The thing is, there are some absolutely lovely pictures being uploaded, and I do feel kinda bad that I'm achieveing the top spot like I am, but if this is how you play this particular game, then that's what I'm gonna do.
And I could have easily uploaded a daytime picture like the vast majority of the ones here, but I wanted to go for something different in order to stand out more. It's why I opted for the night shot in Lich. Obviously I haven't sifted through all the pictures, but I'm fairly confident there won't be many of those being entered, so at least I'm fairly unique in my approach.
Competitions stiff, but your piece would stand out anyway in a fair competition, alot of the other photos are snowy trees, though I quite like the 'At peace' photo in the graveyard, the snows fallen on the tree real nice. I mean if that duck was first, and people can vote everyday, no ones gonna win fairly. So we may aswell make sure a good photo wins
I was in a battle of the bands esque thing a few years ago, when I was in a punk n grunge band. People were able to vote for the bands through text, so when it was time for everyone to get their phones out, like only one our bunch had phone credit(a pound per text) while other bands and their lot whipped out their phones and texted like crazy, it was a contest to see who had the richest mummies and daddies. Fuck them and their racks of expensive guitars, and their fancy synth pedals.
