Entries Voting Competition # 0 (test run) - The Number Six

Test run for a new style of competition.
There seemed to be a need for a different style of competition according this thread link
There where some positive reactions from some members that almost never enter a competition to make such a competition so this created to test how it goes and if it's fun to do.


-rules for this test run-
Theme = The Number Six (like the first weekly competition link)
Entry time = Monday 12 July till midnight Friday 23 July
Voting time = midnight Friday 23 July till midnight Sunday 25 July
Date photo = no date limit (might be an idea if the judge can set those?)
No commenting on the entries till voting is over!


Short explanation on how it all works.
Run time - Is 2 weeks starting on a Monday, first 12 days enter time last weekend (2 days) voting time.
Entry time - Is the time you can enter you entry, this is done like the Fortynight competition for now and the place to post your entries is here, in the entry thread.
Voting time - Is the time you can give your vote on the photo you think is the best according to the theme. This is done in a separate thread that will be created when the time ready. Voting will happen like the way polls are created on this forum so you can only give one vote and every one is allowed to vote. There is an option to run a poll for a certain time and that will be used to close the voting.
The winner - Will be the one with the most votes and has the honour to name the next theme and is responsible off running the competition and creating the Voting thread that's need for the voting.
The winner can't enter his own competition since he/she can give themselves an advantage by choosing a theme they are good at so to prevent the temptation to do so it's not allowed to enter your own competition.
Commenting - Is not allowed on entries when the competition is running. A comment thread is created for normal talk about the competition and the winner/judge is allowed to enter there since voting is done by everyone. Comments on the entries should be given in the voting thread after the voting is closed.
Since there won't be any judging it's therefore very appreciated if you would give comments on the entries yourself and actively discuss things.


I hope I've explained it good enough to try this out, discussions and questions can be asked in the comment thread so please keep this thread clean!
This time I volunteer to run this competition so if needed you can also directly contact me through a PM or a moderator for any problems I can't solved.

Let the game begin.

Let's see what happens next!

Now this was taken week before last, as per the EXIF which should still be intact.

I've somehow zapped all the EXIF data during the cropping and cleanup, but it's basically:

Not what I first thought of, but an entry nonetheless .

I hope it's good enough for the theme, six aero-generators.
