This contest appears to be more "difficult" than I thought. One would think there would be a lot of pictures with a lot of people in it. Oh well...

Please vote for the photo that best represents our theme, which is on lots of people.

Aw, the contest is already closed? I was going to play tourist and take a shot of the Dam square that is always filled with people.. too late :(

I like turbo-1's shot best, Andre is a close second.
 
I love scooters, so you can guess my vote. :smile:
 
I like Turbo's shot. The only drawback for me is that the bikes are stationary and the shadows could be longer! It's lovely though.

Not to insult anyone, but bike gangs are kind of funny. They're all like serious, and like cruising around with attitude (not necessarily bad attitude since most a goodie goods). My dad is one of them and it's just kind of weird. They were like black leather and drive around in loops basically.
 
Had to go with Turbo, not hard for anyone to guess why I'm sure. That picture with all the bikes and people watching from their front lawns reminds me of the toyrun I go to at home.
 
I loved Andre's photo, such beautiful children! I wonder what they are doing?
 
I had to go with the Little People, and I agree little people need people, especially ones who set a good example.

I like the photo that larkspur took. Great background.

I voted for Janus, because out of all the photos, those Monks look the most natural. They really do smile "at you" as if you were standing infront of them.

I like the Dog, because seeing that in the street would be hilarious. Also, Turbos picture is very Americana.

But Janus wins.

I'm torn between the kiddies and my own pic, the dog. But
since I'm kinda biased here, I won't vote.
:cool:

You have 2 days left to vote in this contest, so vote early, and often, as they say in Chicago.

I voted for larkspur. I avoid crowds and she managed to take the emphasis off this crowd by showing them in silhouette. I sometimes get shots of groups of people from a distance, but rarely from within any kind of a group, because of my severe physiological reactions to fragrance chemicals.
 
  • #14
Voted for turbo :-) Nice picture.
 
  • #15
Ooh, I nearly missed the voting! I'm going with Andre. Little people seem to need other people the most, so I just think it best fits the theme. Turbo's was a close second, again, because of the story behind the photo, though you can't really tell that from the photo.

I had to go with Janus. Monks in front of a Starbucks is just too good given the theme. [Coffee shops are a big hang-out spot in the Pacific Northwest]
