Very nice selections, wow! Definitely narrowed down to 3, with 2 honorable mentions beyond that. Now it's just the details. Which is sharper where it matters? Which has a better mood? Which would look awesome next year on my wall calendar?

Is there a rule against having my friends and fellow club members participate in the contest ? I failed to see one.
If so, remove me.

You are specifically asking for them to vote for your pic rather than their participation. I would be embarrassed to try and win like that, especially with a picture that isn't even in focus.

Sorry - but the point of this is for the RC community to choose what they think is the best picture. It's not a popularity contest.

Hey I just got my camera and was all kinds of excited. I bet all your first pictures were fantastic.

Like I said, I failed to see rules for this, and and to pull me from the contest.

Voted and boy that was a tough one! Lots of great pictures all. Glad to see that you guys keep the contests regulated. I've been on several forums where they all turn into popularity contests, and it makes it no fun (or fair) for those who enter and don't campaign for votes.

 

[adimal]

where do i see the pictures?!

 

[keinreis]

I would compaign for #9 if it was allowed because it is a nice photo and deserves to win.

Ninja edit: my entry is NOT #9 nor do I know the erson who took it, but his photo is nice!

sorry... he/she either way that is a nice photo. Someday I will get my skills good enough to shoot picts like that.

 

[blu iz]

those are some great pictures. it was hard to try and pick one

 

[douggiestyle]

nice pictures all. but, i was rather disappointed with this month overall. usually i really need to think hard to figure out which is the the best (imo).
oh well here goes....

 

[bwest]

I wish there were more submissions. Some of them could be amazing shots if the focus were a little better IMO.

 

[danorth]

Hell I don't care, my picture is #1 on the list!!! but not in votes. Personally, I think eels are too easy to photograph, find a fish that moves and then get a great pic. That is more of a challenge.

 

[Snowsurfer]

#9 got my vote. great pic

 

[jwedehase]

I'm a little surprised #26 isn't doing better. The focus is dead on, better than any other photo in this entire lot. In addition, the subject matter has nice color, has nice composition, and is just plain scary to look at.

I couldn't have said it any better myself. It had my vote at the time of my last post because of the excellent focus and color.

Just a thought guys but would there be scope for adding camera information to the entries at some point? I mean camera model, lens type etc...

To be honest I think you really need to know this to be able to fully evaluate a shot and it would provide a useful resource of examples of shots taken with specific equipment....

Just a thought.
