March Photo Comp - Voting

Another competition comes to a close now and voting starts here.

Zone has kindly made a thumbnail gallery of all of the entries here so, you can have a browse through all the entries more easily. Each pic is a link to the actual article on the forums so clicking each one will give you chance to have a look at all of the comments made. Alternatively, each poll otion above is a link to the article. Couldn't be easier!

Thanks to Si for that!

The voting will close on the 31st of the month, and, as usual, the winner will not only get to choose next months theme, but they will also win a 10x8 copy of their winning photo courtesy of www.fotoview.co.uk.

clearly, you can vote for yourself .... it just let me!

But if you mean you're not supposed to vote for yourself, that's an entirely different matter and you should have stated that at the top of the page. Tomson also voted for his own work, so I'm not exactly setting a precident here. Can we just assume, I voted for tommo, and he voted for me ..... lol

As every month a tough decision but in the end there was only one choice, had to be Tomson's pic. Brilliant composition and unlike anyone elses entry.

Oh and also, that was an excellent summary page Zone, made it really easy to check all the entries and make sure I hadn't missed one.

I have to agree - that sky is just amazing, like something out of a sci-fi movie.

smelly gets my vote on this one for a number of reasons. Firstly it's not an archive shot which unfortunately i think there have been too many of this month, secondly, it's in black and white and for a subject that suggests bright colours i think the use of black and white is brilliant. And, the third reason, it's not a sunset or sunrise, again there were a few too many of these this month and although the subject lends itself ideally to a sunrise/set, the difference in interpretation wins it for me.

Tomsons and pjclarke1's votes have been taken out of the results. Unfortunately they can't vote again.

Tricky... on a level playing field this would have been between Tomson's and Aliflack's for me...but both appear to be archive shots... so went for DJW as the best of the "for the competition shots".

His vote is still visible but if you count the other members who have voted for it this is the total number of votes showing

It still shows, but it doesn't count. Dunno why pjclarke's has disappeared though, maybe because it was the only vote
