#1 and #5 should be eliminated for watermarking. I like #1 very much. Too bad. I pick #9. HIppie_2000 has a good point. I don't like an overly intensified or artificial looking photo unless ones profession is in advertising.

I am new here so I would like to understand this for future submissions of my own.

From the rules that I read:

>>>To avoid voting bias, please do not watermark your photos with your username (but rather with your real name or website if needed)

So neither #1 or #5 contravened this rule...there is a watermark but it seems to follow the rule above. Can you please explain your reasoning behind their elimination?

>>>Do not specifically list which photo(s) you voted for or comment on others when commenting on the voting thread

So you yourself have broken a rule, does that mean that your vote should be disallowed?

Many thanks for your clarification on this matter.

If these are the rules as written then yes I am mistaken. The contest organizer may retract my vote.

I can't see the poll results. It gave me the option before voting (which I didn't), but not after!

---------- Post added 05-15-18 at 11:35 PM ----------

The best ones to me are:
#1, #2, #3, #5, #6, #8, #11, #12, #15.

Some of these, like the #2, #6 or the #12, are extremely beautiful and picturesque indeed, deserving even to be chosen for a postcard.

However for a photograph contest I'd probably choose other ones from the bunch more creative, unique, original or shocking.

It's really difficult and unfair choosing only one though when many deserve to be awarded.

I voted the #3 because of its perspective, colour, light, texture and subject/context. It has all the beauty of the others plus simplicity and creativity. I find it to be possibly the most creative of all (being the #5 in second place with regards to creativity, which is the one I voted on the first round) and this has been my criteria. If the author would have softened it up a little bit (less contrasty?) or, much better, captured fog, it would probably have resulted in more delicacy and close to perfection, perhaps.

But I could have chosen others too based on different considerations (I find the composition in others to be more picturesque or scenic -like the ones I earlier refered to- or delicate -like the #11 and the #15-, or whatever, but I find this one to be far more creative than the rest).

Nonetheless as I say it's really difficult and in my opinion most of the ones I listed top above deserve to win for different reasons.

Congratulations to the winner.

Many beautiful photos. I narrowed my choices to 1, 11, & 12. 1 because it was a unique picture. 12 because I love old-time "sail boats". 11 won my vote as I would gladly put it over my desk.

Excellent set of photos. However, #10 does it for me. A beautifully simple image.

I like 6 best. Too much Navy in me to accept a ship being called boat.
