VOTING IS NOW CLOSED.

The theme for this round is:

Patience

* Voting occurs for one week from midnight on the last day of each month until midnight on the seventh day of the month.

* Please vote for your favourite three images.

* You cannot vote for your own image*

Your 1st choice will be awarded 5 points.
Your 2nd choice will be awarded 3 points.
Your 3rd choice will be awarded 1 point.

If there is a draw on say for example 15 points, then the image with the least number of votes will win, such that an image with 3 votes for 5 points will defeat the image with 5 votes for 3 points. It won't be the '2nd best' for everyone, but it will be the 'best' for the few. If it's good enough for a Grand Prix then it is good enough for here.

Think about what makes the image good or bad, what the submitter was trying to capture etc. It shouldn't just be about the hi-tech professional equipment.

Please try and keep this thread for votes only, it will make it easier for me to tally up later. If you must comment on images and decisions then please do so in the original thread.

This thread will run for 1 week only. At that time the winner will have the option of choosing the next theme, and the deadline for entries to that theme will be the end of the current month.

Most importantly, good luck to all entrants.

Al(ex)

As a quick reminder, here are the entries one more time.

Hmmm. Got my first and second place, no problem. I still can't decide on a third though.

Simply list your three top pics, in a 1st, 2nd, 3rd sort of way.

I've got a number one, but the rest will need further cogitation.

Well, there is the weekend...

Ok so this is my first ever vote and I've really tried to cast mine based on interpretation of the theme rather than outright picture quality (I also made sure to look at the full size versions of the images and not just the thumnail).

My votes are:

Waiting for the stars
Waiting for the call
Heaven can wait

Well done everyone. Can't wait for the next one.

Oh bum.
Sorry!

I'll slip it in now, while nobody's looking. As the vicar said to the showgirl.
