WOT !!!! Target: Anyone interested in helping me select some photos for a competition. You also get to see a few less than usual photos of Auckland. I'm entering a "Day in the life of Auckland" competition with the theme "My Auckland". I can enter 3 photos. Based on past years results, technical merit or any other discernible factor doesn't seem to form a major part of the selection criteria and they tend to be fairly causal with adherence to theme. SO I'm hoping for 3 entries that will persuade the judges to put them aside as possibles - better than that seems hard to aim at. I have 21 candidates, some similar, to choose from. I'd be interested in people's choice of the top 3 or 4 that they think are most likely to attract the judges as "possibles". Quality and resolution here is much reduced from originals. Comments most welcome. Answers off or on list as desired. This is [OT] but this is pretty [WOT] so you may wish to spare the list the traffic - your choice. I ask here as this is the largest single 'community' of people I know and with a very wide range of perspectives and comments and choices are liable to be informative. First prize is a camera and the odds of winning are vv small. http://public.fotki.com/RussellMc/miscellaneous/apd2007/ Names not finalised. Using 4 numerical digits is best in most cases. I like "Sport after Death" but would be unlikely to enter it. "Stopping for nothing" is technically bad - it was a one handed spur of the moment through a car window shot - but interesting.
