These really are some of the best we've had.

For those who are new to this please don't tell people which ones are yours. Please don't speculate who may have taken any of the pictures. Please don't post which you like most.

Comments are fine after the voting has finished.

My apologies to the person who sent me photo #18 several days ago--I neglected to check my email (thanks for the fine entry, by the way). For any that would like to vote for that photo but who have already voted, it's possible to change your votes. Thank you.  :blue smiley:

How come?
I thought Maria Evri set an excellent template for the thread, submissions admissible 0 to 23rdish day, votes in last week.
It's the 7th already
Is the the photo comp to be no longer bound by monthular limitation?

I think there should be rules and if there are rules I'd like to know them and if there are flexibilities I'm malleable.

Yeah, I'm pretty ductile on this sort of thing as well, once you draw me out on it.

Up to this point, the rules have been set by the person who creates the photo challenge.  :shrug:

If you'd like some consistent rules, I for one am open to a proposed set. Once a they've been put forth, I think they should be discussed and voted on.

The voting has closed, and we have a tie. Thanks again to all those who submitted entries for this superb iteration of the HAF Photo Challenge.

I know what I would do here, but I think that since this is really hermes2015's photo challenge, he should make the final decision. If he hasn't shown up in a few days to weigh in, I suppose we could have a quick runoff vote.

It would be our first dead heat run-off -- so exciting.

Post by: Recusant on August 09, 2016, 11:51:12 PM
I'm pretty sure we've had tied votes before. It would be easiest if hermes2015 just chose a photo. It's only because he visits only irregularly that I even mentioned it. If it were to come to that, I think the 4 photos with 7 and 8 votes would provide a reasonable field.

Hi everyone! I think we should have run-off vote. This topic is one of my obsessions, so it was interesting to see the response we had.
