I wonder if the rules should change a bit. ie images for the weekly competition must be taken with in 4 months of the date of comp then it might inspire people to enter a current image and not rely on back catalogue of images. and if judge is putting people off why not have a voting system th...

Entries for Fortnightly Competition # 46 - Health
Thank you to those that participated. I got the feeling that the competitions may be cannibalising one another, or perhaps the topic just wasn't inspiring? Apologies if the latter! :oops: To those that may have been precluded from entering due to more serious matters (perhaps ill-health? :shock:)...

Anyway with the laudanum I managed the shot, left handed mind you, try stop down exposure left handed. anyway, back to bed now, cough, c...

Comments Voting Competition # 0 (test run) - The Number Six
Well I think maybe you ought to enter Stefan, if only to give the entry thread a bump. I was going to shoot some eggs and bought half a dozen especially for the comp, but I get back tonight and whats for tea? That's right - Spanish omelette! :evil: (For which I was actually very grateful as it...

Weekly competition No. 157 People in the Environment
And a nice bit of judging, delivered promptly! We're back on schedule, which is good because we know what to expect timing wise. This competition has been running for about three years now, hard to believe time has gone so quickly, and it's great that so much effort and enthusiasm is still goi...

Comments Weekly Comp 158 - Glamour
Alas, my only thought beyond pretty girls, was pretty locations, but it's my first stab at a compo (or even uploading anything to PU), so I'm happy just to get this far. However, I noticed a slight problem - the EXIF data is missing. I had to manually input a bunch of it by hand into the Gallery ...

Votes Voting Competition # 0 (test run) - The Number Six
The idea is great, but not so sure about the mechanics of how it's working. Three threads for each competition seems a bit OTT and potentially could clutter things up quite excessively. Also, manually putting up a poll for say 30 entries would be very onerous and people could get very fed up of havi...

Voting competition #1 - Cycles
Not sure what "80% compressed" means. Even then this might be tricky for some folks using auto-everything software. Don't worry about that, if it's 800 pixels on the long end and in JPG it's already good enough. I agree with John, why not post all the entries as they are sent in and only place th...

Here is my thought::roll: We have two wonderful competitions on this forum. The weekly and the fortnight. These competitions are UNLIKE any others, on any other site that I have encountered. The beauty of our comps is that it is a learning experience. The photographer recieves a opinion fro...

Voting competition #1 - Cycles
Well said JudithAnn. BTW I like your new avatar. I wish the new competition every success, it's further encouragement for members to take and show their pictures, but it does seem a little complicated to my simple mind. Perhaps with time it will become more streamlined. What I like about the weekl...

Voting competition #1 - Cycles
Judging by a poll vote means you get no feed back. David Actually if you see the voting thread you will see some did get some feedback from other members and I'm sure if someone who entered asked a question that those will be answered by other members. It's the hope that feedback will come from a ...

Weekly Competition #161 Comments Thread
Please remember that there should be no comments in the competition itself - a couple have been removed. If you want to comment, this is the comments thread, and the judge keeps out of here to make sure there is no undue influence on the judging. After the deadline has passed and the judging post...

Voting competition #1 - Cycles - The Votes
Congratulations to Doug! Well done, sir. Got my vote - after much umming and ahhing. A worthy winner. Initially I felt it was too literal - cycles an' all - but after careful study of the others, I had to put that view aside (because it had nothing to do with the technical merits of the photo its...

Voting competition #1 - Cycles - The Votes
Many competitions, indeed most, and not only photographic ones, work by submitting an entry and never knowing what else was entered by other contestants, until you, maybe, see the results. By not seeing the other entries it is possible for people to put their own interpretation on a subject, with...
