You may view the entries in the Competition thread or all together here: --

Voting is open to all RetouchPro members.

Post your choices (in this thread) for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd by listing the member's name. If you want to explain your reasons, please do.

Vote for the 3 entries you like the best - you might consider how well a photo captures your attention, how well it deals with the subject, how well it fits with the chosen theme, how well the technical details are handled -- lighting, composition, sharpness, etc., -- you are the judge of what appeals to you and what is important to you in an image and the subject category.

Votes will be weighted to give greater weight to First Place votes than to Second and greater weight to Second than to Third place votes. When you place a vote for First Place, that entry will receive four (4) points; when you place a vote for Second, that entry will receive two (2) points, and a vote for Third Place will receive one (1) point.


1. Entry X (their name) - First Place
2. Entry A (their name) - Second Place
3. Entry C (their name) - Third Place


This voting thread is now open and will close close Wednesday January 30th at midnight (EDT). The winner will be notified and will choose a subject for February.

Before I vote, I need to say that I had a very difficult time picking winners, especially for "third" place. I'd think this one. Then no, this other one. I finally drew numbers.

With all of the controversy this thread has created, I can also honestly say, well done to all who participated. I'm pleased we rose above the squabbles and created an environment of fun and learning.

1. Ant
2. Kevin Connery
3. Sweetlight .... followed closely by...all the rest.

Thank you for participating.

I particularly liked the drama in Sweetlight's entry, and the subtleties and balance in roxanneed's.
