I just got back from a mini vacation in New Port R.I. and I'm in a good mood which means that anybody who submits photos to my contest can put in a total of 10 shots

I better button up my shirt--my wife says my heart is falling out.

The 2 babes at the bar are nice but the guy with the sunglasses has me worried especially with his hand in his pocket.

Hey Charlie, can you enter your own contest?

I'm sure that guy's not doing anything weird.

JeffJS · 08-11-2010, 04:31 PM

The Beginning.....

Different day but the ending is always the same. After I've had mine, he gets his...

or if you prefer...

I'll reserve the 5th photo for later.

Don't take this the wrong way, as it is your contest, and you can do as you wish, but my thinking is that if you originally said 5 pics, then you should stick with it. Seeing as it's just a fun contest, it doesn't make that much of a difference, but if it was something big, and the rules changed in the middle, most people would be annoyed with something changing mid stream. I'll just be entering 5.

Again, I mean no disrespect, and you can do what you want. Just pointing something out to keep in mind for any possible future contests you may offer.

This is number 5 and 6 for me
This a pumpkin pie eating contest just before they weighed the giant pumpkins

Thanks for your input.One of the main reasons that I opened it up to 10 pics is that some people submitted 3-4-5 at a time and probably wished that they had held back a bit since the contest has one more month to go.I hope by expanding it a bit that it gives people a little more lattitude with their various selections.If it were me out there entering I would take it as a mulligan to my benefit since it would give me the opportunity to showcase 5 more of my favorite "food" shots.--charliezap

I know one thing for sure, you've got your hands full for the judging. It will be interesting to see the results, and hear how you fared.

So -- the gauntlet has been thrown down, eh? I can cough up 5 more, but now I will have to dig through negatives & dust off the scanner.

Actually the judging process is quite simple.What I do is download every picture into a special file and every now and then I view them as a slide show and keep some and eliminate some and by doing this I have a good handle on the best pictures to choose from when the contest deadline is drawing near.My next contest I may have unlimited entries but let's get through this one first.--Charliezap
