by far the hardest contest to judge yet. stunning entries.

I'll vote later in the week after several more passes thru.

Good luck to everyone, I voted for three of them.

I'm so mad that I waited until the last day to submit and then I missed the deadline because I was so damn busy Saturday.

Wisc Badger

god... where are all the people who kept telling me to keep my baseball pic?

1 vote so far and its probably from my own mother.

Thanks for all the compliments folks.

Have there been any rules of thumb used for setting up the contests? None are coming to my mind at the moment. I already have an idea in mind for contest 16. It's going to be one of those "active participation" sorts of things kind of like how the HDR contest was so I was thinking it might be good to make sure there's two weekend's worth of time built in. For example, if we officially opened on next Monday 10/22, submissions would end the evening of Sunday, 11/4? What do you think, too long? I could actually cut loose with number 16 sometime tomorrow but I was just assuming we didn't want to go back-to-back.

Wisc Badger

sounds good to me

Congratulations Billiam! I love your photo!



2 weeks is definitely not too long, in fact, many have gone more like a month. I would love to actually be able to shoot something new for this one, so yes, at least 2 weeks please.

Oh, & I doubt any of us mind back to back contests a bit. It's all for fun!

Dan Martin

Congrats billiam! Looking forward to the next one...

FYI - I'm going to start writing up contest 16. If anyone wants to discuss it here first, chime in. Otherwise I'm just going to post it up later this afternoon.
