Wrapped, Covered, or Packaged Vote

I must say, I think #9 is very unique, though there are a couple of others that I like as well. I just think that #9 looks like a great time lapsed photo, with the effect of a mercury bubble in the center of the town. It's not as colorful as another that I like, but it's the most unique of all of the photos in the finals. I hope others think as fondly of this photo as I do.

Out of the 15 pictures only six are on theme. #1 does it for me.

I want to thank those that gave me a "Like" for my little shop spider wrapping up a June Bug.

Again, I regret that I failed to see this thread in time to enter due to my hanging out in the Pentax Lounge so often that I hardly know what else is going on around this huge Forum.....and that free liquor and fat cigars do become addictive over there after a few years.....not to mention the naked dancing girls on Friday nights...when we can find them, which isn't all that often. I will try to be more attentive in the future to the photo contests here, although the chances of me ever having a winner or even a shot decent enough to post are somewhere between slim and zero....leaning mostly toward zero.....
Anyhow, thanks to those that gave me a thumbs up (Like)....I appreciate it and it "made my day"! Yes...I admit, it was just a lucky shot, but I take what I can get!

Best Regards!
Rupert

No. 15 is a very interesting photo, but how it got voted into the final is beyond me - I simply can not see how it relates to the theme.

Sure wish I had seen this earlier, but I guess I was busy running my mouth over in the Lounge and drinking all that free liquor while smoking those big fat cigars.....and missed an opportunity to show my little wrapped package.

I guess you can't do "Write In" votes here......but if you want, you can just give old Rupert a thumbs up for his "Shop Spider". That will be good enough for me!
I love this shot, what a pity you missed out: I don't think I would have been the only one to vote for it.

I'm newbie on pentaxforums, newbie in photography. I participated in this competition with a photo that I think is very much in the teme, spot on, right moment, right place and not the least - quite epic. I wasn't even thinking of not getting at least in the finals.

However, I'm disappointed to find that some finalist photos are not even in the theme (#15 which is otherwise a very good photo), some rather plain and uninteresting (no notion of right moment/place, #7 #11) or disturbingly obviously edited photo like #10.

As I said, I'm a newbie in this bussiness, I may not know how to do photos or how to criticise but here are my two cents:
- number of nominations proves (at least for me, but I doubt it) to be irrelenvant in some cases
- therefore, I suggest that some sort of a jury be made to see if the photos are in theme, if they make up to some quality standards etc.

I don't really care about this competition anymore as I'm most likely not to participate in the future. But please, save some frustration from future newbies like me when they join such a comunity, supposedly democratic and qualitative.

My vote goes for #5 for the interesting interpretation of the theme.
Compete, don't complain.

There are more images here (7 or 9) that have nothing to do with the theme than those which touch on it.

Although #13 is very colorful, I am voting for #9, bc it's very creative and artistic in form. It looks like a huge blob of mercury that is reflecting the city in which it is centered in. I love the time lapsed photography that captues the stars in the lighting, and the clear reflection of the city lights! #9 is much more creative than others in the finalists. Of course, I would have voted for my photo if it made it to the finals, but that isn't the case, nor is it as creative.
Great job to the photographer that took photo #9, and best wishes!

I voted for # 9; to me the most creative, unusual of them all; but I did have a hard time having my pick. I love #5 and # 10. #15 ??? what is it doing here.
