Good luck to one and all

Those that did not make it to this vote your photo where passed 'best sell date' i.e. older than 3 months and those that had no date stamp in then. Sorry folks, but rules are rules.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,

Kan Win

P.S. Comments are most welcomed btw

What about Serpico's snail?

Hi 'Patsycat',

Thank you for your good comment.

Reason being that 'Serpico's' snail photo did not have

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

Therefore I could not verify that the photo was within the rules.

Use both ACDSee pro 2.5 and IExif_2.3_en, and I did not find any info in that photo. See below

Hope that explains it.

Yours truly,

Kan Win

P.S. Great photo, shame that there was no info in it.

Re Serpico's photo - that is a shame. I think it stood out as a winner. Next in line...Lioness.

Re Serpico's photo - that is a shame. I think it stood out as a winner.

I totally agree with you. Had we have had some EXIF data in 'Serpico's photo' it would have been inculdued for sure. Hopefully Serpico will post once again in our next challenge and leave some EXIF data in it.

I for one would have voted for that photo btw

Yours truly,

Kan Win

P.S. I did not make the rules, only going by them

I think the 3 month and EXIF data rules are OK. Keeps the competition active and current. But I think last month showed a better 'tie breaker' is needed. First to post would work?

No armchair photographers please.

Grab your camera and get out looking for new shots.

The tie breaker is an awkward one.

"First to post" is an idea.

I leave it to Kan Win to decide.

Thank you 'astral'.

So over to you members.

What would be the best tie breaker ?

P.S. and please vote if you have not done so
