Aggghhhhh! its a close tie between ZZ'z and Scorpa's
i can't decide, its too hard!
 
O swerve O's was a really neat pic so I picked that one, very tough choice though!
 
Touch chioce between Zz and Janus.

Suggestion : Zz, how about you put a link to the post where the participant posted the photograph in the contest thread. Some of us may not have followed the original thread to know what is in the picture. :smile:

Hmm :/ I don't think I submitted one?
 
Oooh ZapperZ looks like he gets all the fun :(

You get my vote, and a close 2nd for Janus.

0TheSwerve0 has some artistic flare ;)
 
Not sure if mine's obvious, but its a picture of arms.
 
I went with Gokul. I just enjoy architecture, even if all the Ohio universities copy off one another. :smile:

Theswerve wins this one...hands down! :biggrin:

I wish the captions were up with the pictures, just for this round. Clever captioning is almost as important to the overall effect as a good picture.

Just a reminder that you have 2 days left to vote in this first round, if you haven't done so already.

What happened to Gokul's picture? It looks like the link broke!
 
  • #13
I voted for scorpa. Crazy people like that on the streets make life interesting, reminds me of Georgetown. :approve:
