Hey all.

Voting for April Photo of the Month is now up and running.
13 great and grand entries this month. All of you deserve a pat on the back for some amazing photos

The theme was 'Design & Architecture'.

Entries can he found here.

Best of luck to everyone!
-Richard


[edit] Andel made this a global - we have so many members here, I wanted to encourage a few votes to add a bit of excitement!

Some good photos here, I voted for the one that identified some truly iconic design. Nicely composed too.

I agree, good luck to the entries!

Should we also not give feedback, because some pictures, although nice ideas are not executed that well.
47407: idea nice, an old and a new version of a London(?) Two floored coach. However, the top of the photo overexposed.
47434: boring composition also should have at least been cropped at the top.
A321Pilot: a lot of noise it seams, also perhaps to increase focus on the height of the building in the centre the left side could have been cropped.
Ameecher: I like this one, but this could have been a lot better by making two changes: making the horizon horizontal and cropping the top.
Andel: nice composition
Andrew 350: quite nice, the white/greyish in the middle towards the bottom could have been cloned away.
DaveW: nice one, some old and new architecture combined. Again I have the feeling the horizon could have been a bit more leveled.
doktorhonig: interesting, a subway featuring train plane and automobiles?
GeoGhost: if you'd made this a HDR one it would have been awesome, or perhaps with other editing: because I would have like it if a bit more details would have been visible in the dark part of the arch's.
JorD1: okay
TheIrish: nice shot (what is it?)
Transportman: interesting building, Antwerp?
VoyagerOne: could possibly been better if the shot was taken with the sun in the back so the entire sculpture was exposed to the sun evenly.

I'm going for Andels photo.

Isn't the submission topic intended for feedback on submitted photo's though?

I wouldn't know of such a topic, where is it? This photo of the month vote topic is stickied in the OpenTTD subsection.

Somebody got a bit overexcited and turned this into a global announcement by accident!

Arie if I wanted feedback I would have asked. This is a friendly, amateur photo competition. I don't care how you vote, but I care even less as to the reasons why. The fact that photo is probably at 4 to 5 degrees either way isn't worthy of mentioning. Also "cloning out" is prohibited by the rules. If I wanted to have my photo deconstructed I would have entered a professional competition.

In the General Transport Discussion section there is a monthly competition centering around transport and the theme set by the winner of the month before.

And indeed, my picture is Antwerpen Centraal.

Bit harsh, arguably an amateur competition should provide more feedback. I can see the point about my one but it is oddly contorted by the slope of the the horizon and the angle I was taking the photo at.

Maybe, but to systematically find an error in every photo is equally as harsh imo.

Pah, I only made it global to encourage some more votes....

I apologise to Arie publically for my outburst above, it was rather unnecessary I must admit. Maybe we need that sort of feedback... But on the other hand it'd probably but people off.

Maybe that's a good idea Owen, I mean, it'll give the thread more publicity.

Also Congratulations to Dave on such as beautiful shot to win the competition.

Well done David - lovely photo and your outburst and subsequent sympathy votes evidently won you the day!!

We all know you only made it global because all the regular voters had already voted and you were losing sweetheart

Hell. Yes.

I would have liked Arie to tell me why my awesome depiction of that masterpiece of design in a subway station got zero votes.

So that's why I couldn't see the damn thing the other day
Could a sub-section perhaps be considered somewhere? For storing all the topics in.


Well done Dave! Let me know what you'd like the theme for May to be

Well done Dave! Congrats!
