Thank you to everyone who participated in Challenge 77 "Round". We had a huge number of beautifully creative entries to sort through and it took us a while to make up our minds!
----===ooooOOOoooo===----
Kirean is this weeks overall winner thanks to this stunning and original parachute capture. A great composition that wonderfully exemplifies the theme. We strongly recommend viewing the original size version!!
The Honourable Mentions go to six Fotothing members this week; we tried to find as many different interpretations on the theme as possible. In no particular order:
congratulations to the winners, but as i can read in the "Technical Details" of the third place, the picture was uploaded a few hours after the finishing at 11:59 GMT on Monday 13th Aug ... ?!? ... what about the rules ?
i think, that the jury should check this infos better in the future ...
I can assure you that we always check the date and time on the entries when judging them. Often there are some great photos which we cannot use because they have been entered either too early or too late. It currently says 11.59 pm (not am) but we can change this to the 24 hr clock if it will help.
Thanks for all nice reactions. Congratulations for all winners and nominated colleges. I'm very happy with the honor. See you next time.
By the way, my entry isn't a parachute, it is an hot air balloon who was preparing his lift off. I hope I'm still the winner now... :)
CONGRATULATIONS TO KIREAN! What a wonderful image!! And to all others who were mentioned, too....
NOTE TO maguzz - the original photo was uploaded Aug. 12 according to the date-time stamp: at 14:00 (give or take several minutes) GMT - click the link. Hope that helped.
