Pic of the week game

[dorkburger]

Voting for KillRamsey. Great shot.

[Redman]

Some nice pics, some dont really say "spring time of year" to me.

Three got my attention for top consideration.
At first KR's pic of bike with orchard blossom in background (and mountain top in background) picture, was too much about the bike, with the blossoms so much out-of-focus. But the more I looked at the three pics, the more I liked KR's pic, and it does say "spring time blossoms", so that put it back in top consideration. Pretty much a 3 way tie in my mind.
Am wanting to welcome KR, so will use that as a tie-breaker and vote for KillRamsey.

I do welcome KR to the game.
Good, give some of these other guys some more competition. (I was out-classed long time ago.)

[kerrfunk]

I, too, will vote for KillRamsey. Beautiful picture, with the trees in blossom as only in the spring. I love the depth of field.

My honorable mentions to baatfam for another clearly spring picture, and jedz for a terrific picture, but it just doesn't convey spring as loudly as the others.

[Baatfam]

Thanks guys...And thanks to our new contributor, KillRamsey...Very nice entry. Please play again.

So many great photos that I could pick, but almost all of them made the bike the subject, not the theme.
To me, there was only one great photo that made "spring" the subject, and that would be Redman's photo...

Very nice work, Dave....

[marvinsc]

Daffodil Dave for me. :-)

[cowboyup3371]

I'll also vote for Dave's (Redman)

[bccap]

I'll vote for KillRamsey as well. With an honorable mention to Kerry for injecting some humour with the allergy pills......

[Redman]

Thanks for doing the summary Bob (I dont seem to be getting up as early as I used to.).


Saturday. Vote Tally day.


Marvinsc 1, Redman 5, Agemax 1, Keerfunk 1, KillRamsey 5.

Someone please check my count.
I have that counted as a tie.

Rules state that in event of a tie vote on Saturday morning, we wait until another vote comes in.
But someone please verify my count.
If is a tie between myself and KR, I will defer to him, as a welcome to the game. (and I think Mr. KR gordopuggy has lot more great pics.)

[Redman]

I just rechecked my count.
And to "show my work", I list it here:

Marvinsc got a vote on post 29
Redman 31,35,39,40,41 =5
Agemax 32
Keerfunk 33
KRamsey 34,36,37,38,42 =5

So, yep, tie at 5 votes.

I defer the win to Mr KRamsey, so that he get the great honor of naming the next topic-theme.

And I will say (the rules do not specifically say this, but has been a consensus on this), it is more important to STATE the topic-theme-category than it is to provide a sample photo. And I will also say the sample photo is an entry for the week.

I can confirm the vote count....

[kerrfunk]

I confirm the vote count as well, and I think the defer the tie to KR's win is honorable, kind, and welcoming indeed.

I'm back - I see it. And cool! Thanks everyone. What a nice place.

Ok, a theme... let me look at what's been done already and come up with something.

[KillRamsey]

Ok I've got one.

Week 18: The Down Low

Get low to the ground, and shoot whatever you think is good. Think of it as a bug's eye view. Get that camera / phone / whatever almost touching the ground.

[DaveR]

Congrats on the win KR.
Down Low will bring joy to Dave ''on his belly'' Redman.
