Campaign to urge crash helmets for motorcycle travels begins

Same effect as pissing into the wind.

The horizon is still too bright, to see the stars like in your picture.

Nice shot, anyway.

The brightness on the horizon is very normal for night shots like this taken in urban areas. The brightness you see is the light that emanates from the city proper in the distant background. With long exposures, these urban lights will produce brightness on the horizon.

There is water in this shot, really ! ! ! !

Removing graft and corruption from Thai society will reduce the standard of living in Thailand to that of undeveloped African countries!

Hey Shaggy . . .

When the stability of a tripod is not enough, there is the quadrapod attachment.

Here is my latest tripod with quadrapod. This model quadrapod comes with its own head and a tail! Moments before he was resting his head on the leg of my tripod!!!

Hey Bundycat. Looks like you've put on a few kilos or maybe it's just thick hair.

Bravo to the final edit, rythmworks.+2

He said he was certain no Thai would be so cruel to carry out the deadly attack on their fellow countrymen.

Maybe he never read about the human trafficking or the Thai couple that threw boiling water on the child that they forced to be their house slave.

No, no Thais could ever do this!

I bought at a great price on e-Bay. Bought like 10 units in one purchase.

Yummy fried chicken, with Roza!..... (just for DAL)

Jimmy, all this food you post looks so, so good! But . . . I think you are going to need heavy dosages of Lipitor to keep your arteries from turning to concrete!

I think most would agree that "likes" are handed out quite liberally here on this forum and for good reason, it a means of encouraging other members and showing appreciation for their willingness to share their images. It's not a great metric for judging a contest. That said, I've seen numerous on-line contests like this and here are two possible solutions that I have seen employed on other contests:

1. Allow members to submit photos and people can "like" all they want to. However at the end of the month, ask the members to post one vote each for their favourite photo. The top three vote-getters win. Then post the top maybe 6 images to the gallery.

2. Let the moderator choose the first winners. From that point on, the first place winner then selects the winners from the following month's contest. They can pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and three honourable mentions. These then are added to the gallery.

However, if neither of these ideas are satisfactory then I would suggest just including the top 6 images ("likes") each month to be included in the gallery; the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and three honourable mentions. This would tend to make the gallery something more special than a near duplicate of the contest thread.

Thanks Shaggy. You're too kind.
