Annual Reviews

[HankScorpio]

Being that time of year when everybody looks back over the previous years events, I thought it would be interesting to have a review of all the theme threads we've had (and don't worry, I'm not going to have a rant about the fact it's now slipped into "competition" territory rather than theme!!).

I think the idea (mine BTW!!) has been a great success and I do look forward to each months entries, discussions and awards.

To make it easier to view all the entries, I collated all of those I could into one place and I think it makes interesting viewing:

HankScorpio,

your missing thithe winning pic from the shine on comp

[white_van_man]

The Quiality of the pictures over the last 9 months is awsome. Iv had a great time taking pictures for it. Roll on next year

Great idea bringing all these into one place. I've really enjoyed looking through the stuff from before I found the forum. Nice One HS

Great Idea, Forgotten how many there was for "red" as well! A vintage month .

[HankScorpio]

WVM - yeah, I had trouble witha couple that corrupted on the way up/down.

That's now been updated and you're instated as Shine on winner!

Nice work Hank. It certainly makes comparing them easier.

How about a voting system so each PHer can vote by clicking on one? To stop abuse (ie you get all your mates to vote for yours) only entrants could vote... just a moment's work in html no doubt!

[HankScorpio]

I can certianly out one together but it would be a public vote as tying to PH ID's would take more effort that I care to expend

I did one before to host them all but no one was very interested.

Having them in a thread is OK I think, I'm happy to archive them in one place at the end of the month and then leave a poll on them at that point...?

I'm off for a few weeks over Christmas so quite happy to sort it out but only if folks thing it's worthwhile...

Yea, Being new to this lark (photography and that!) it would be great to be able to vote on favorites here. Maybe put it to Ted about a vote thread each month on the official entries thread or something?

Great idea though .

[simpo two]

Unfortunately if you can't control voters there's little point, as people could simply get all their e-mail buddies to vote, thus destroying the point of it.

Good to see all the pics in one place, there have been some brilliant shots.

You must have been bored to sort it all out though

[HankScorpio]

OK, here's another suggestion from the Scorpio ideas factory...

What if we ask Ted nicely to review the whole years entries and pick a "Photo of the Year!"...? (nb exclamation, v. important!)

It could either be -
all the entries could be included, regardless of which theme or whether it was the winner
or
pick of the winners.

Maybe feature it somewhere on the site as a reward?

great idea
i recon we should just use all the winners from the months
