Was a great bit of fun driving there to get the pic too... The young fella has given commentary all through the short vid...

Great shot indeed, but isn't having entries from what looks like a professional photographer a little like having Usain Bolt entering a charity fun run??Quote:

Ever thought that he maybe Bob Howard ? LolQuote:

All photographs are automatically copyrighted to the owner regardless of whether they add the copyright symbol. I've had a picture I took of a giant squid mirror imaged and used in a dive magazine without permission. I'm sure Bob can speak for himself but I would hate to see his pictures made ineligible, gives me something to strive towards.
If I took quality shots like these guys I'd probably consider marking them copyright as well.
Far from a professional photographer, I wish I had that talent. I make plenty of mistakes, getting up in the morning is usually the biggest...lolQuote:

Winner winner chicken dinner. LolQuote:

End of the month time folks. I will be closing the comp to entries tonight at 8pm (Vic time) after which I will invite you to cast your votes. I think we have some excellent choices to make life difficult for us this month.
Now is the time to get in your last minute entries in.
Cuppa
The June photo comp is now closed to entries
Everyone now has the opportunity to vote for their favourites.
You can vote as many time as you like by clicking the thanks button on the entries you think deserve to win.
You can change your mind votes until voting closes at 6pm Vic time on Wednesday 2nd July
Winner will choose next month’s topic.
Vote once, vote often!
Cuppa
I am too late, I have been taking lots of landscape shots but have been out of converge until tonight.Quote:

Oh well, never mind, your shots will no doubt fit for a future category, assuming they’re not all blurred from the post corrugation handshakes! ;)Quote:

going to be a close finish i think
Any last minute votes - voting closes in about 15 minutes time. Vote now or forever hold your piece! (Yes deliberate spelling mistake - it’s called humour). :)
What a great comp this month. I have been really impressed with not only the great entries but also the great participation. I suspect the number of votes cast is a record & reflects the high quality of the entries. I reckon we all deserve a collective pat on the back.
And so to this month’s winners. (Drum Roll)
Not only was voting close, but we had many with votes in double figures.
In first place with 18 votes is Irish with his evocative shot across the top of the clouds in Rubicon State Forest.
Very close behind in second place with 17 votes each we have a tie. Chrisc2306’s (last month’s winner) Canadian alpine lake & clubbyr8’s Lake George.
In third place we have another tie with 14 votes each. @GUte’s Beechworth gorge at sunset & TimE’s Simpson Desert.
Great stuff everyone & congratulations to all.
Irish please PM me with your choice of topic for July’s comp, & I’ll post it up as soon as I can.
Cuppa
Well done guys, great pics, deserved winner.
Bloody hell irish and I had the same pic.... should have posted it!!
Well done mate
Nice one! Thanks to everyone who voted for my pic:-)
Will have a good think and try to come up with something good.
:-)
Well done all, we certainly have some talented people on here. And what a great country we have to photograph.
Cuppa for future competitions is it possible to reproduce the winning pictures at the end of the thread?

That way anyone can find them easily. I don’t know if it’s possible but was going to ask AB if it could be a locked thread to which I can have access to add to each month, so that it remains photos only with no comments.
I would be interested to hear what others think about the idea. Of course if the ‘winners thread’ is a goer, there is no reason why the winning pics can’t also be added to the announcement at the end of each months comp too.
That sounds like a great idea.Quote:

Progressive winners thread is also a great idea.
I presume it will tell us competition name month and photo, that way the winner can choose next months comp without doubling up.
Yup, that’d be the plan. I just need to remember to hassle AB about it once he’s back & recovered.Quote:

Would save trolling through each monthly thread to see which one won.
Just an idea.
Oi, that was my idea ................great minds think alike . :)Quote:
