Photo comp help needed please

[350Wedge]

Hi all

Hopefully not breaking any rules here, but I have a photo entered in Marwells annual photo competition and part of it relies on a public vote (Beware Meerkat content!!)

Below is a link to my photo (i do have others entered but this is way out front in current voting)

All I ask is that you have a look at the Flickr link and if you like it, please 'favourite' the photo by clicking on favourite at the top left corner of the photo.

At the moment I'm being beaten by a picture of a single bee which is rather uninspiring to say the least!

I know this is not technically a great shot but peoples choice is just that, a photo that people like.

Please forward the link to anyone who may like it and ask them to favourite if they like it too.

Closing date is 27th Sept at 9am

I am very grateful for any favourites received

Thank you very much.

Not sure I stand a chance now, noticed one person in particular has used multiple accounts to boost their likes.

Its not a level playing field anymore

[DibblyDobbler]

Well at least you have retained your integrity

[350Wedge]

Well mostly...

I know asking here is a bit cheeky but I only want people to vote if they like it, not just because I'm a PH'er.

Seems ok to me - I wouldn't have faved it unless I liked it

Just to level the playing field a bit - the competition images are a lot easier to see here:

Some really nice ones and some "what is the point of entering an out of focus / camera shaking" ones too...

The competition is a good way to raise £7500 (entry fees) for the zoo.


I was particularly impressed with the use of the 'rule of thirds' with this shot... 2/3(ish) one side of the window frame...

Blimey.

If ever a competition needed a "one photo per person" rule, it's that one.

Seems like some people have about a dozen entries!

You pay £5 to enter up to 5 photos, you can have 2 entries of 5 if you wish but you have to pay more.

ah - missed that bit. So, with multiple entries, probably nearer to £2-£3k in entry fees assuming not everyone entered 5!
