UK Community Photo Competition for week ending 12 January - Magic Kingdom VOTING

[UKDEB]

Wow! Thanks for all your entries, guys. Due to the overwhelming response, I've decided that points should be awarded to your top 5 choices as follows:

1st place - 5 points;
2nd place - 4 points;
3rd place - 3 points;
4th place - 2 points;
5th place - 1 point.

Even then, some tricky decisions to be made, I reckon. Please post your responses on this thread.

In order that I can post both the current week's Entries and Discussion threads at the same time as the Voting thread for the previous week, I have also amended the rules to reflect a new competition closing time of 6am Friday weekly.

Would it not be easier to vote on a poll like they do on the photoary board

[jockey]

There were some great pics so this has been a hard decision. I have decided on the following:

1st place - 5 points; Allie5 Christmas Wishes
2nd place - 4 points; Boss hogg I'm watching you
3rd place - 3 points; Night train Train Extremely non-plussed duck
4th place - 2 points; Alan UK Main street fireworks
5th place - 1 point. Tammy Stringer Main street station

[UKDEB]

Would it not be easier to vote on a poll like they do on the photoary board
It's certainly an option, Jackie. As I said at the start, everything's open for discussion and, if things aren't working out, we can change them. I deliberately avoided polls as I think there are some definite drawbacks.

There were 58 entries in this competition which would require 5 polls. When I've voted in those on the Photoghraphy forum, there have been times when there have been none I've considered worthy of a vote in some polls, but as many as half the entries in another. The winners of each poll go through to a final (in this case it would have to be just the top two from each). In my scenario, you could get 2 terrible photos in the final whilst some really worthy ones don't make it.

If it becomes apparent that voting this way is too cumbersome (i.e. by people not bothering to vote), then we can have a re-think.

[Tammy Stringer]

So many to choose from!

5 points Cyrano - Sleeping Beauty's Castle
4 points DanaUK - Cheshire Cat

2 points Boss Hogg - Watching you

My lord it was hard trying to whittle it down to five!

5 points - Night-train - Where is everyone? I liked this because it sums mother and daughter in a deserted Frontierland.
4 points - Strommie - A single rose. I love the Haunted Mansion and the contrast with the red rose is lovely.
3 points - Cazzie - Donald & dancers. Nothing says MK like Donald and a bevy of girls showing off their legs.
2 points - BossHogg - Main Street - A great photo from the Mattster
1 point - Allie5 - Christmas Wishes - like the blue and white
