270th Show&Tell Comp.: Play of Light in Stormy Skies-WINNER

[ellisonphotography]

Thanks to all contestants for your entries to a subject that is such a favourite of mine. It's not been easy to come to a conclusion.

The honorary mentions - in no particular order - are:

Nick Vivian - Storm coming to Fjällbacka


Luxun 54 - Zabriskie Point at sunset


Clyne - Storm clouds on Bintan

I love your Alona Beach storm image a lot as well, but the clouds in the Bintan image are very intriguing.

Third place: Jarek M - On the edge of thunderstorm cloud. Brighton beach, Melbourne


Second place: Juan Leon - Arcoiris


First place: Marcel de Jong

A wonderful panoramic composition of great quality.

Congratulations to all, especially to Marcel: I'm looking forward to your contest's subject.

I wonder if Marcel is going to check in soon and see he's won? I did fire off a congrats email to him, so at least if he checks his email he'll know.

Previously it was easy to set up the next contest cause there was a button to create most of the message related to the new one and all you needed to do was add a topic and some text. That is not the case anymore ?

I sent an email to Marcel. Not sure what's going on with the automation of this contest. Someone else before emailed me that there was no "New Contest" button.

Until we get this sorted out with Pbase, we'll just have to post new contests manually, like we did before it was automated. Automation only ever automated posting the winners in the winners page and locking the contest when the week is up.
