You will probably have to set the work up and obviously can sell it or whatever you wish when done.

As with the 'Edit This' thread we will then hold a contest.

Enjoy

A sunset capture at Terrapin Nature Park in Stevensville on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I digitally added a silhouetted figure of a woman, shadow, and some flying gulls for artistic composition and enhancement.

At Fort Smallwood Park in Pasadena Maryland, I captured a catbird fly down to a log on the beach, stand on it and spread his wings as if to say, "May I Have Your Attention Please!". I added some watercolor painting and texture effects.

Oh, I'm confused? So this was not a "contest" for the forums, but is an actual contest contest?

Can you post in the contest now please

 

Bill Tomsa

I could have sworn that when this was originally posted, Abbie, you said you would pick the winner (after a week).

When did this become a "voting" contest?

When were the rules changed?

Can others back me up on this?

edit: I've given up any illusion of having a chance in this "contest"

 

Rose Santuci-Sofranko

Bill, that was my impression too. Maybe she changed her mind and just decided to make it a "contest contest"?

 

Abbie Shores

I have not got the bravery to pick a favourite. I am sorry. I thought I could but they are all too good and I am not going to pick one over the others

Is there a specific reason you do not want a contest that I have missed?

Abbie - "Is there a specific reason you do not want a contest that I have missed?"

No "specific reason", Abbie, other than the initial concept (rules) you stated that were changed in the middle of it and then it looked to me like the OP was changed without any explanation.

Since you and the other moderators are always telling us to READ THE FORUM RULES it strikes me that the ones who make the rules don't feel obligated to follow them or at least explain why they change them to suit their own purpose.

So I guess that's what you "missed", Abbie. If the above breaks any FORUM RULES (like "Don't you dare speak ill of a Moderator even when they screw up) then ban me if you must. I don't plan on participating any more Discussions. I'll be concentrating on being productive (i.e. selling) on FAA.

Besides, I have a World Series to watch. GO RED SOX! Oops! Didn't mean to get "religious". Bye all.

Ok. At no point in the top post did I say I was going to judge this or do it here.

I said

"As with the 'Edit This' thread we will then hold a contest.

Enjoy"

The edit this contests are held as contests.

Thank you. I'd not re-read my top post so thought perhaps I had said I'd judge this. I never did!

I'll consider this subject closed.

Bill. What is your issue?

I've explained why I wrote that and what I thought. Can you please either stop, or explain why this is such a problem for you?

I'm working here AND helping a very elderly neighbour who has dementia onset and a broken wrist. I thought, by the reaction from a couple here that I had said I would judge this. So I said I wouldn't be

Then I read my post again and see I never said that

Now you're picking holes in something there is nothing to pick holes in, and to be honest it says more about you than myself so I'm going to let you get on with it as it just makes you look silly now.

Or... As I see you've edited your post, leave the forum. I hope you are off to do something fun. Take care
