March 2010 - Nominate another member's image HERE

The second image I wanted to nominate, Wicked Dark's color version of the grindstone site.

Mossy rocks stacked up, trees, water, what more could you ask for?

Faster than me - I think it took me two days to get nominated. Maybe three. Seriously, this is a pretty generous bunch. But your image is beautiful.

Well of course ... I knew that! ;)

Except this Nomination thing was my idea and I didn't think of it until I'd been for a few months ;)

Thanks :) I'll make sure it doesn't go to my head though :)

Thanks Q1 for the nom. I forget this is here and really have to remember.

I, personally, would like to see this used a bit more stingily so only the best photos, technically in terms of composition, exposure etc make it in here.

I know some photos appeal to people for different reasons but originally, when I conceived the idea, it was to highlight photos that someone had reached a level where ones first reaction was 'wow.'

The idea is that only the best of the best for each month make it in here and not include photos that are 'just' very good. They should be great! I just feel it makes it less special to be nominated otherwise.
Good and very good photos get their verbal rewards within their own threads.

That way people are pushed to higher limits to achieve a nomination.

If that means only 5 photos make it .... then fine. If 20 or more make it and qualify as great ... then even better.

well said MA. I can say that the shots I nominate are always ones that make me say 'wow'.
