Well its gone midday and despite a few people not being able to vote a second time, I think its time to close the competition and announce the winner.

So by a short head the winner is Peter/Postcardcv with Orange & Black - congratulations & over to you for the next challenge

Congratulations Postcard on a good win.
This most have been one of the strangest and closest fortnightly challenges for a long time.
Well done Gidders on keeping it going through all the confusion about voting.

A worthy winner!
Having such an entry right at the start discouraged me from entering my shot, at least until I read entries were low. I knew mine wasn't a contender.
Fortunately there were other great entries later on that made it into an interesting & close run battle.
I'll have to see if I can take part more often - perhaps it will help me raise my standards...

well it seems that the voting caused more problems than it needed to with this one... the one day poll I posted ended in another three way tie so I'll accept the win on this one and start a new comp. I don't think any of us want to spend another week voting on the same set of photos!

I used to feel discouraged by the high standard of other peoples photos. Now look on it as a fun way to try to improve. It also makes me take photos that I would never have thought of Eg. photo of a doll, don't even photograph people.
I am always surprised and pleased if anyone votes for my photo.
Did not think my entry had a chance of competing but entered and hoped.
Go on and enter, nothing to lose and as you say, "perhaps it will help me raise my standards". Think its raised mine.
