Wonderful choices, Wim, but you've left Bella's little girl out of the poll. Now we know you are no longer perfect... but much more than good enough.

Great Challenge Wim, that was fun, and so many great entries.   Feeling thankful you included one of my image.

I hope not. However the editor will not save my edits. Like at what time the poll will close. Tearing my hair out. Which is very difficult 👨‍🦲

Ok I hope everything is included now. The thing had just frozen on me.

Loved all the entries. The only one doing something not entirely right is of course the apprentice who still has her fingers in front of the lens.

Humor/humour is apparent in a couple I think. Some of them made it on this shortlist like the upskirting with a twist. And the Santas.

 

And now it's up to you all!

Remember you cannot change your vote like you used to.

Great selection! Well done all!

[John Mitchell]

Thanks, wim, for including one of mine. It was a pleasant surprise.

[Joseph Clemson]

I'd like to register a vote for the little girl, but she is still missing from the poll.

[Mr Standfast]

Well done all of you.

[wiskerke]

Sorry guys, Bella had to move from spot 2 to 9, there was no way to get her back to spot 2. This had probably caused the freeze or the other way around.

It doesn't show though, because at the viewer's end there are no numbers. Duh.

So still only 8 images to choose from.

All is well in the end.

Thanks for including one of mine. 

[The Blinking Eye]

Wow, the choice was super obvious for me. But interesting that I gave it the first and only vote so far. Funny how that works.

[Abiyoyo]

Thank for choose one of mine.

This might be the same that I wanted to pick, then decided for another, then regretted when I saw it didn't have any votes yet 😅

[wiskerke]

Not too many people have voted, so anything is still possible.

Two images sharing the lead at the moment, but at the rear some all of a sudden are getting some traction.

If you are not logged in to the forum you can see the votes cast before you vote.

 But if you are logged in you can’t which seems much fairer.

Probably. 🙂 I guess I'm on a complete different wavelength than the rest. That's fine.

rooting for the underdog!!! 😅 Remember. The tortoise did beat the hare.

[wiskerke]

Maybe just because the poll has closed during the lock down, but we have a draw.

So we'll have a run-off.

Would Tuesday at midnight GMT be a good time? Or would Wednesday be better?

Any thoughts?

Given the current state of availability at Alamy right now - I'd give it as much time as possible!

 

Good choices, Wim. I didn't get a chance to vote, but at least happy that one of my choices in in the run-offs!

[Betty LaRue]

So when will the runoff be posted?

Well if all 😁 of us agree it will be one that ends on Wednesday.

Let me get to it.
