Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #37 - ON WATER
Your last chance folks, only 19 hours left to go. Close at 12 noon tomorrow.
I can see its going to be difficult to decide as there are so many good images to chose from.

Yes Dennis I agree it wont be easy - I couldn't even decide which one of mine to post.
However I settled on an old favourite - Yachts on Lake Windermere.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #37 - ON WATER
Well folks this Salon is now closed. I can see I am going to have a difficult time with judging this lot as there have been many excellent entries. I will try to put up my results by tonight.Comment

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #37 - ON WATER
Sorry I am later than I intended with the results, but I have found the choices very difficult to make as there were so many good ones to chose from. I felt that I could have done with a second opinion. Perhaps the time has come for us to adopt a different method of choosing the winners, perhaps by some system of voting. What do you think administrators. ?
Anyhow here are my choices for what they are worth :-
1st Place goes to 'Changeling' for his beautifully captured action shot of the surfer. I liked everything in this shot, the position and attitude of the figure on the board - the look of concentration clearly seen in face. I also like the curl in the wave which brings you back round again to the figure. And the 'feel' of water - yes, one could almost feel that. Well done 'Changeling' !!
2nd Place is awarded to 'Ryme-intrinseca' for his beautiful composed shot of the firework display. One can get a great feeling of the atmosphere of that evening. The two parts of the display counterbalance each other nicely and including just a little of the crowd without them being obtrusive here has helped with the atmosphere.
3rd Place I award jointly to 'Pol' and 'Pops' as they have both tried to find something slightly different to create something which fits the theme. I feel that sometimes 'the part is better than the whole'. !! This I often try to do myself which is why these appeal to me.
In conclusion I feel that four others were very worthy of mention - Coupekid for his action shot of the waterscooters.
Mike Parr - for his fishing boat in the late afternoon sunshine (or was it early morning ?) - Pewidane for his swans on setting sunlit lake, although I did think that the light on the swans was somehow not quite right. (Had they been adjusted?) - and finally Rogleale for his delightful picture of the two kids thoroughly enjoying splashing at the waters edge although I feel that picture was a bit washed out.
Thank you everyone who entered even though you may not have got a mention - without a lot of entries there would not be much of a Salon and once again congratulations to the winners.Comment

Congratulations Changeling. A belter of a picture and a very worthy winner.
Three cheers for Dennis too. I reckon he deserves a medal as big as a frying pan for getting through the uneviable task of having to judge and choose a winner from that selection of superb pictures!
Thanks also for placing my own picci! I truly didn't exect a place!

Congratulation Changeling. An absolutely marvellous picture. The surfer looks like a ballet dancer, his hands and fingers are pointing "Just So." He also looks so confident -not as though he is about to fall off any time, which he probably wasn't.
Also congratulations to Ryme-intrinseca, Pol and Pops for your entries.
Thanks also to Dennis for running the salon. You had a hard job, there.
I look forward to the seeing what Changeling has in store for us.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #37 - ON WATER
Thankyou DennisP and everyone for your kind thoughts and support, the photo was one of those moments caught in time that don't come often. I feel very fortunate to be part of this community at DPNow and to have been selected first among all the fine entries.
Because I will be moving next week most of my belongings will be in a Matson container for at least three weeks and I won't be able to judge the next contest, I am forced to pass the enjoyment of theme and judgment to another.
See you all then,

The winner 'Changeling' said :-
Ryme-intrinseca - Do you as second place winner, feel like having a go as curator for the next Salon.? This is allowed according to the rules if you are interested. Myself, I am going to be too busy over the next two weeks to be able to curate the next.Because I will be moving next week most of my belongings will be in a Matson container for at least three weeks and I won't be able to judge the next contest, I am forced to pass the enjoyment of theme and judgment to another.Comment

I can't believe I was placed second, thank you so much. I've been saying to my husband all week that I haven't got a hope, because the standard of entries was so high. Huge congratulations to Changeling by the way, and to Pol and Pops too.
I'm going to have to think of a subject now! Is it okay if I think about it overnight and post tomorrow?
