Exclamation Vote for your favorite photo now!

Starting on Oct 8 Princess started a Photography Competition. This thread contains the information on how to help vote for the winner.

For those of you who submitted photos, but did not choose the 2 you wanted in the vote I have automatically selected the first two submissions you made.

First some notes on what you should consider when you evaluate a photo:
  • Do NOT include the Resolution or Size of the photo (just because the photo is smaller doesn't reduce its score)
  • Do NOT include symbolism or scene setup not specified by the author (don't reduce a score because you think the shot should have been to the left by 5 inches, etc.)
  • DO include the creativity of photo (originality, etc.)
  • DO include the technicality of the photo (difficulty & quality, e.g.)
  • DO include your emotions (you just plain like it!)

To vote,
  • Copy the numbered photo links below and paste into a PM or EMAIL to ME or REPLY to this thread
  • Rate each photo with a minimum of 1 and maximum 10 points, the more points the better
  • TRY to use each number ONLY 3 Times. e.g. Only 3 photos can be a 10 etc.


----------------BEGIN COPY HERE-------------------
1. Autumn Carnival
2. Welcome home, my newborn
3. Cemetary
4. Chameleon
5. Classic
6. Untitled
7. Cool Sunset
8. Eyes of seduction
9. Fall Arrives
10. Grand Canyon 2
11. Gorgeous Sky
12. Grand Canyon
13. Mother Nature
14. Red Rose
15. Haliakala Crater on Maui
16. Sunlit Orangutan
17. Heidi
18. Irish Pub
19. Labrang, China
20. March on the river
21. Pinetop Arizona
22. Moon Hill, China
23. Sweet Smile
24. Peek-a-boo
25. Victoria, BC, Canada
26. Untitled
27. Piss and Vinnegar
28. Taken while driving to work
29. Redrock, Nevada
-------------------END COPY HERE-------------------



If you have any questions please feel free to post them here.

An example response would look like this:

----------------BEGIN COPY HERE-------------------
10 1. Autumn Carnival
8 2. Welcome home, my newborn
6 3. Cemetary
7 4. Chameleon

etc.

Some of the shortcuts in the ballot (those that end in a .txt will require that you copy and paste the URL into your browser)

P.S. Thanks for voting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about when you vote for your own photo? Would it be bad to give yourself the full 10 points ?

Thanks Adam for much effort put forth.. Everyone please take the time to cast your vote.

No, go ahead and give yourself full points!

You should always be able to vote for yourself.


Yes, anyone and everyone please vote! It doesn't matter if you submitted a photo or not.. just vote!

I think the main problem is, not all of us HAVE Excel... we can't use the ballot.

I guess thats the issue. But still I would expect 90%+ of the MS user environment to have Excel. Looks like Im going to redo the ballot to make it more 'user' friendly.

Ok, I voted, but can you explain why there must be between 150-160 points assigned?

It balances the votes so that people don't vote all 10s (nor all 1s) for everyone.

Adam-

On 2 occasions I have tried to enter my votes, and excel has froze up on me while trying to copy the txt URL.

Any clues?

Any other ideas, since this seems to be causing some problems.

Yeah well this was a learning experience. I wanted to have something automated, hence the excel file, but that didn't work. This was the second best I could come up with at the time.

In the future I could create a web-form that allows you to pick a score and the hit submit to cast your vote. Making it easy as pie
