POLL: Round 1: Sam Fear's Big BIG Photo Contest :POLL

[Sam_Fear]

POLL: ROUND 1 SFBBPC

I had to put the pics below - #'s at the TOP of pics correspond to poll #'s

---ALL RRR MEMBERS CAN VOTE---

PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN PICTURE! (Are you really that vain?)


These 10 are what I liked the best. Cutting what didn't make it in the poll was tough! In fact, if I chose again tomorrow, a couple pics might be different. In the end, I started looking at things like bumpers cut off or not quite focused well. Then I had to get real picky!

If you wonder why I did or didn't pick your shot or just want to ask others what would make a better shot, feel free to ask in the 'Round 1 Submission Thread' (not here) - now that this round is closed, it seems that would be a great place to discuss such things.

Thanks to everyone that participated this round and I hope you'll try again in the next!

Well, looks like the poll is working right! [cl. Let me know if anybody has an issue voting. I hope no one minds it lists what you voted for.

200+ Views and only 33 votes? Are there poll lurkers, or are BobW and LowBudget checking constantly to see if they've taken the lead? [ddd

 

[soltz]

I'm sure it's in the rules but i don't want to read it all again and don't remember seeing it. [S
"one vote per member", correct [S

 

[Sam_Fear]

Yep. The poll is set up that way - it won't let you select more than one.

You can blame me for a dozen views and no vote... can't make a decision, but I will before its over!

I'm getting Xs on 2 6 and 9, don't know if is my computer or something else, i'll wait to vote until later.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Might wanna try just reloading the page. Those pics are on RRR, so there might be a clogged connection between you and Tejas.

 

[Old Iron]

I'm having a hard time deciding, the entries are great [P

 

[soltz]

Bruno, i've had problems in the past, i switched from internet explore to firefox ans found it works much better. might help [S

OldIron, agreed to many nice cars.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Poll closes this evening. So cast your vote fellas!!!

 

[earthman]

Only 40 votes so far? Most of us must be thinking this is as phony as a Presidential election. No electoral college here guys. Just three more votes could put foto #1 in the lead.

 

[Bamamav]

Maybe everybody else knowing who you voted for is killing the vote? [S
Doesn't matter to me, I voted after a long consideration of each pic, but some people would rather be unknown....

I just answered a fellow on another site that was discouraged about the low number of responses. And the site is ten times as big as RRR. I don't know what the secret is to motivate people, to create enthusisam.
Sam has done a great job putting this contest together and promoting it. Let's see a last minute surge at the polls guys.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Thanks Bob! I'm guessing Old Iron is happy with the turn out so far... [ddd

I think next round I'll make it anonymous and if people want to post who they voted for they can.

Seems votes have been about 10% of views all along. ...and my views are about 10% as well. You also have to figure participation on the board slows down during the summer anyhow. I didn't think at the time, but I kinda picked a bad week to put up a poll.

No worries, as long as the photo's keep coming in for Round II.

 

[Sam_Fear]

1st - Old Iron
2nd - BobW
3rd - LowBudget50

Congrats guys!!! - that gets all 3 of you a place in the final round. But keep submitting pics, you can earn up to 3 spots in the feature poll. (Place again and better your chances)

Old Iron, you are the judge for next round. I'll be PM'ing you tomorrow.

 

[soltz]

Thanks Sam, you rock

 

[Snake Farm]

Congrats guys! And thank you Sam! [cl[cl[cl

[DozerII]
