Honestly they are all pretty fucking fantastic. I wish 2 things, that I myself could take photos as well, and that I had those kinda subjects to photograph!
Greets Bubble Man ...... gotta say that I DO dig yer macro pics. Always very cool , though I do think that a macro and a cola shot are two different beasts. Bobby S. did a bang up job with tha Sonja and happy he had a nomination, however I have never nominated him or anyone else, nor "rallied tha troops" to win a competition. My vote is my vote alone. I don't feel I need to inflate to take 1st place..... one of tha many reasons why we don't bother in entering ANY type of competition. Usually a popularity vote (bros) instead of by merit.
I mean to be perfectly honest steele i never have felt the need to inflate to win.. but after being in chat today with a friennd who mentioned he got a pm from a member on here asking if he would vote for him. Now i have never taken the contest very seriously but after hearing peeps where actualy " rallying the troops" i figured all was fair...
i kinda just liked the idea of having one POTM on my belt after so many photo's taken and posted on the site.
This is the pm i sent out to be fair..
Hey guys apparently a few of the people i am in the running for are rallying the troops so i figure its fair for me to
photo of the month is up and i've been nominated.
In all the years and photos i've posted here i've never won and i figure its my time..
so if you find it to be the nicest photo.. give us a vote.. if not.. give someone else your vote
So i didnt ask for the vote i asked for the person to vote for the one that was the nicest.
and to be honest i felt the same way that it was always based on votes... but after hearing a person who had won in the past ( one i was nominated for as well ) had "rallied the troops"
SO this all came up in chat and people started saying you should rally the troops see how you do.
If anyone thinks what i did was unfair... you can remove me from this Poll.. but i suspect more than myself sent out a pm or two to a friend or two.....
Also if i won..the seeds would be gifted to a medical patient from here... i have no need for seeds.
My two cents.
Bubble man
Ps, thanks for the nomination doobie...
maybe a new poll will have to happen... is it fair to Let your friends know the poll is happening.. and that you are nominated?
I voted for Bobby Stainless picture, top notch photo there.
The rest of them were great as well.
As for the rallying the troops thing, I think that is pretty lame, even if you dont tell them to vote for you, it's still implying that you want their vote. Dont take me the wrong way please, just being honest.
To be honest thats all im looking for Denial N error and Truly iF BoBby thinks its that big of a deal...
I can remove myself from the running.
I would rather be open about it than not...
I like the idea of a discussion on the sending out of pm's asking people to vote or even asking people to vote for you
The alternative is just letting the people that know about the thread vote?
One idea I have just pondered was to make the voting a closed thread, link from the front page, bam, you go look at the pics, and vote.. Then after voting is final open the thread back up for discussion? Who knows really I just thought that might make it more straight forward..
not first time winners are found like the sit we have now. poty 2007 won the same way for instance. Bubbleman deserves to win but i dont like hiking votes from chat and the chat mods should try to avoid it.
wow you are cheap LolaGal... i had to give all my friends a full 8 bag 5 gallon bubblebag kit and a bubblenow ... Some even needed a beeline spool on top of that.
I will add you to my group of friends in case i ever get nominated again..
