[sheeny]

What a great competition this month!

Al.

[firstlight]

Sorry I couldn't have helped you, Al. I understand where you come from, happens to me al the time :sadeyes:, but there are just too many to choose from.

[astroron]

I have already voted Al so that puts me out of helping:P.
What a challenge,Twenty Eight people have voted and we are only four days into the month:scared:

[ian]

sheeny, i know what you mean ... not a single vote - should have voted for myself :) . but the colours of some of the other photos are really dramatic and eye-catching. not too worry, lets see whats the subject for next month!

[sheeny]

:lol:

Hey guys, I'm not after sympathy votes!:whistle: Just passing comment. It's been so cloudy here this month I really haven't had a chance to take a reasonable shot for this comp so this pic came out of the archives. I know the highlights are clipped in it so I wasn't expecting too much... but I keep checking just the same!:lol:

Congratulations Andrew (astro_south), you are our winner for May with your beautiful sunset landscape.
You get to choose this month's topic so what would you like it to be?

My congrats to all the other fine entries too, it was a good race and great to see so many entries.

:)

[iceman]

Very close race in the end with 2 very fine entries.

Congrats Andrew!

[h0ughy]

well done Andrew D, and also to the runnerup.

[lacad01]

Well done Andrew:thumbsup: All the entries this month were quite good.

[Dennis]

Congratulations Andrew (astro_south) on a stunning photograph – a deserving winner. In the end, a very close race with Andrew (RB) – another top shot too!

Well done to all who submitted their entries, it was a pleasure seeing each and everyone, irrespective of how many votes they polled.

Cheers

Dennis

[sheeny]

Congratulations Andrew - lovely shot! Commiserations RB it was neck and neck there for a while...

Great work everyone! Wonderful photography, and a close competition! (I just left my run a little late...:P:lol:)

Al.

[RB]

Congratulations Andrew !!

A well deserved win, what a great shot it was too.

It was a great competition all-round this month with a fantastic roundup of entries.

Some of my favourites included Dennis' knife edge, Houghy's, Ron's and Mike's sunsets, Roger's cave shot, Phil's waterfall and Troy's plane shot.

Too many to choose from this month but I throughly enjoyed all of them.

Well done.

:thumbsup:

[kinetic]

Ditto RB....great set of contributions and a deserving winner Andrew.
For me....there was just something I loved about Dennis' image too.
Vive la difference!
Great thread. Brings out the best in IIS people.

Steve

[astroron]

Well done Both Andrew's, it was a great competition,my first entry and I actually got some votes:D
The standard was very good and I look forward to seeing what challenge Andrew comes up with:thumbsup:

[RB]

I agree Steve, it was great to see a macro shot posted amongst the entries, especially considering the subject.

:thumbsup:

[MrB]

Congrats Andrew!
Ok so what's the new subject? :D
Itching to use my DSLR, just waiting on a Baader filter to arrive and then I'll get my focus back, will throw the point-n-shoot in the cupboard to gather dust!

[firstlight]

Great shot Andrew, one of my votes as well. Just too many to choose from... and here I was hoping that there might be 3 or 4 entries this month and I would have a shot ;).

At least I got a few votes :lol:.

Tony

[astro_south]

Thanks for the comments and votes all.

You had my vote RB with a great execution of the subject, infact it was great to see so many entries, so well done everyone :thumbsup:

On the subject of subjects :) , this has really tested my tired brain on a Friday night - particularly after the great choice from Stephen last month that has probably lead to the great response. I was tempted to say close up & macro, but have decided this month's subject should be .....

CURVES

....that should get you all thinking

[Photo Challenge]

Curves it is !

Excellent choice Andrew.

[MrB]

Nice.
Very nice.

Wonder if Elle will pose for me?

[acropolite]

Well done Andrew, good to see one I voted for get up. It's fantastic to see the increase in entries this month.:thumbsup:

[Dennis]

Thank you Andrew and Steve for those nice words, and to everyone who saw enough merit in the photo to give it one of their precious votes – it certainly was a difficult month for choices!

I was a little hesitant in entering this one; even though it was captured in May, it was based on a similar shot I had entered in a previous challenge. In the end, I couldn’t come up a new theme, so voilà!

Cheers

Dennis

[MrB]

I have to admit, I didn't vote for you Dennis because I thought it was the same shot.... after voting I went back through all the previous challenges until I found it and.... oops, it was different.
Sorry :doh:

[Dennis]

Hi Simon

No apologies required – how each person allocates their vote is quite personal and that is good as it ensures a good spread of voting.

I tend to rely on the stimulus of the challenge to get me out and about with the camera, but in this instance, the SE Qld weather forced me indoors so I just re-hashed an old idea! Different knife and date but same concept.

Cheers

Dennis

[StephenM]

I haven't looked at this thread for a while...

Well done to all the entrants, and congratulations Andrew on the winning entry!

Cheers,
Stephen
