DONE!

[MHD]

Ok part one is closed!

I just signed the lease on a new rental place so I am going mad... so it may take a day for me to open part 2...

Over the course of the day I will reveal the entries for part 1 (but not the owners of course )

WELL DONE EVERYONE! I am blown away at the quantity and quality of entries!

[MHD]

Ok, images are now showing... Remember to keep any comments general, avoid commenting on individual images...

[Alpha_7]

Awesome!!

(hope that was general enough).

Well done to all the entrants!

Scott - I've noticed that some link to larger images and some don't (yet)...

[Matt. K]

WOW!

[birddog114]

Great works to all of you! Lot of verynice pics in the first series!
Good luck to all challengers!

[thaddeus]

Wow, there are some stunning mixes of art and science in there! Well done!

[Glen]

I would agree, awesome

[sirhc55]

All of the above and more

[leek]

WOW!!!
I'm impressed by the quantity, quality, diversity and creativity of the shots... Well done guys!!!
Just when I thought I might get into the top-10, the bar has been raised yet again...
I'll just have to try harder for round 2...

[radar]

Woooooow,

great set of entries, certainly keeps raising the standard, well done to everyone that entered. And if you haven't, there is now part 2 to put in your entry, get moving

Cheers,

radar

[Paul]

WOW! there's a lot of different themes and thinking behind a lot of these images.
Well done all who entered.
Can't wait for round 2!

[rokkstar]

Very impressive line up of images there. I think round two is going to be even more creative/diverse because of them.
Excellent work everyone.

[rokkstar]

I've also just noticed that you cant click on a couple of pics.

[Yedrup]

WOW,

The bar is well and truly raised, the challenge has been made, everyone is going to have to be really innovative for the next round.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Terry

[stubbsy]

What impresses me most about this is the diversity of interpretations of the theme. A very high bar has been set for round 2. I thought I had a chance at the top in this round, now I think I have a chance at the bottom

[TonyH]

Congrats to everyone.......

I'm looking forward to seeing the results now in round 2.

Thinking..... Thinking..... Thinking......

[Jonesy]

CRIEKY
well done everyone! and bring on part 2

[Alpha_7]

Good mix of camera's and techniques used and a few popular ideas.

[marcotrov]

Some varied and excellent competition entries. Congratulations and good luck to all!
cheers

I have the same issue.

But 50 entries ... great stuff!

[owen]

Some terrific images, really varied concepts of movement as well.

I've got no chance after seeing the quality of them all

Good luck everyone!

[Potatis]

Incredible standard. I've really got to get back on my horse and try harder for round 2.

I hope the problem with some of the images not opening can be fixed soon.

[Glen]

Incredible standard. I've really got to get back on my horse and try harder for round 2.

So Doug, yours is the image taken from horseback?

[Hlop]

Good stuff. It won't be easy to get into top 10 at all.

Are there any prises for bottom five?

[Potatis]

Incredible standard. I've really got to get back on my horse and try harder for round 2.

No.

[Potatis]

Good stuff. It won't be easy to get into top 10 at all.

Especially with another round to go. As if getting into the top 10 from these entries wouldn't be hard enough!

[MHD]

whether or not there is a click from the medium size version depends on the size the photog entered

[MHD]

ooh... I see... Hang on.. investigating

[MHD]

Fixed...
I deserve a payrise

[Alpha_7]

Done!
I'll triple it,

0 x 3 = 0


Thanks for fixing it!

[Jonesy]

COnsider it done.... DOUBLE what you're your getting now
serioulsy thanks for all your work and efforts

**edit** ok Alpha 7 has the better deal!

[embi]

Geez I really need to aim higher.....there are some awesome images there!

[gstark]

Fixed...
I deserve a payrise

I agree.

[sheepie]

there seem to be several there which do not comply with the EXIF rules - some don't have sufficient, one at least still has a name attached.

[the foto fanatic]

I don't seem to be able to read EXIF data on any of the pix in Scott's gallery with iExif. iExif seems to be working on this forum.

Does anyone have an explanation for why this would be so?

[Potatis]

Trevor, check that you are trying to view the exif from the largest photo, not just the thumbnail. You might have to click on an image twice to get it to it's largest size.

[MHD]

Well, when I check they may be disqaulified... (that is the way the cookie crumbles I'm afraid)

[MHD]

Clicking on [photo properties] on the medium view will give you a abreviated exif

Disqualification may be a bit harsh Scott... Especially for this competition... People have submitted shots before that didn't have exif, but if they proved that it was taken on a DSLR - you've accepted it in the past...
As for the one with the name attached... that's unfortunate and I'm sure we can all forget if we saw it...
Many of the others are just as easy to guess as well (if you look at the camera type and have been paying attention in the Image Critiques section)...

[jethro]

What an outstanding group of entries. Pity i missd out!
Notwithstanding this a fine group of images from some very talented photographers. Congrats to all

Yeah, that seems to do it! Thanks.

[Glen]

Leek, maybe we should just ring him and ask him to remove it, he conveniently left his mobile number as well

I thought about that

Scott - Please see my PM

[samester]

i know that individual interpretation of a given theme is highly subjective but this is one of the few comps where i think the vast majority of entries have hit the mark.

some very nice captures depicting movement, well done.

[MHD]

Ok Lets be entirely clear here...

To me what is important is what is shown up on the [photo properies] link on the comp page...

others may differ and can argue thier case to me..

If some one is keen enough to download the full size image and run it through an deep exif header grabber well... then...

Now I need peoples help with this, I am moving into a new place this week and am very busy, could the owners of images which they think are not valid PM me the title of the image (or even better a hyperlink)

To repeat, dont be overly worried if there is an identifying feature buried way down in the exif of the file, what is important is what shows up when you click [photo properties]

[owen]

Hi mate. As this is my first comp entered, I followed the instructions which did say to verify exif data using the photo properties option in the dropdown box. I wouldn't know if there was any other info in my shot, but according to the properties it is all good. And I agree that is all that should matter.

[Paul]

The question is, can the member's who have rule infringements delete there images and re-submit them?

[MHD]

Not after the comp has closed I am afraid...

However you can still enter in round 2 (just not the same image)

[Glen]

I think all members and entrants should be aware that one unlucky soul has already been disqualified from part 1 (he or she is free to enter part 2) for having their details in the comment section. This is easy to check when you look at your image in Nikon View or run a program like Iexif or similar over it. Please check, as Scott cant with the huge volume of entries and it would be a shame to have anyone else miss out.
