Wow, great shots and hard to choose!

[bt*ist]

Incredibly high-calibre work in this competition!

[Mike Bokeh]

They're all great photos, but I chose #4.

I'll reserve my vote for a good shot not a photoshot.
There are some great shots... Congrats to you all for being at the right place at the right time. Not at the right PC at the right time.

[Alfie1965]

Some fantastic shots here, I love the simplicity of numbers 3 and 17, and the emotion that eminates from number 50. There are some excellent "picture postcards" notably numbers 4 and 47, boy this was a hard choice! Excellent work everyone!

[daacon]

Excellent eveyone ! Great job, thought I had a chance hahah difficult descision for sure.

[jeepinandcamping]

It's a pretty good selection of fine images when you don't even vote for your own image, and I did not. I think it is contrary to the spirit to say which you like best here - so I won't list my votes, nor tell you which is mine.

Wish the EXIF data was displayed :-)

They are great works, #4 to me is too much and didn't look real. I'm in to the true looking photo. Play with in too much on a computor and you take away the life of the photo.

Wow!! I am soo with you on this Fl_Gulfer,

I'll be behind you waiting for that same shot!!

[HypnoCin67]

This was a really tough call! There are so many great entries, as usual! Good luck to everyone! Cindy

Yeah same here. I never look at the comments before voting.

[gawan]

I like 46 so much!

[hinman]

I have just put in my voting. It is a tough call as I have many favorites, at least 7 of them when I quickly glance over. I am sure the more that I view the pictures, the harder it will become for me to pick out the best three. I wish some of them are bigger size for better viewing to catch voters' attention. Some of the smaller ones are wonderful captures.

[Donation update:] I have a donation thread which I have not finalized the shipment method such as sending the gift to Adam as I can't find the Ultrapod II in three different REI store visits in December and Janurary. What I will end up doing is to get the 1st runner shipping address and order a copy online for the winner instead. If the winner resides in non-US location, I will need request for help with shipping cost. Hope the winner enjoys my gift to the contest and if you already have a mini-tripod or that the foreign shipment cost can't justify the gift value, winner can choose to yield to next runner up.

[Next month donnation:] Subject to how well I do in selling my unused gear, I plan to donate a Praktica Super TL 1000 film camera in pristine condition, the Pratica in that model shares the M42 mount in Pentax and I do have an inexpenive 50mm f/2.8 M42 mount to go with the gift for February contest. I hope others LBA victims come forth in the donation for putting us into higher gear for competition in a friendly and encouraging environment

What I do: As soon as the winner #1 is announced, please PM me for your mailing address and I order one for you with free shipment in US. If you are outside of US, I will need you to chip in for the shipment.
