Digital On Line-Photo Contest Pic of Day!

Hey,

I posted this in the Oly forum the other day, but since I also spend a lot of time here, I figured that maybe some of you would be interested. I won the Digital On-Line Photo Contest Pic for the day, and have been put in to the Monthly Drawing.

Please check it out if you are interested.

Take care,
James

Wow! You were so lucky to be there at the moment and you caught the perfect shot. I came across a bison (buffalo?) park years ago and snapped a few boreing pics of big animals munching grass and looking stupid.

Hey,

Thanks for the response. I apologize that I did not write back until now. I am very proud of the shot, and was very glad that I always keep the camera fully assembled when I went into the park. The only real difficult part of the shot was getting in to the proper position as they were going at it pretty hard.

Voting on the shots begins the first. I hope that I have a shot of winning the monthly contest. I think I do...but we will see. My concern is that the contest is decided by "popular vote" for the montly contest - as the POTD is decided by a panel of judges. I would rather just have a panel of judges decide for the monthly contest, as well. However, it has been their experience that it is nearly impossible to "stuff the box" because of the vast volumes of people voting.

Thanks again for the comments,

James

Keep getting the same error message when I go in to vote. I wasn't sure if it was due to my cookies being off - so I shut them down and STILL the same error message:

HTTP Error 400

400 Bad Request

Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood by the server. The client should not repeat the
request without modifications.

Can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,

Seems they're having a bit of a bug over there at DPC. The fix seems to be to add a "+" between August and 2000 in the URL of that error page. Should get you to the voting. Think you're right about the idiot factor in the monthly voting. Should have seen some of the "winners" the general public picked a couple of months ago. Good luck, and toss a vote to that super-long panorama if you like it.

thanks for the info. DOPC has been MOST difficult to deal with. Received two e-mails - none of which mentioning ANYTHING about a fix.

Was the panorama yours? I was bouncing between that and a tall tree which I really liked. They both Kicked butt....The panoramas were a tough catagory. I think that due to the actual work in putting them together that the catagory may have spawned a lot better competition then many of the others.
