thats gotta suck for you guys then.

I voted for you RacingManiac, i really like the compostion and lighting in your shot. Sorry Sauc3, i just didn't see anything special in your shot

[RacingManiac]

yeah I heard about that.....not much you can do though. Just hope that Sony will keep the mount so my lenses eventually can go somewhere on a new camera...

Thanks for the vote guys....that night sure was cold....

i dont see how racingmaniac's pic won....its dark, crooked, boring, and gloomy

actually i dont see how either are here, sauc's is almost identical to last weeks, just not in the air, and (no offense) anyone could have taken it

so i decided not to vote

I liked RM's, reminds me of good ol' New Jersey.

A picture of a completely different person, on a different bike, in a different area, who's not in the air, is almost the same as last week!? Just because they're both mountain biking doesn't mean it's almost the same picture.
Do you vote for sunset pictures? Or landscape shots? Or various other cliche shots that have most certainly been entered before? If so, you'd better stop because they're almost identical to ones that have preceded it...

Also, not just anyone can take a picture like that, out of the 1200 shots I took up there only several came out the way I wanted because of the speed and relative difficulty involved of photographing mountain bikers.

absolutely not for that exact reason

MP will you just admit the fact that it comes down to personal opinion and let's get this over with?

Personally I think Sauc3's is amazing.
