Voting Time for March Challenge: People.

[Colblimp]

Well what a fantastic array of images for this month's challenge, thanks to everyone for entering!  I really struggled to get to just 8 pics, the entries were really strong.  In any other competition, some of the excluded photos would win, such was the quality of your pictures.  Anyway, here's the 8 - you've until 21.00 on the 7th April UK time to get your vote in.  Good luck!

Thanks Andy for selecting one of mine. Tough choice you had!

 

[Mr Standfast]

Excellent choices, good luck to all. 👍

[Ed Rooney]

Congratulations on getting your picks down to 8, Andy. And thank you for making me one. Another 8 or 18 were likely for the short list—with this formidable competition.

[Allan Bell]

Great selection even though I am not in it.

The image I thought would be in the final eight is not there. (NO not one of mine).

Thanks Andy for running the competition.  As usual a great selection of finalists.  That atmospheric one of Edo's looks like an old oil painting.

It was such a difficult competition to judge - I had 14 on my very short list and would have included them all if I was allowed.  It just shows, photography is all about people's opinion and that differs so much.

[Michael Ventura]

A real nice selection Andy! I could have picked any one as the winner but had to go with the photo that really stopped me and take a longer look. Well done!

Great selection Andy glad I didn't have to short list it so many fantastic entries.

This was a tough vote! Wonderful choices. I'm sure it was nearly impossible to narrow down!

Thanks Andy for selecting one of mine. As others have said the standard of entries was very high.

Beginners inquiring about selling on Alamy in other thread should look here as this is what they are measuring against. 

Amazing quality throughout, not just selected 8, & very happy I made the final cut

And as we approach the finish line - Opal Miner is gaining on Foundry Workers with Violin Funambulist not far behind.🤭

I have to ask. Is that opal miner only 40 years old and a product of the harsh sun? I assume he became petrified after quitting the mines.

[John Mitchell]

Thanks for including one of mine, Andy -- a big surprise.
