I just voted and now noticed who all submitted all the great photos. I have a question though....does the person who won the previous contest also submit a photo to the subject that they chose? No offense wndrlst, your photos are great and you have such a canvas to work with, but it seems a bit odd to me to include the winner from the previous contest, but as my wife would so gladly point out....I've been wrong before.......many.....many times

Mizouse

yea i think that the past winner should be disqualified for the next round so as to give other people chances

i think it's perfectly fine...it's not like one person keeps winning and its not like its for money or anything...just Azine fame. It's all for fun!

oh and you can't win if you don't enter

srika

yeah its totally fine. its like that one dude on Jeopardy that kept winning.. hey, when youre good, youre good - and the burden is on the other people to do better!

Mizouse

or maybe they wont bother to try

Osamu

yay, multiple votes! I can't decide.

I liked JL's only because I know all the effort that went into it
and I want whiskers to win only because I'm really curious what he would choose for the next theme.
dang it

wndrlst

I haven't been participating long, but I believe IS300eater submitted to his own juxtaposition theme...could be wrong. If you guys want to poll this question for future contests, that's cool with me...

jupitersolo

Let's keep this a fun contest, EVERYBODY gets to play, if they want.

JLatimer

^^
I agree. Dont take it too serious - that spoils the fun...

Now if wndrlst wins just because her legs are nicer than mine... That is a problem.

srika

it wasn't about that..

EuRTSX

I think everyone knows who I voted for...




But..that picture Whiskers put in... I couldn't stop laughing

Scottman111

I voted for Crazy88, wndrlst, and JLatimer



And JLatimer, I guess you were trying to attract some rainbow trout with that shirt?

cl_jay

IMO, it's absolutely ok. This is just for fun.

FWIW, I voted for wndrlst and virus.

srika

totally just for fun. I too love Whiskers pic, I voted for it.

moeronn

Some great entries here. Good job to all who posted.

And while Whiskers is funny, isn't that picture a chop?

wndrlst

Yeah, technically I should have left that one out...

congrats wndrlst and good work Crazy88. see you guys for the next contest

wndrlst

Thanks for all the votes! I enjoyed seeing what people came up with! I'll a new topic. Any suggestions, Crazy88?

PPLAPW

^ You won twice..... hmmmm

Good job,

and virus7; that is an awesome pic same for crazy88...

Mizouse

maybe a topic more straight forward this time?

wndrlst

:sigh:

There's a general feeling of negativity about this whole thing for me, which I can live without. I will bow out of choosing the next topic.

Crazy88, are you game to choose?

Mizouse

nnooo i wasn't trying to be mean

wndrlst

No, it's really okay. I'm not upset, but since the question was raised about my even participating, I've just felt kind of meh (for lack of a better word) about it. No sweat.

wndrlst, please don't feel any need to pass on your win. your pics and themes are great! we need people with ideas and talent.

I for one need that abstract theme cause that's the pics i like to take

JLatimer

C'mon gang. If it loses the fun for wndrlst - or anyone for that matter - we are taking it too seriously...

I like the challenging themes since it forces you to take a new photo instead of just digging one out of the library.

danny25

Don't let that get to you, it was brought up by one person out of how many? Everyone else wants you to participate, that should tell you something.

waTSX

Congrats on the win wndrlst. It's a very well thought out shot. Definitely high on the creativity meter, and that's what it's all about.

moeronn

You wouldn't have won if it were otherwise. The pick is yours. Congrats!

Moog-Type-S

Where be the winner's pic?

danny25

It was on the first page... but now says pic is unavailable

Street Spirit

:troutslap

Pick a theme, woman! You won!....

srika

No doubt. We are all here in support of you! You had a great pic, and the results showed it! That's all! Don't let the negative feedback of one person bring you down - it's just not worth it. Photography is SUCH a fun and creative outlet, it really disheartens me for things to come down to this. Let's continue having fun with this! What's wrong with a winning streak!! It's good!!

Yes I know I didn't enter this one but that had nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I didn't come up with an entry in time.

Mizouse

hey it wasn't just me that brought up the idea

im going to keep my mouth shut from now on




anyways awesome picture and congrats on winning

srika

Furthermore, I don't think we should let someone who can't tell the difference between the word "Bear" and "Beer" vote.. :P
