151st Show & Tell Competition: Bottom's Up - WINNER

[happypoppeye]

OK. Without further ado. Alot of great entries in this one. Thanks to all who participated. This was a tough one.

First off - the most creative awards, in no partcular order, go to:

Dominic Cantin:
Great catch. Timing is everything.



Brad Claypole:
If you haven't seen the video of what Brad likes to do for fun, which is to tie his cameras to train tracks and let the trains run them over, while watching and laughing evilly from the bridge above, than click on the link.



The most dramatic has to be Chris Pavona's "Battle Tested" - great shot:

For the over all winners:

4th: Mike Stobbs - now this is an angle - I hope your not using Brads camera for this...




3rd: Peter Stubley's "Looking for Light". You found some, and used it very well.

Peter, I put this in second at first, but being a straight-up type of shot, I had to bump it down. I know... Just trying to be honest. It is definitely a great one. IQ -wise, it is great, it was a tough choice.



2nd: Kirkby - good thinking, definitely life. I almost wanted to make this the winner. It's very original. The life of a sock and it's last memories.




1st: Dima & Nelya for a real eye catching angle of the Petronas Towers. I really liked this one and is what I had in mind when I started the competition:



So, congratulations to everyone. I'm tellin' ya. I could have picked five winners and it took a long while to decide. I did my best. I do think Dima & Nelya and definitely deserved of the win though. Great shot. Congratulation!!!

Actually, I kinda feel bad about it Mike. It's a great shot. All the top four were really winners in my book. But I had to choose.
Great shot.

Thanks for the 3rd place. I'd have put the ones you chose for 1 and 2 ahead of mine, too. Lots of good entries -- I don't envy you the choice.

Thanks again.
