Voting will now commence for this month and will remain open for one week closing on Wednesday 7th March, 2012 at midnight. The rules: * Voting occurs for one week until midnight on the 7th March. * 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. 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 (once it is unlocked). 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. Remember - it's free to vote. Al LINKY TO PICS

Vote early and often, as the saying goes.
1. Fire & Ice A bit of a cliche, but I love the colours.
2. Ice Elemental Very crisp, in many ways.
3. HydrogenHydrogenOxygen Ingenious. What else can I say?

At this rate it's not going to be worth continuing this competition thing.

I don't understand. HydrogenHydrogenOxygen - Love the colours Fire & Ice - I almost did something similar and am very glad I didn't now. Sodium - Not sure if I've interpreted this one correctly. I see a neutron, proton and electron which would make Hydrogen, but nice idea nonetheless. Jan and Feb are normally slow months I think. Hopefully things will perk up a little.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Just a reminder that voting will close tomorrow (Wednesday 7th March, 2012) at 23:59 and 60 seconds. As I will be in the pub earlier tomorrow evening, I shall leave it until I sober up on Thursday sometime to collate the results.
Not exactly snowed under with entries this month and this has been the trend recently. Most unfortunate. Been hoping that for a while now. Have almost given up. Al

And with all the results in the winner of last months photo comp was belchingmatt with Ice Elemental. Congratulations Matt.
belchingmatt - 32pts - Ice Elemental veato - 20pts - HydrogenHydrogenOxygen davrosG5 - 17pts - Fire & Ice HeatherKay - 7pts - Glass + W, Ar, N rustybucket - 5pts - Sodium onemac - 0pts - H2OCongrats to Matt again.
Right, got some personal stuff to deal with and therefore I'm looking for volunteers to run the comp. It might just be a time-out for me or it might not be, I can't be sure at the moment but if you feel like making a small, worthwhile contribution to X404, then please either PM myself or Heather and we can arrange transfer of the regimental sceptre.
Al
