Number 31 shouldn't be in the poll because it was removed.

Activ · 06-19-2011, 11:03 PM

Thank you, fixed. Now if only I knew how to edit he poll....

rodi · 06-19-2011, 11:43 PM

i see what you did there.

signes · 06-20-2011, 12:17 AM

Edit -> Go Advanced -> Edit title

adrean8j · 06-20-2011, 04:04 AM

Remember you get multiple votes people!

remmib · 06-20-2011, 05:49 AM

I guess this is the biggest photo contest yet.

Might what to change the title to #37 and the correct name.

Really...because there are a couple on here that are just outstanding, IMO.

EDIT...I posted and can't go back now. Needless, I got my favorite marked anyway.

Chewy734 · 06-20-2011, 07:22 AM

wow, lots of excellent entries!

Chewy734 · 06-20-2011, 07:26 AM

I guess it should be a rule that we shouldn't vote for our own... from the next contest onwards. What do you guys think?

Activ · 06-20-2011, 09:50 AM

Title fixed haha! And Chewy I think that would be a good rule, I'm actually surprised it isn't already a rule

dcstep · 06-20-2011, 10:18 AM

Wow, 33 entries. Congrats on a great contest.

I'm going to vote for five.

signes · 06-20-2011, 10:54 AM

Interesting blend for this one between technical and aesthetic qualities. Some do well with one or the other but a few hit the mark on both. Good luck to all.

M_Six · 06-20-2011, 11:11 AM

Voted. And my entry was Bill the Cat, not Bill the Car.

Looks like rodi's non-entry bokeh example is going to run away with this one. Fitting, as it is (IMO) the best bokeh image.

Trooper9009 · 06-20-2011, 01:03 PM

This is the first time I posted my pic for a contest and so many entries at the same time...

Oh that wasn't his entry

Let me know if I should take it down. It was tough to tell what was a official entry and what wasn't

Chewy734 · 06-20-2011, 01:20 PM

rodi might want to clarify... it's possible he took a shot of his own ugly mug, but you can't be too sure.

I was wondering originally why he didn't submit that as his entry because it's a killer shot. If he did take that shot, I say let it stand.

Yeah, I thought that was odd, but I thought that maybe he took down his Sideways Bokeh entry, since it's not here. That one was really unique, BUT I think that a lot of voters would have missed the point.

vachss · 06-20-2011, 02:28 PM

I guess 11:50 is too close to 11:59.... Oh well. Best of luck to everyone.

rodi · 06-20-2011, 06:27 PM

ah, i just noticed that. it is my shot, but my first post in the submission thread with the tilt-shift was my entry. i posted this one as an example during the bokeh discussion. sorry for the confusion.
i don't care which one is in the poll, so whatever you guys want to do is fine.
