A Photo Challenge Year!

**Barret_wallace** · December 28th, 2006, 07:40 PM

This has been an instructive year for all of us.
And "The Photo challenge" has done much for us,
I want to show my gratitude too the ones that has supported The Challenge this whole year, and even taken over the management of it when I haven’t done a thing

Thank you all very much!

Special thanks too, ShadeOfDawn, mollyduker, stine, Fozzybar,
Andres_pad, samsite999, claudeEGYPT and Le Gab
There should probably be more names on this list but these are the ones I know that have done much for the photo section on this forum.

The idea of a weekly contest was presented over a year ago
December 18th, 2005
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57780

So now it’s time to set up a poll to decide who will get the title
“Photographer of the year 2006”

I will set up a poll of all of the Photo challenge winners since the start.
Give your vote to the photographer that you believe to deserve the title
And explain in a post why this user deserves the title.

Winners of the photo challenge:

Stine got my vote since I believe her to be the most improving
Photographer this year, she have presented many high class photos since she joined,
and I know that this forum wouldn’t be the same without her

i vote Stine for the same reason ...

''samsite999 --------> 7 wins
Stine --------------> 5 wins
Playmobil Pimp -----> 3 wins
Andres_pad --------> 3 wins
Evolution ----------> 2 wins
complete2 ---------> 2 wins
sharpshooter ------> 2 wins
sezcat ------------> 2 wins
Apfe --------------> 2 wins
Barret_Wallace ---> 2 wins ... ''

i don't know that you should post the number of wins, i mean there are people ho have great photo's but never participated in the photochallenge, but if you did it, why you did not post every one wins, like Le Gab or me ...

and i think that this winer should be chosen not by the number of wins but by the photo's he toked and the evolution he had here at conceptart.org ...witch is a hard choise to make since we have so many of them ...

well...that's what are my opinions ...

cheers.

well... it's only to show that some have several wins
i didn't se more than one win with you and Le Gab.
and i didn't mean for you to vote cause of the number of wins....

Whooo tied for 3rd place!, but congrats to Stine, she really deserves it. I always enjoy browsing through her photos, and its a treat to see her constantly pushing herself to new levels of excellence. The conceptart.com photography forum is a great online community to be a part of, and helps motivate us all to get out there and take some pictures. Looking forward to see everyones new work in the new year.

Not sure, but i think morbid changed his name from "morbid" to Norwin.. right?
Well, anyway.. i am voting for Norwin, he's not on the list, i suppose its morbid.. so i voted for him.
Boy does Norwin do good!
Cheers buddy! *Cling!*

thanks a lot for your kind words, guys. i'm seriously flattered. and "sorry!" for not being more active in the last couple of weeks - school and work have been quite busy. hopefully i will have more time in the new year.
found it very, very hard to vote - sam, gabriel, claude, morbid and norwin (the artist formerly known as "insane", hehe) were really close in my own small "rating". in the end norwin made it to my personal first place. but i think everyone's done a great job over the last year.
thanks everyone for the great crits and comments in my thread. have a great new year's eve, see you in 2007!
cheers,
stine

p.s.: rhynome, i hope you finally got a camera for christmas?!

**claudeEGYPT** · December 30th, 2006, 06:19 PM

Hey you lovely moderators.. would you be so kind as to change my vote from Morbid to Insane?

Merci Boucoup!

**samsite999** · December 30th, 2006, 06:47 PM

no can do im afrade

we cant change votes, as far as i am aware any how

**claudeEGYPT** · December 31st, 2006, 05:21 AM

Drat, Sam, i thought you had the power to rule the world with those fingertips of yours.

Well, for the record, let it show that Norwin(Insane) has 2 votes not 1

**Barret_wallace** · January 5th, 2007, 09:46 AM

congrats stine

**Norwin** · January 5th, 2007, 11:20 AM

Thank you stine and claude - I feel honored

and of course thank you all the rest of the community (It would take too much time to count all the names here =D)

My vote goes to Sam because he is very committed in the community and I just like his work from 2006.

No matter how good or how bad the last year was... Let us just have an wonderful 2007!
