Sorry for the delay with Songkran and all events in Patters and in Bangers and Mash as well.

We have our finalists for this most Prestigious Photo Challenge, The Crufts organised by The Colonel Club or should that be The Kennel Club.

The reason for 'finalists' is quite simple. Some members did not pay attention to the rules which are pinned i.e. either not following rule

4. Photos must have been shot within the last 3 months.

or

7. Please include some EXIF data including: speed, aperture, ISO, and any PP you've done.

as I could not find the EXIF = date on their photos. I did make a request for this prior to closing the thread and only 'desi' answered, the photo has been included.

However other members did post their photos and mentioned that they where our of bounds so to say, which we thank you

Please note I did not make these rules up.

vote where kan? does this thread need a poll?

Hi 'sbk',

If you wish to make a 'poll' please help me out or just vote via a post on this thread.

Yours truly,

Kan Win

A very big Thank You 'sbk' for the Poll.

Yours truly,

Kan Win

I had a thought that I would like to share. The thought was maybe that the 'voting thread' for the challenges should be temporarily posted in the 'General' forum for the duration of the voting session, and could be then returned back here to the Photography and Arts Forum once voting has finished and the winner declared.

More exposure for the Photography and Arts forum, more votes and comments and feedback on the submissions. And maybe more participation in future challenges are the positives, cant really see any negatives.

Only a suggestion

Good thinking.

Topic moved until voting finishes.

All members are welcome to submit photos in the Challenges.

See the photography section for details of the current subject.

I didn't take into account that 'General' moves so fast though.

Still, a bump now again won't do any harm

Two days left to vote for the Best of the Rest 'Your Crufts Photo' and a bump up as well. It was on page 3 of all places English humour BTW

Yours truly,

Kan Win

On Wish of the OP this topic is closed now and moved to the Photo Forum

///CLOSED and MOVED

Thank you "Reimar" for closing and moving this thread back to its rightful forum .
