There is a lesson in this theme for me, that which I truly like the voters truly do not. I should have used Space Shuttle shots again 😀
June 14, 2012 at 5:13 pm #47250nobigdealParticipantSomething told me not to bother this week. No votes…

No shit.
I was amazed that ennuipoet‘s B&W had zip five hours after the thread went live…I did The Shocker for shits ‘n’ giggles, and thought it might raise a laugh+vote combo, but nada….
I seriously can’t believe (sorry predle) that some great entries are presently getting deep-sixed in the votes by those fucking cats…

It surely worked for me, yet my wife couldn’t understand why… 😆
June 14, 2012 at 6:44 pm #47247ElsinoreKeymasterWell, keep in mind that quite a few votes come in Friday or later. Also, Farkers love cats. They also love the shocker, though, so I’m pretty surprised yours isn’t doing better; I thought it was funny….
June 14, 2012 at 7:15 pm #47244orionidParticipantI don’t want to talk about it. I’ve had tanks and bad starts before, but I think this is my worst effort to vote ratio by far.
June 14, 2012 at 10:49 pm #47242YugoboyParticipantAfter uploading and checking out all the other entries (good stuff!!!) I’m glad I went with something besides the flowers. Would have been three (at least).
I certainly considered this before composing mine (from TIFs, 183Mb images take a LOOOOONG time to save!). But in the end, its the only other subject where I know where in my drive to find all the images, besides the astro-stuff. I’d be a-huntin’ pecker elsewise. I figured it would be up against a lot, though; went b/w to ‘stand out’. Yeah, hows that working out for me? 😥
Based on the fact that my substitution for the flower entry has got a total of 1 vote (and it’s not my vote) I think I maybe miscalculated.
Oh well…. a whole 5 votes each for the other 2… and one of ’em was out and out pandering for votes (the military graves one)…
June 15, 2012 at 4:06 am #47243U-ManParticipantHey U-Man, that pic, the one with the two sides of you, is awesome.
Why thank you. I shot the pics and put it together wham-bam this evening. I wish I had started earlier and got it more ‘perfect’. But I’m happy with it.
So is it really just two actual pictures/exposures that you cut up in different ways to assemble? Or is it several of each “side”?
It’s eight separate pics. #8 is a bit of camo-shorts stuck in between my left leg and black shirt ’cause there was a gap I didn’t like.
I was stunned by some entries with 0, 1 or 2 votes this morning, too.
June 15, 2012 at 6:31 am #47354lokisbongParticipantYeah I felt rather robbed when I woke up today and I still didn’t have even one vote for my cactus collage. I like it better than the cars one. At least my sunsets collage is doing okayish.
June 15, 2012 at 11:08 pm #47355thepostessParticipantI voted for the cactus flowers, before I even saw this post.
June 16, 2012 at 12:38 am #47356Pope_Larry_IIParticipantI was surprised to see my shot had shot up in the voting today…it had 2-3 when I checked yesterday, now it has 12. I’m happy with that, and confused at the same time.
U-Man, I love that shot, the only thing that would make it better is a Habs toque 😉
June 17, 2012 at 1:10 pm #47357ElsinoreKeymasterI’m not going to be in a position to offer congrats until probably this evening, and the thread is still open, but I think it’s safe to say congrats to U-Man this week!
June 17, 2012 at 3:16 pm #47358KestranaParticipantAfter all the complaining about voting, the final voting tally is actually pretty “normal”. With 2nd place at 32 votes its actually more votes than a couple of my winning entries garnered in other contests.
June 19, 2012 at 1:13 am #47359U-ManParticipantThanks guys. I came really close to sitting this one out. Then the composite U-Man shot popped into my head late Wednesday. I’m glad I did it.
Also, per Mopsy’s advice, I just downloaded Picasa 3 and used their collage maker. Easy-peasy.
