This voting thread is now open and will close close Saturday March 1st at midnight (EDT). [I'm allowing some time on the weekend for voting since some working folks may not have time during the week. March is a long month, and we'll have plenty of time to shoot once we know the new theme.]

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

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


The winner will be notified and will choose a subject for March.

Janet Petty is dealing with a family illness and asked me to submit her votes:

1. Ziaphra
2. derLitograph
3. Sweetlight

[CJ Swartz]

I am sorry that not all the participants in the competition found time to vote. I did not vote since I cast Janet's votes for her.

This month's voting is now complete.

The images that captured the most votes are:

First Place - Ziaphra

Second Place - Tie between derLitograph and geeewocka

Third Place - Klautt

Congratulations to our winners! I was happy to see new members submitting their works, and especially happy to see such good work submitted.
