I am delighted to see most, if not all entries figured this type of photography out. Nice job to all who entered, and good luck.

I don't specifically say no to composites, so that would be acceptable. I prefer to allow flexibility and creativity in post processing.

I'll be happy if 40% figure it out. To veteran photographers, it will be easy.

I couldn't have imagined this one. Well done!

We all have seen unusual votes either 5 stars for poor quality images or low votes on the best. Put a link in this thread to the challenge you are talking about. Ask everyone who is reading this ...

By set up, I meant , create a scene that contains a knife. You certainly can have someone else help you with your idea for an entry. The current entries almost all represent the type of photo you...

This is a great photo; I know I've seen it before, and now , yay! a 1st place. Congratulations. It's a beauty!

I also like this as the "host's pick". Superb image with terrific interest. That said, the 2 star voter voted on all, and his/her range was .5 to 2, so it was not sandbagging. He/she gave a 2 to...

In this case, you just know all those 5's were honest votes. Voting histogram be dam@ed, this has 5 stars all over it and you don't see that too often here. Great work!

wow!

I've been hosting for a long time, and I started with more developed rule sets. I found that you really need to make the title have as much info as possible and be concise in the rules to limit ...

THis is just beautiful! What a setting you found. A worthy winner for sure!

I made a mistake in the title vs the rule list. The title says F11-F16, not F11 or F16.

So F 11 F12 F13 F14 F15 F16 all acceptable and the type of camera and conversion to something else isn't...

This is one of my favorites... Getting the sunset with a reflection, and the comet trail is marvelous!

This is the "Host's Pic" - I love it!!

While there is a "complain" button on entries, and you can click it and state why, the host then needs to decide if the entry did not meet the rule set. In some cases, it's obvious a rule was not ...

Worthy winner!

great shot!!!
