MDM Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 And thanks from me Kumar. I've not entered one of these comps in quite a while as I didn't have suitable shots on Alamy so it's nice to see one shortlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not entered one of these comps in quite a while as I didn't have suitable shots on Alamy so it's nice to see one shortlisted. My pleasure MDM. Your pic carried so much of the 'flavour of your land' (that too with the Twelve Bens mountains in background) that I found it hard to overlook it. All the very best. Cheers.

Kumar Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Lovely selection of finalists, Kumar. It's certainly a selection best viewed on a BIG monitor. Ann Yup, indeed. I use a pretty huge, color-corrected monitor ... and it was simply divine viewing these images therein, Since I haven't had any experience in structuring an Alamy POLL, I just Googled with that intent, and fortunately I could spot a very lucid post - most probably by you, If I'm not mistaken.

Kumar Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thank you for including one of mine! How do you ever reduce the number of choices? It is indeed pretty difficult. Decreasing choices at individual level can be fairly subjective, and the POLL ! Cheers. Kumar, India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
