Errr... no link at all really. Even 5 megapixels and optical zoom can't save that shot.
By my count there are only 13 photos in this thread eligible under the rules in the first post. Most pics posted are 800x1200 not the 480x640 or 600x800 required. Only 2 days left!

Note that I have changed my picture on page 2 of this thread so that it now conforms to the rules of picture sizing as stated on page 1
Don't worry, its still the same image!

So this months competiion finishes today then? Looking forward to the results!
Posted by Mizzle
Competition has now ended!
Any entries coming from now on, will NOT be part of the competition.
Posted by fatreg
Janurary 08 has another day though?
Posted by Mizzle
Yep, but it will end the day before the end of the month, and the winner will be picked on the last day.
Posted by rockygali
which means that voting starts now?!
Posted by Mizzle
Well, you've been free to add comments about the photos during the month, and I'll decide on a photo both based on those comments and own thoughts
Posted by goldenface
I'll vote for carkitter's entry on page 7.
I like the colours, interesting theme and didn't think the cameraphone would produce such a good pic to be honest.
Posted by DonJuan
Next month you should have it so if you post and enter a picture you have to vote by the end of the month who's is your favourite entry. This way there will be no arguements no the choice of winner. And everyone has an input
Posted by number1
when will we know who won and when will next months compertition start????
Posted by DonJuan
next one will start feb 1st........ill start a new thread with the details......
Posted by Mizzle
Yeah, DonJuan will take over from February on, due to lack of time from my side.
I'll still announce a winner of January, though
Posted by fatreg
Can I please vote for Dicky Snapples. I'm a sucker for sunset and sunrise pics...
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
I too, would like to vote for carkitter's. Honestly think its the best here. The others seem too typical of a water-themed photo competition.

I know it's not really the 31st of January yet - at least not here, but in order for me to get a good night's sleep, I'd better announce the winner of the first Monthly Esato Camera Phone Shootout!
The photos have been judged on sharpness / focus, colours, motive & creativity.
The winner of this month's challenge is....
Muhummad-Oli
With this photo taken with a V630
Why did I choose this photo?
The colours are very nice and the motive is by far one of the best this month, and somewhat of a classic, but the implementation of the mountains in the background look more calming than, say, a city. With regards to sharpness, it is very sharp in VGA resolution, which is the submitted size.
Other photos especially worth mentioning:
Vipera ammodytes's entry on page 1
Shuroo's entry on page 3 (even though the resolution is too small)
Aldrinus' entry (second photo) on page 3
victorh017's entry on page 3
activeforce's entry on page 6
carkitter's entry on page 7
So, congratulations to Muhummad-Oli!
I must say that the decision was quite hard and I had a few photos to choose from. All not mentioned here - it doesn't mean that your photo isn't good, it just means that there were others that were better
Cheers!

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Wow, I won! I didn't expect I would win after I saw so many great photos were entered!
Thank you Mizzle! I think it turned out fine despite earlier problems (and not just because I won lol).
Thanks everyone else too, and good luck for next time around!
I look forward to seeing what people will come up with.

Congatulations Muhummad-Oli!!!!!
Posted by Twometre
Congratulations Oli. Surely your pic is among the bests.
Posted by Dicky Snapples
funny how Don threw a hissy fit saying people needed to use more imagination and not just post pictures of where theyve been.
and it was exactly that which won the competition.
Great pic non the less
Posted by MWEB
A great picture is a great picture, never mind the why's and wherefore's, oli's was beautiful so it deservedly won IMO.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Thanks everyone
Its true that my picture was a more traditional one, but everyone's photo no matter what should have the same chance of winning and be subjected to the same criteria.

I think what Dicky is trying to say is don't be a hypocrite... Asking people to use their imagination and then choosing a pic that used no imagination at all is a little strange to say the least...
at least, I think that's what he means... but I'm sure Dicky can clarify what he means...
Posted by Dicky Snapples
Reggie summed it up perfectly
Posted by DonJuan
Oh yeah lol i know. But i didnt choose the winner. I had no input on the choice at all
Posted by Dicky Snapples
true,but you seemed pretty content with the winner
