Thank you to everyone who submitted photographs and to those who took the time to vote!

Now I guess it's time to get out my floor level photos for the Scott flagship

Hmm, I guess my only chance of winning this contest is to post pictures of ferries at sunrise or sunset. That worked for September's contest...

This is a strange game at times. I'm still having fun doing my nominations, and the task of scouring my photo archives looking for items that meet the theme & criteria is still fun for me. I am considering limiting my nominations to just my one best shot, but that's more to prevent ballot clutter and to keep my nominations somewhat unique. I can find one good unique shot, rather than poorer-quality versions of what other people are nominating.

In terms of winning anything, that's a different game and I choose not to let my fun be dependent on a ballot.

If it's a battle of cameras, my little Canon point&shoot will almost always get killed by the Nikon crew. And that's ok for me, for now. As long as I'm not cluttering up the ballot too much, I'll keep participating, with my expectations kept realistic.

That's true. There are some things that SLR cameras can do that our point-and-shoot cameras cannot. The most notable example is to take an image in the RAW format, which, as opposed to the JPEG format, does not compress your image, so the full quality of the photo is retained. I do not think it is possible to save an image in RAW format on my Canon SX40HS.

A suggestion I'd have for you with your flagship photos is to not compress them so much. If you save an image as a JPEG file in Paint, it gets compressed a lot. This is why whenever I edit a photo in Paint to add text, I save it as a PNG file. Still the same quality, but no compression. This would significantly improve the quality of your flagship banner entries.
