Welcome everyone to the VOTING Session of the 6th NTF Coolpix challenge

~~TO ALL VOTERS~~

Please note that we have had a rule change that will govern our voting in this Challenge.
The voting rules will be as follows:
1. All voters will place their votes in the follow-up (reply) SUBJECT LINE ONLY
~~Any votes NOT located in the subject line will NOT be counted ~~~

2. Each voter will have the ability to vote for a First place, Second Place and Third Place entry.

3. To allow for easier counting please use the following format in the “Subject Line” 1-John Doe, 2-Pete Doe, 3-Jane Doe

4. Any votes cast not indicating a 1st, 2nd or 3rd designation will be counted in the order they are listed.

5. Voter comments will be kept to the message part of the post only. Again this will assist in the counting of the votes.
6. Members cannot vote for their own entry
7. Votes received after the voting period has ended will not be counted.

8. In a case that we have one entrant who has won multiple spots (IE 1st, 2nd or 3rd). The secondary placing will revert to the next highest entrant

Under the “NEW” scoring system, a 1st place vote will garner (3) points to that entrant. A 2nd place vote will receive (2) points and a 3rd place vote will receive (1) point.

After the close of voting all of the votes will be tabulated and the winners will be announced as soon as possible.

It was a hard pick, once again. Reason why I picked these three is:

1st - John Brain: lovely light, perfect exposure and excellent skintones
2nd - Larry Bernman: wonderful colors, great facial expression, livefull picture
3rd - AirBete: funny picture all in all, a cat in a raincoat

I felt there was too many animal pictures, although fun "faces" I had expected to see more humans and that's also a reason why I voted for humans in the top 2 positions while the funniest pet picture got one vote.

This is my first time to vote. Im new to this forum. I really enjoyed the entries and had a tough time picking just 3.

1-Bin, I really like the mood this picture gives off, it makes me wish i was young again. The composition and colors are great. Very nice shot Bin.

2-Larry Berman, Again like Bins shot this pic has that feel to it. The color is very nice. Great work.

3-Gingo, This shot gives off a good feeling, I like the way it is framed. The hands alone could have made some intresting shots. Nice work Gingo.

John Brain · Nov 19, 2002

As usual, so bl* dy difficult when trying to choose three pics from so many fine images.

1-LRP... for me a timeless image, could have been taken decades ago...B&W always grabs my attention...the exposure, pose and neutral background add up to a great picture.

2-Doug...wow, what a face...such character in it...good lighting and pin sharp where it needs to be.

3-Paul...as with LRP's subject, you can't see the eyes, which I feel gives them both an air of mystery...like the sepia effect...the overall softness works very well.

Unlike many of you, I don't particularly care for people photos and my photography rarely includes them. That being said, I was happy to see the animal photos. They are in fact faces of our world too. Good luck to everyone!

I interpreted the challenge to be more than just portraits - I wanted to see how the faces tell me something about the world in which they exist.

1-Smee-Int

This would seem to be a really challenging picture to capture - in the dark illuminated briefly by a bursting firework - nicely done. I like that there are four faces all transfixed on the explosion. You can see a hint in the windows, but the reflection does not give up the complete story leaving it to the viewers imagination. The picture is reasonably sharp with a little grain to add mood. I like that the firework reflection seems to be near the center of the heads. I also like the pattern of windows in the background. Nice Job.

2-PowerPet

I like the simplicity of this shot and the concentration on the face of the subject. Light, Microphone, person - very simple but it is clear that this person is "on air". I think the subtle reflection of the microphone on the subjects faces makes this one more interesting.

3-Bin

Were it that we all could be entertained by such simple things - This is a great shot - the little girl staring at the pin wheel. The color of her shirt matches the wheel and they both really pop out from the background. I don't like the cropping on this one - her feet are missing, so is a portion of the pin wheel. Had it all been there this would have been my number one. Regardless I still love the simplicity, and the color in this one.

The others were also very good. Doug Barber and Ginko would be 4 and 5, but I wanted to see a little more of the "world" in these pictures" They are great portraits regardless. I hovered around Ginko for quite a while. Sid - is your son whatching TV in your pic - he has that "look".

Great job everyone!
