January 2015 Photo Contest: A Monumental World (page 18 of 20)

This is too much, it's just too much 😊 Thanks to everyone 😉 Even VoyageForum’s counter didn’t forget me 😠

Yes, but to balance it out, you’ve got three more outgoing celebrities: Yolande, Ozalid, and Attila! ;)

Well done and have a great vacation!

I’ll leave the choice to whoever wants to take it on

Hehe, Attila, I think you’re gonna have to step up for this one. Have you thought of a new theme? 😏

Did I get it all right this time???

Uh... In the rules, it says:

Ties for any place other than first will not be broken.

..

HB, Y

Even VoyageForum’s counter didn’t forget me

You could almost be Masterpo’s granddaughter !😉

A new username...

Maître Capello...😇

Unbelievable! So many votes for such a crappy photo! 😏 But I’ll gladly admit it’s a nice shot of Maure in the bay, taken over 10 years ago with a little Sony DxP100 or 150—I can’t remember—at the worst time of day (noon) and most likely on auto mode (I’d have to check the EXIF). 😊 Goes to show, some subjects you just can’t mess up, no matter how hard you try.

Congrats to the winners—some really beautiful photos.

Happy birthday, Kola!

Hi hi, Attila, I think you’ll have to step up for the cause.

Nah...

I’m about to pack my bags like Nilsou! !😎

Eversmile or Xyer have two days to decide...

To keep it simple, let’s go in alphabetical order and let Eversmile choose first.

If both back out, I’ll gift you the February contest organization for your birthday! !😉

That many votes for such a crappy photo! 😏

You nailed the theme. Way more than other photos that were technically better...

And happy birthday Kola !

It’s not Kola, it’s Lacalo 😇

And happy birthday Kola !

It's not Kola, it's Lacalo

My bad: happy birthday to Kolacalo !😎

You're doing great...😏

Are you gonna have some sausage and pâté tonight? 😏

You're not far off...😏😛

Wow, 3rd place tie, thanks to everyone who voted for me! :)

While waiting for Eversmile, I’m wondering if an urban exploration (urbex) theme could work here.

Thanks so much! :)

Yay, if I calculated right, I'm the 5th runner-up for Miss VF this month? I'm so proud—I never even made it past the Miss Pâté Lorrain pageant before! 😎

Kudos to Nilsou, and happy birthday to everyone, 😎 especially to Yo. 🙂

(I didn’t spot the trick... 😮) 😏

Good evening,

I discovered the contest results quite late.

First, congratulations to Nilsou, the undisputed winner of this month... a result that apparently gave you wings all the way to Quebec! :) I wish you an amazing trip, and I hope you’ll bring back plenty of photos for us!

Congrats also to Xyer for making a grand entrance onto the podium... and to Nosferatu75, AirOne, and Halo... who finished in a tight race in the rankings... the announcement of which was quite eventful this month! :)

Next, a big, warm thank you to everyone who liked my Taj Mahal photo and placed it on the podium! The fact that it stood out on January 30th holds very special meaning for me because the person I was with at that moment (also a photography enthusiast) is getting married today! What a strange coincidence!...

Thanks to Attila for handling the stress, questions, and mood swings of all of us during this contest...! Yes, I’ll take over the February contest since Nilsou is traveling; it’ll be my turn to face the challenges! 😉

Thanks to Herikles for his invaluable slideshow every month!

Thanks to Kanibé and Lacalo for recounting the points that turned my chocolate medal into silver!

And happy birthday, Kola!

... See you soon for the next theme...

Congrats to all the winners and participants—it wasn’t easy to follow the guidelines this month. Thanks to Attila—you were often in the spotlight—and to you, Eversmile, for taking over next month. I’m really curious about the theme and at the same time sure you’ll give us a great surprise. See you soon, Maevita

Congrats to the winners! Thanks, Eversmile, for picking up the torch—I’m sure you’ll come up with a theme that’s less painfully “original” than the last one 😉 And thanks to everyone who voted or mentioned my photo! This is the first time I’ve scored this high, and for a photo that I personally find clumsily… “original” 😎 I’d entered it in the “Reflections” contest, where it didn’t get a single point. Goes to show, “there’s no accounting for taste”—otherwise, what would we talk about?
