Thx 4 the congrats 
I’m glad that most of you like the new theme.
@ bono – yes, I’ve used your shot because I like the atmosphere of that picture. Btw. which band received such standing ovation?
@ felimenta – as I said before it’s damn good shot. I like it very much and decided to put here as good example.

It was English singer Ellie Goulding. She's had 2 No.1 albums now in UK & US I was right at the front it was a fantastic night pity though I never had a better camera at the time.

@ Sean72 - thats my main issue with this months theme. How many of us are capable of capturing an image which will have peoples permission to take ?
Isnt there a law somewhere you cannot publish peoples pictures without their consent ?

No etaab, gruop shot don’t need any permission of people being photographed, because each person are only the small part of whole image. I’ve checked the law issue. Group shot starts from 3 people. If someone of you want to capture happy couple (2 persons) then I guess that u might know them somehow, and tell them that you are taking part of monthly competition. So no worries, keep looking and keep shooting.

There is no specific law in UK but you cannot photograph children without permission. If your taking pics of say an area around you and people are standing around you can rightfully take the photo. You cannot ask everyone in the street to move out the way. As long as your not right in a strangers face

Please mlife, cool down.
you made your point and to a certain level I agree with you. However, the themes here at esato have always been a guide, not a rule. It's also up to the theme maker to let us know how tight the rules are. I wanted a number visible somewhere in the photo. I remember "fire" where a reflection was banned. The actual flames needed to be in the pic. I can also think that theme "red" wants a red subject, not the background.
for now it's"people". To many options to not participate.
I think you misunderstand me... I am cool/calm... not angry at all which maybe doesn't come across well via my writing style but none-the-less "cool"... frustrated YES... but perfectly cool.

I'm wondering... Xperia V (now Xperia Z, Xperia T and ports to some other Xperia devices) have the camera effects built in (Fish Eye, Sepia, Black and White and so on). Would it be allowed to use them, (considering the effect is added when the camera takes the photo, not after) ? (I'd use Black and White or Sepia. The others wouldn't be good).
I don't get people. Never Have, never will. |

@ mlife - I know it seems a little unfair and annoying but thats just the competition. Winners are decided on peoples opinions which they translate through their votes. Whether the winning photo actually qualifies in your opinion or mine is irrelevant. Some people will see the pictures dont qualify and others will think they do - so they vote for them.
This is after all the internet - the home of crazy people with crazy opinions.
I voted for the winning picture for one main reason. I actually preferred your picture but i voted for the winning image simply because it was less, umm.. artificial than yours. You set up the scene which if you read back in last months competition earlier in the thread i was moaning about. But yours was the best of the set up scenes.
I fully understand your point... and as I have stated before I truly believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, mine just seems to be less popular or "crazy" as you say... and that's fine by me. However, and with no disrespect what you describe is more of a snapshot than a photo or "artificial" image like mine... IMO "snapshots" have no place in a photo contest and I personally will NEVER vote on a photo that appears to have no thought other than pushing a button. And let me be clear in saying that in no WAY is that directed toward 9 as it is quite apparent his photo was not without thought and an excellent image but just not a good representation of the theme IMO.... but now that I understand the OP gets the final say in what goes, it makes much more sense.
Great theme for the month however, can't wait to see all the awesome pics.
cheers!
