[snadge]

Snadge, you did some awesome pics fella, close call between you and blackadder

for that, I'm getting better I think, I've just got to work on my compositition and my shyness for actually taking pictures, I feel so "conscious" about holding the camera, especially when there are people around.

 

[bluestreak]

1 ) mudchute city farm (robster970) - it's almost unreal.

2) quench (cybertect) - superb picture, absolutely gorgeous

3) morning in da'hab (citydreams) - love that pic

honourable mentions go to alef (for 'the cow that fell to earth'), tank girl (for 'rhino pile up'), paul russell (captive otter), sunray (shuffleupagus), and biddleybee (shadow camel), all of which made it a very difficult task of picking three.

Well they were up to date at 9 pm on deadline day, then a couple of cads and bounders entered at 9:57 and 11:16.

All the thumbnails should be up now. Apart from any I've missed.

 

[girasol]

What a lovely comp, even if I say so myself!

It's the taking the part that counts, but I suppose I have to vote, so here goes:

1) pussycat pussycat - Pinneaple - It just looks incredible and dream like
2) Fox - Danski - I can't stop looking at that fox
3) Quench - Cybertech - Just a great image!

There were tons of other photos I really liked, including
Gambian kitten - DJ Bigga
Cow and bird - Maestrocloud
Dog in wheelchair - Paul Russell
Another swan - BiddlyBee
Poodle driver - Wordie
French froggy - Mauvais Mangue
Seagulls over the Hudson - Magneze

And quite a few others!

 

[mauvais]

1. Quench - Cybertect

2. Captive Otter - Paul Russell

3. Wildebeests - FunkyUK

I think almost every photo in there was worthy of a mention - a spectacular set of entries like never before

 

[Robster970]

1. Nosy - Hedache (like the shot and distortion because of the lens used)
2. Sam - Firky (this just makes me laugh, almost theatrical)
3. Spooky in Water - Snadge (technically brilliant, dog is fantastic)

 

[editor]

This is the hardest it's ever been - the quality of the work is absolutely fantastic throughout!

Loved some of the captions too.

Here's my selection (although it might change by the time I've looked at the page again as the decision was that hard)...

1. Captive otter Paul Russell
2. Fox - Danski
3. Wildebeests FunkyUK
4. Mudchute City Farm Robster970
5. Rhino pile-up Tank girl

[thefuse]

first of all i've got to make a slight complaint. my lizard pic has come out in landscape instead of profile in the thumbnails, making a good picture look pretty crap imo.

anyway my votes are
1 the moz by kage
2 bee by danski
3 extreme close up by blue streak


loads of other quality pics on show though

 

[girasol]

I've just put all the entries in a spreadsheet... All 124 of them!!!!!!

Paul Russel: nice one on keeping the thumbnails up to date!!!
