HERE ARE THE RESULT FOR THE CHALLENGE #1

Thanks BJ for getting this going. I look forward to the next one and will definatly set myself a reminder on the submission deadline.

Ok Frank, whats next?  

Thanks,

 

I cant believe anyone wasted a vote on mine, it was more or less just a bump of the message. The other shots were all so nice

congrats UF, for a hum dinger of a shot.

 

CONGRATULATIONS to Frank and Roy. Great looking entries by everyone.

 

I'm honored to have won the first NikonCafe photo contest, but most of the credit should go to my model. Hummingbird photography isn't particularly difficult, but it draws an inordinate amount of attention and praise because the wee critters themselves are so charming. I'd also like to thank Yves for setting up the contest, and making it a theme that challenged me to look at my victims... err, subjects... in a different way. I had to develop new techniques to freeze the hummer's body while showing its wings in full motion, and that approach is leading me to exciting directions I hadn't considered before.

Give me a day to think over the theme for the next contest, and to consult with Yves about the rules. And thanks to those who voted for Wings of Light. Getting approval from such a fine group of photographers is an honor indeed.

 

It was a fun challenge in any event and my congratulations to Uncle Frank for an absolutely stunning image. It definitely conveyed the theme of challenge. Also Rory, yours was a "moving" image as well that was well photographed and presented. Thanks Yves for leading our first Nikon Cafe challenge competition.

 

Congrats to Uncle Frank - that was a great photo! My only suggestion is to figure out an easier way to vote...

Thanks for getting us started Yves.

 

This is much easier than any general election in florida  

 

My congrat's to UF for a very nice, well presented image. I've heard folks talk about him almost since I got into this avocation a little over a year ago, and all comments have been very complementary. Since he has joined the Café, I can certainly see why....  

My main thanks have to go to Yves, for starting what I truly hope will be the first of many Nikoncafe challenges. The way that he set up the contest, laid out the rules in such a clear fashion, and set up and ran the contest and voting were nothing short of exemplary. Sort of like what we have all come to expect from his photographs....  

So again, a very big congratulation to Frank, and a huge thank you to our Ami, Yves. :!: :!:

Regards,

Frank
