First off, thanks to all for the great entries.  We had a pretty good turn-out for the first edition of the photo contest, which was not an easy subject.

Please note, voting will be completely anonymous. 

We have 9 entries in the first edition.  Please review the photos below, and vote for your favorite based on creativity, beauty, and overall appeal.  You know - just pick which one you would most like to hang on your wall at home.

So, without further adieu, in no particular order, I give you...the entrants:


Entry 1:


Entry 2:


Entry 3:


Entry 4:


Entry 5:


Entry 6:


Entry 7:


Entry 8:


Entry 9:


Voting will continue for 1 week.  During this time, please review the thread for the TDMMC Photo Contest: Chapter 2! 

Good luck to all participants!

Same with me. I voted for my own, but there are actually two I like better!

if there's ones you like better than your own, why not vote for them?

Because I'm biased towards my own!

I voted for one that I thought best captured the subject.  But, there were some others that exercised creativity in a way that I think should be recognized.  Also, certain photos had aspects that I liked more than the others, but in the end, you can only choose one.

Will the photos be revealed and open to discussion at any point?

I have the poll scheduled to stay open for 7 days but I'm considering reducing that to 3 or 4.  I will leave it up to the photo owners if they want to reveal their own, or if they want to maintain anonymity,

In the end, I hope people would help each other to improve their skillz.

Well, I've decided I won't vote for my own...

Brian, what would be the problem with NOT voting anonymously? (The integrity of the vote would be more easily assured - and we could outlaw voting for ones own photo).

Due to my expertise in pictures and / or photography on the web, I will chime in with my thoughts. There is one picture in this group that is by FAR the best picture (it's not even close). All the others were taken by amateur hacks. This one photo is outstanding in terms of quality, content, and vibrancy. Clear winner here.

Why should it be outlawed to vote for your own? Is it forbidden for Obama and McCain to vote for themselves?
As far as making it public- If your photo gets absolutely zero votes, will it discourage you from partaking in the next contest? Will you just give up and say "forget it, I'm out of my league here"? If you read messages like Joe's calling all but one of the photographers a "hack", and you knew which photogrpaher he felt was the best, will you say "screw it"? I think there would be some people who might do that, and then the contest is down to 4 or 5 people. Where's the fun in that?

Edited to add: I trust Brian completely as far as the "integrity of the vote".
