is300eater

can people see who voted for who?

srika

moeronn

We can't see that you only voted for yourself

Dan Martin

For a tricky subject, there were some really good entries in this contest.

is300eater

Oh, I wouldn't do that... nawhhhhh

LKLD

I do believe that a single vote will speak for itself

Multiple votes....well, that's another thing

waTSX

How do I vote more than once?

moeronn

Looks like the voting will be fairly close.

You can only vote one time, but you can - or could have - vote for more than one picture.

danny25

we should move this to the main Ramblings, it got a lot more responses there last time.

moeronn

Probably a good idea. Mods?

Although, I actually liked the one you posted in the other thread better, this is also a great shot.

Congrats!

Also, congrats and thanks to everyone that entered. And thanks to Srika for the theme!.

wndrlst

Congrats is300eater! Great photo!!

srika

nice work is300, nice shot! looking fwd 2 the next one! maybe waiting so long was actually not the best idea, lol. at least for me, it kinda made me procrastinate even MORE than I would have otherwise, somehow lol.

is300eater

thanks everybody... I have to admit though... I have to give credit to Frank Gehry... the building itself is a work of art... I don't think it can get anymore "Architectual Abstract" than that. I was lucky that I got there that day as the sun was setting... I was so pissed about the Saints losing to the Bears, I didn't even care about the Patriots/Colts game... my GPS showed that I was able to get to downtown L.A. from my parents' house in 30 minutes... so I just took off for it.

Thanks everybody for voting... There were some tough competition. I went back looking at some of the past contests, and the few that I looked at... all had one runaway picture.... but I really thought either "Level 5" or "Gateway" was going to catch up, maybe a 3 way tie. I'm NOT going to admit which one... but there's a pic that I actually liked better than mine...

...so, how much time do I get to come up with the next theme? I have a couple in mind, but not sure if they are interesting enough...

is300eater

thanks, yeah, it was a toss up between the two... I, actually, had more that I was torn between... which I'm going to post now in that other thread....

congrats is300eater!

you better frame that pic now.

i'm ready for the next theme!

srika

Obviously everyone has their own interpretation of words, and, the theme I chose, at least by the wording, wasn't the clearest of things (as alluded to by the 2nd post in the original thread.) For what it's worth, when I thought of this theme, what I had in mind was taking (possibly ordinary) architectural elements and portraying them in abstract way(s). An "abstraction" of architecture. But I know it was pretty vague so I'm not surprised with the varied results. But I think if I could do it over again, I would have tried to clarify that better. I don't really have a point here, so don't try finding one. :P

thats kinda how i ended up there on superbowl sunday, i was at my friends place at UCLA, and left 30 minutes or so after the game and headed to santamonica beach to take pictures, i was like hmm... wonder how far the walt disney concert hall is from here, so i asked tom tom and he said it wasnt that far so off i went.

I think you can start it yourself. Just copy one of the previous threads and edit it.
