World Cliffs Discussion: January 2025 Contest (page 5 of 7)

Well, even in the middle of the Kangaroos, you're still following Bruno 👍😄. I was also considering the Algarve, but after Isa the Redhead’s post, I figured it wasn’t even worth it 😂

Otherwise, I had this one, but it’s pretty dark and lacks originality since it’s so "Instagrammed" 😅

And this one—cliff or karst peak? Off-topic, Bruno?

Wow, even in the middle of the Kangaroos, you’re still following Bruno 👏😆. I was also considering the Algarve, but after Isa the Redhead’s entry, I didn’t even bother 😂

The fact is, the land of kangaroos is now just a memory since harsh economic reality brought us back 😢

You’re talking about Isa the Redhead, the terror of photo contests? I totally get you!

And this one—cliff or karst peak? Off-topic, Bruno?

I gave up on Ha Long Bay. But watch out, the redhead’s lurking around this topic

I don’t know about "Instagrammed," but it’s definitely off-topic: Where’s the sea? 🙁

You wanna talk about Isa the redhead, the terror of photo games? I feel you

Christelle, Bruno, it’s not nice to talk behind my back like that... I can hear you

It’s not cool to talk behind my back like that... I can hear you

And enjoy the compliments people give you, Isabelle! 😄

I really hesitated for my third entry with one of these photos taken in Madeira 🙂.







Since I’d already posted one for the December contest, I went with Iceland 😉.

And this one—cliff or karst peak? Off-topic, Bruno?

In Thailand, a lot of rocky pinnacles are completely eroded by the sea... you can even walk underneath them.

Oh, my bad Bruno—I thought it only required water 😅

On Ha Long Bay, I gave up. But watch out, the redhead is lurking on this topic

Missed it, Bruno, I saw Ha Long Bay in the fog and then the rain 😢 but over here it’s on the Palawan side in the Philippines 😊

On Ha Long Bay, I gave up. But watch out, the redhead is lurking on this topic

Missed it, Bruno, I saw Ha Long Bay in the fog and then the rain 😤 this time it's on the Palawan side in the Philippines 😉

Well, if there’s karst everywhere on top of that, we’ll never get out of it! 😉 Ha Long Bay must be pretty in fog mode too

At the same time, given the competition, you’ve got a good shot—there’s not a huge crowd.... 🏴‍☠️

Hi there,

Maybe there are such stunning photos submitted by the forum’s excellent photographers that people hesitate to post their own... I admit I only dared because I saw the contest was slowing down; otherwise, I would’ve held back, even though this contest is just for fun.

Maybe the "regulars" are getting tired, and maybe the "newbies" are only here for practical info and aren’t interested in the forum’s community life (I’m not wrong in saying the photo contest is part of the forum’s life, right?)

That was my random thought for the day, which doesn’t add much, I’ll admit :)

And this one—cliff or karst peak? Off-topic, right, Bruno?

Karst peak, so off-topic. Vegetation never holds on a true cliff, and for good reason...

Lovely landscape, though.

Hi Dolma, It’s true there aren’t many people joining the contest 🤪. That said, I noticed these posts don’t show up in the active discussions thread—I asked the mods why, but I haven’t gotten an answer yet… maybe it bothers them, actually? 😕 Either way, it doesn’t help make the topic more popular 🙁 As for photo quality, it’s really a personal judgment, and everyone’s just giving it a shot, so I think you shouldn’t be afraid of your shots. Otherwise, let’s declare Rouquine the winner for the whole year 😄

Hey Michel, but *I* decide what’s off-topic or not! 😎 Who won last month, again? 😄 Anyway, if I say yes to Isabelle, I’m not gonna shut Christelle down! Turns out, she found another one anyway… But I can’t wait to see yours—hurry up, there’s only tomorrow left to post them! Cheers.

That said, I noticed these don’t show up in the current discussion thread. I asked the mods why, but I haven’t gotten an answer yet

Don’t get what the mods have to do with this?

Hey Michel, but it’s me who decides what’s off-topic or not!!

Okay, I see—it’s a broad interpretation of the topic.

But I can’t wait to see yours—hurry up, there’s only tomorrow left to post!

Got it! But I’ll only be sharing images of cliffs that are guaranteed pure and authentic! 😎

Hi,

Maybe the "regulars" are getting tired of it

Anyway, one person who *did* get tired was the person who started the contest thread two months ago—since they’ve moved on to other horizons...

Why are there so few participants in this contest? Since I’m one of those travelers who "can’t go a day without taking photos" (a claim I’ve heard—and dismissed—often!), I mentally went through my hard drives. Sure, I’ve seen some beautiful cliffs, but the lighting was dull, or I didn’t know how to capture the human scale that shows their height, or there was a crowded beach below... nothing that made for a good photo in my opinion. I have way more photos of rocky coasts with crashing waves and fishermen or birds... In the end, it seems cliffs just aren’t that common around the world. Besides, I’ve never been to the countries where the contest photos I’m voting for were taken. I’m not posting a photo, but I don’t regret it... As for next month’s themes, why eliminate subjects that have already been proposed? This rule should change. We’d have new photos to share... except for cliffs, of course 😉
