I just realized why: it looks like a jellyfish.
No doubt! Your ferrofluid is truly "alien", GeoMike's rose has an awesome range of coloration...what can I say? There are things to like about every shot in the contest, and I cannot predict a winner, nor even predict if any particular one of my favorites is going to get into the top 50%. This may be the highest-quality lineup since ZZ started the series. (Great idea, BTW, ZZ!)Mk said:This is going to be brutal. Absolutely the toughest one yet.
I can narrow my favorites to 5 or 6, I think, but the quality and variety of the entries make further narrowing pretty darned impossible. When I think that I might be able to favor an entry for some reason, another entry manages to be "better" for some other reason. I don't think I can either abstain or vote randomly (out of fairness to all the contributors), but I'm having a hell of a time comparing these images to one another. What carries weight? Composition (including framing and depth-of-field), lighting, subject matter, technical difficulty of the shot, the imagination behind the choice of subject, overall pleasing appearance? There are more factors, too, and every one of them has pushed one image or another to the top of my list (more than once, in most cases).ZapperZ said:Well, I have decided that I will either NOT vote, or simply pick at random, for this contest. There is no freaking way I can pick 1. I don't thnk I can even pick 5.

OK, but you should know the woman who's eyeball picture I posted has a tongue like a giraffe.Ivan Seeking said:In situations like this, it is usually best to vote according to tongue size.
I guess I lose. Jellyfish don't have tongues.Zoobyshoe said:It looks like a jellyfish
Holy Crap, Batman! Gene Simmons will win every contest (I assume you're talking about the photographer and not the subject). Although if you have seen a ruby-throated hummingbird stick out its tongue, it is over twice as long as its beak, and the base of it resides at the back of its head and it extends through a channel reaching over its skull.Ivan Seeking said:In situations like this, it is usually best to vote according to tongue size.
ZapperZ said:That doesn't work either, since Gene Simmons is not a member of PF and didn't submit a picture. Or did he register secretly?
Zz.
