I'm going out for Yum Cha later today so your comment was mildly disturbing.. I thought my itinerary had become public knowledge or something...

Enjoy the food.. good luck with the movie..

by **darb** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 3:12 pm

i cant see the owners? i thought that info came out at noon WST today?

by **MHD** on Sun Jul 31, 2005 3:18 pm
