I vote for Cockatoo

[bigberta]

Cockatoo is a god... So obviously, I'm voting for him.

9-5 cockatoo in the lead

[Hogmeister]

I vote for Cockatoo
10-5 to Cockatoo

[Masochist]

Wow...if I'm not mistaken, Cockatoo's only had one picture that hasn't gone to the Hall of Fame so far...

Have you guys noticed that every so often there always seems to be people who win with every picture?  The ones I can name off the top of my head:

-Colyn
-Travis
-BigBerta (for a short while)
-Nardo69
-rooker1
-Cockatoo

I don't know...some people have this game down to a tee...

Anyways, you guys remember this one?  This is the very first picture ever entered into the contest...the one I started with (and maybe the picture that has been entered into this contest the most times):



Need another challenger...

[wwecruz]

Ill challenge you with my second pic!

[TheTeaCat]

[Toichus Maximus]

I vote wwecruz :

2/1 wwecruz leading

[paroch]

wwecruz - great picture there.  Nice use of diagonals, also like the "under construction" lot.  But the writing on the buildings seems to be back to front.

Masochist's picture is special, but the overall look of wwecruz does it for me.

wwecruz 3-1 Masochist

[N1_2888]

The mirrored signs in wwecruz' picture look quite strange [ ], therefore ...

wwecruz => 3-2 <= Masochist

[Hogmeister]

I vote wwecruz, its a great and well proportioned downtown

wwecruz 4-2 Masochist

[wwecruz]

Sorry about the words. Also, for some unknown reason, I can't see Masochist's picture.

[Pat]

I know Ive entered at least 5 times soo far and almost gotten close but been beaten out in the last round by 1 vote gaah thats hard lol.... OK anywho to my vote Im going to say Masochist here as well....

4 - wwecruz

3 - Masochist

Maybe the others, but so far I've had four 'HoF's' and four 'Out in the first rounds' which gives me a 50% success rate, which I'd imagine to be about average. I getting the feeling that some of people don't like the Photoshoping.
1 2 3 4 <--- Out in the first round.
But thanks for another one guys!  Really appreciate all the nice comments.

Stunning effects there Cockatoo!  I really like the water effects!  Tell me how you did that and I will consider you my emperor... 

Cockatoo210893 6
Paroch 1

I'm basically just using a filter called 'jiggle' in Paint Shop Pro 7. It you play around with the settings and use lighting effects to go with it, it can produce (well I think anyway) really realistic water effects for night images instead of the water just being a flat dark blue colour. Also it helps to add a little touch of the soft focus effect to clear up some of the over sharpness.

Anyway, Masochist's picture is awesome! That one needs to be in the HoF pronto (I mean, look at the glowing effects!) 

Masochist: 4
wwecruz: 4

[Travis]

I'll give Masochist the lead with my vote. 5-4 Masochist

Oh yeah, for the longest time I had the most pics in the HoF (5), but I was surpassed not too long ago by Derry. Actually though, 2 of those five
were from the two themed contests, so I've only won 3 times in the regular competition, out of about a million challenges.

Hmm, that reminds me, I better get to work on my entry for the aforementioned theme contest...

[TopCliff]

Wwecruz 5, Masochist 5. All tied up again!

[JBSimio]

Wwecruz for me... there's just so much to look at!

Wwecruz - 6

Masochist - 5

[XiahouDun]

I have to go with wwecruz. That picture is just so well laid out.

7-5 wwecruz leading

[Masochist]

Good question.  I'm not sure, actually...something I'll have to remember...

Funny thing, I was thinking the other day of counting through all the pages and doing a "Picture Competition Stats" thing. If I find the time, I might just do it.
