Aril Challenge CITY - Time to Vote

[Colin Woods]

Well here we are again folks, time to vote for the monthly challenge. This month's topic was City and as usual there were so many good entries. The standard in the last few months has really been excellent. Getting down to the last 15 was OK, down to 12 hard and down to 8 meant that 4 really great pictures were finally put aside. The final 8 are

 

1.  Lynn Palmer's Miami

 

 

2. Olivier Parent's Paris

 

 

 

3. Arterra's Colmar

 

 

4. Callie's Berlin

 

5. Ann's New York

 

 

6. Bryan's Newcastle

 

 

7. ColdCoffee's Charlotte

 

 

8. Kumar's Singapore

Oh, wow. How to choose? How choose?

 

Paulette

Ditto. I adore several, and my two favorites, which appear different as day & night, are impossible to choose between, short of flipping a mental coin.

[Colin Woods]

Sorry Doc, this is what happens when you set up polls late at night. They say that insanity is hereditary - you get it from your kids. They are probably right. If its any consolation you were in the final 12.

Thanks for including my soggy street shot Colin, surprised, but pleased, it made the cut.

[Alexandre Fagundes]

Congrats to the short list, great images

[Alberto]

Congrats to the finalist; voted!

[Lynn Palmer]

Thank you Colin, I feel like a winner just being shortlisted from among so many excellent submissions!

[David Davies]

Great images here, difficult to chose, but have placed my vote!

Congrats to the winner

[Arletta]

What is "Aril"?

[ColdCoffee]

Thank your for selecting my Charlotte photo!

When does voting actually close, Colin? 

[Colin Woods]

Normally voting closes at the end of the 7th of each month. This month, however, I think I will announce Olivier's photo of Paris as the winner this evening (the 5th). He has such a commanding lead. So if you think Olivier should not win, now's the time to vote.

[Colin Woods]

Its now the evening of the 5th and with Olivier's knockout shot of Paris in an unassailable lead I am closing voting and announcing that he is the winner. Thanks to everyone who entered - again the standard was really excellent. Congratulations to Olivier and its over to him to set the next theme.

[Callie]

congrats Olivier, fantastic image and well deserved win

[hdh]

Congrats from me - really a great shot and well deserving first place! 

[Doc]

Congratulations Olivier! Great shot, well deserved win ????
