Well that's another one over and done with, just the voting to go!

Thumbnail page is here to quickly check you haven't missed any.

As always a huge thank you for our sponsors for the prizes on offer here

The closing date for votes will be shown at the top of the poll and don't forget that all votes are public so no voting for yourself

Also if you have entered a picture then you are expected to vote, else all votes accrued by you will be disallowed

Important
The last forums update now allows guests to also vote and obviously this doesn't log a user name against the vote.
For any other poll this wouldn't be an issue but as we don't allow forum members to vote for themselves in the competition then I'm having to treat the fact that guests can vote a little differently!
Therefore can I ask that if you are already a member of AVF to please log in before voting, to those who lurk on the forums and wish to vote then please feel free to register before voting, registration is free and you'll be joining an invaluable and fantastic community.

To that end, any instances of guest voting will be discounted, sorry.

Umm nowhere to vote...

[Zone]

There is now

[SprocketRocket]

Jumpt_upmonkey for me. I love the expression on his face.

It was a close call though, other honourable mentions go to;
Zarozinia
Butch499
ZingyLemonade
Kevandalice

But I don't think there was a shot I didn't like to some degree this month.

Well done to everyone who got an entry in (on time).

[nikonuser11]

Mark Carline gets my vote this month, excellent picture

runner up for me was kevandalice very closely followed by tracymae and butch499 YET AGAIN

special mention to shotokan and liquid101 who's pictures wouldnt look out of place in the M&S canteen

Hope I can enter something next month, well done all the entrants for October

[jonnypb]

ZingyLemonade because it made me laugh.....

[Jonstone]

Kvandalice gets my vote this month.

Not only is it a good idea and well executed, but it also is only really possible because the medium was a plastic fork so bang on theme too.

[mark.carline]

ZingyLemonade caus it made me laugh !

[shotokan101]

Well it was really tough to choose this month - loads og great ideas captured very well - but I finaly went with Mark Carline's cross-polarised forks entry - very clever and original and captured well

Also loved tracymae's entry along with zarazinia and goso too - had a great laugh at zingylemonade's entry too - and.... and.... and....

Can't wait to find out the next topic

Jim

P.S. Cherokee - thanks for the mention - BTW they weren't just "any plastic forks" they were M&S...... LOL

[ZingyLemonade]

I enjoyed this theme. Very hard to select a favourite from some very good images.
For me though tracymae's entry shaded it

[Logrus]

Clear winner for me this month (see what i did there?)

Mark Carline, mostly because that was exactly what i was planning to do, except he executed it about 5 million percent better than i would have.
Congratz to all who managed an entry

[tonkie]

Again some great entries this month, when Plastic Forks was chosen as the theme I thought what the but as per norm, you all pulled out all the stops.

Anyway my winner was quite easy to pick this month as it was so different from the rest(the rest being different from each other) if you get my drift.

Back to my choose of winner, I picked it cause it was so natural and simple and not manufactured,so you've guessed it, my winner is Johnaalex

Well done to all

[OrbitalPete]

Really liked this competition - sad I haven't had a chance to a) find a plastic fork and b) get the camera out and put together the shot I was gestating.

Some great entries. Tracymae and existent both made my shortlist but the vote ahs to go to ZingyLemonade for something that really tells a story

[existent]

this was the most interesting subject so far for me. I have to say well done to everyone who were able to come up with a shot for this month.

For me, top 3 are ZingyLemonade, Jumpt_upmunky and kevandalice.

winner for me was ZingyLemonade.

[JimiAces]

Voted for liquid101 - I just like it

Now come on ! - what sort of hare brained sort of reason is that ? - "liked it" - I mean.....

Jim

[jumpt_upmunky]

Tough choices!

Liquid 101 - really nice leading lines and lighting
Paranormalist - has an almost "paranormal" feel about it because there's nothing else in the frame for reference it really confuses your eye, love it!
tracymae - lovely jelly colours with nice dof
zarozinia - a frog on a plastic fork! never thought I'd see that!

in the end psenior1 with a crazy idea of a fork stabbing a flower, great colours!

[Deadringers]

ZingyLemonade for me.

did like the one with the forks hitting the guys face! hehe got some funny looks from the gf!

all of the photos though are very good and i am mightly impressed with how professional they all look, nice work guys

[mark.carline]

God this is close!

ZingyLemonade: I propose a Duel - pistols at dawn ?

[Zone]

There are a couple of proxy votes to be placed, I'll hang fire and give the guys time to try and vote personally but if not I'll do the deed tomorrow

Mark - surely "Forks at Four AM" would be more appropriate ?

Jim

[Habanero]

I went for mark.carline as it brought colour to a world of white forks.

[weetsie]

butch got my vote this time but if not i would of voted zingyLemonade or zombane.

[Moosh]

Vote cast for ZingyLemonade simply because it made me laugh!

Cheers
Moosh

Double ditto

EDIT: Multiple ditto, I didn't read the whole thread

[Sniper Ash6]

Mark.carline has my vote

It came down to narrowing down between a fair few then was a final toss up between Zingy, Mark, Zarozinia, goso and Jumpt - so sort of wish i could vote for those as well

I see what Zombane has tried to do but dont think its as clear as it could be

The others are stll very good though

[Lewis201]

As with others, it was between mark.carline and ZingyLemonade for me. I've gone with mark's as there were a few things I would have changed with Zingy's. Plus, as someone said in mark's thread, that pic would make a great canvas which is just what he'll get if he wins.

OK cat amongst the pigeons time as both iandrews and Mart_73 are away at the moment and both asked me to place their votes when the time came and the both wanted to vote for...............drum roll!!!

ZingyLemonade

This is going to be a nail-biter!

Closing later this evening guys!

[SprocketRocket]

Ohhhh its close, but there is still time for me to make 21 individual logins and vote Sprocket rocket....

[Jonstone]

What happens if there is a draw?

Do they each get half a picture?

Or do we get a re-vote with only the two entries to pick from?
