>>> Last Photographer Standing Grand Finale - VOTING Round#1

DoctorIt

And now the decisions begin. For the past year, a panel of judges has been choosing the top 10 of each bunch, this time its YOUR turn be the judge!

From the 40 possible spots in the Grand Finale via our four Semifinals, several multiple semifinalists whittled down the list of eligible entries to just 29. Of those 29, there were 27 submitted photos. Your current task is to narrow this field down to the TEN BEST!

Please vote for your (one) favorite photo! The 10 photos receiving the highest number of votes will move on to a second round of voting.

As stated in the rules, you have the next 72 hours to decide! And tell your friends all around DGrin and the web in general, the more votes, the better!


In order of submission, here they are for you to review. Please note these are reduced size for the sake of saving some space. Do our photographers a favor, and their photos some justice, and view them at original size and uncluttered in this SmugMug gallery:

WE WILL be checking the authenticity of EACH vote. If we find a single impropriety, that entry will be disqualified. Let that be known, right now, from the outset.

And know this: We will be checking the votes on EACH photo. Any improprieties whatsover will be handled swiftly and efficiently.

Please Don't ruin your chance at the grand prize by doing anything silly.

Little bit of hype, little of bit of arguing, and in less than 24 hours we have already surpassed 200 votes!

Thanks everyone, especially you non-LPS, but otherwise DGrin regulars, for voting!

Hopefully a bunch of people voting from my office (there is 14 of us using one router - i think) won't cause an irregularity. No idea how the IP's will show up to you guys as our traffic gets routed through the 4 fibre connections at the other office building.

To everyone: Please don't PM me, or Doctorit about voting stuff

NOBODY is being accused of anything. We are just watching the voting to make sure there are no irregularities, okay?

Think of us like the PriceWaterhouse guys at the Oscars.



thanks!
