Number 9 is awesome!

pentaxphil · 02-16-2015, 09:49 AM

These are all images I'd love to have taken. However, number 2 is my favourite.

J'aime beaucoup cette photo pour cette magnifique rencontre énigmatique, surréaliste, on dirait un dessin, cela laisse une impression d'abandon.
Magnifique expression. BRAVO !
Choisir, c'est exclure...les autres photos sont aussi de très haut niveau.

I agree! I voted for this one too.

I stopped participating in voting for the pictures some time ago, because each one of them were so very awesome that it caused me great stress for days on end on making a decision and then I felt bad about my decision.

There are no losers here folks. This collection is the the best of the best of the best.

Could not handle the nomination process. Way too many good stuff.

Voting was even harder. After going through the 15 of them several times, I decided that choosing one was impossible, so time to start by knit-picking to eliminate.

First Elimination process; Aesthetics:
13 winners, two honorary mentions (with knit-picking, mind you).

2nd Elimination; Composition, Framing, Rhythm:
9 winners, 4 Honorary mentions (still knit-picking).

3rd Elimination; Technical merit, Post-Processing (Highlight/shadow details, DoF, focus, sharpness, etc.):
6 winners, 3 honorable mentions (K-P).

4th Elimination; Personal appeal (Subjective judging):
3 winners, 3 honorable mentions (knit-picking never ending).

5th elimination; randomly tossing a dart at the screen:
After replacing my 4k monitor, thought long and hard, "which of these three would I not put in my living room?"
Then I thought, "which of these two would my wife not want in our living room?"
Tough choice but finally made a decision.

My vote counted. I will follow the forum rules and NOT post here my choice. I selected in the poll.
