http://www.orchidboard.com/community...39/contest.jpg

EDIT: 12th place has been resolved here. Winner is Photo #20

------------------------------


Below are the final picks for the 2011 Orchid Board Calendar. If you do not see your photo here, it's probably because it was either not in perfect focus or it didn't meet the resolution requirements, or it was not really a calendar material.

Once again, just a reminder that for next year's contest, please be sure to shoot photos with the maximum resolution that the camera will allow. Remember, you can always reduce the photos, you can't enlarge them and still have a print quality image.

Job at hand - We have to select 13 photos that will make the calendar.

how to vote?
Take a pencil and write down 13 of your favorite photos, then vote for them! Easy!

RULES:
1. Vote for your favorites. Top 13 pics make the calendar. Top favorite makes the cover

2. Feel free to invite your friends to vote on this contest, however telling them to vote specifically for your photo will get you disqualified. Links to this thread will show up at the bottom, so please no funny stuff.

3. Top 3 get a free calendar shipped to them.

4. In case of a tie, to simplify matters, I will make the final selection.

5. Voting will close in 7 days.

6. You can only vote once. After you press VOTE you cannot change your vote. Please be sure you make 13 selections ONLY

7. Enjoy the eye candy ! :)

My pleasure to vote first!!! :D :cheer:

Congratulation to all participants! I am sorry I could't give a vote for some pictures, only 13 to choose...

UKCat 09-01-2010 03:00 PM

Wow! That was a difficult choice, we could have calenders for a couple of years with just that selection :D

Royal 09-01-2010 05:19 PM

KUDOS...to all the photographers! What a great pool to select from. You ALL did an excellent job. Now, be sure to buy your calendar this year, they make great presents. ;)

I dropped the ball this year and didn't get a submission in time. I'll be ready next year. :evil:

kavanaru 09-01-2010 05:37 PM

indeed, a great selection of photos!! WOW!!

the quality of the submitted photos increases evyr year! Congrats!

Gin 09-01-2010 05:50 PM

Tough choices ,should be more months in a year ..

Paul 09-01-2010 07:45 PM

Some very nice pics!

I would find it interesting -- after all is said and done --to hear what persuaded or dissuaded folks from voting for the various pictures. A critique or constructive criticism if you will. However, I also realize there are some inherent issues there too -- trying not hurt someone else's feelings; actually putting one's reason(s) into words (after all, sometimes it's "just a feeling"); and the sheer length such a thread would engender; et cetera.

Either way, good job and good luck to all who entered!

sweetjblue 09-01-2010 08:51 PM

Awesome pics everyone!!
I think I had to go thru 4 or 5 times to get the list down to just 13. Took so long I got logged out.:lol:
Very difficult indeed!!

O.K. I'll bite. My votes are cast strictly for best photos. I try to be fair and don't let friendships or preference for flowers influence my vote.

First I examine each entry and make note of my selections. My favorite pictures are the ones that capture the true essence of the bloom and they must be centered and focused, without too much empty space.

My list is usually much too long at this stage and I like variety, so next I begin narrowing down my initial selections by omitting duplicate flower types. If my list is still too long then I start getting picky about the cosmetics of the plant foliage.

There were some gorgeous entries this year. Good luck to all!

Kudos to Marty for a wonderful selection. :clap: Great pictures to choose from again this year.

I also look for the sharp photography, simplicity & great color since I get to look at the picture for the WHOLE month. Getting to chose 13 pictures sure gives us a variety. I would still like to vote for a couple extra months in the year. More eye candy please...
