Remember to vote for the photo quality, not your favorite artist. ;)

Rich Mullins isn't up there, but good point. ;)

Yay! Thank you, Jason. You got them posted before my trip tomorrow so I've got time to vote (already did, in fact).

Now I'd better go vote for ole Eli if I want to make it by the two hour deadline. ;)

When do the polls close? I'm stuck between a couple of pictures.

When do the polls close? I'm stuck between a couple of pictures.

Maybe this will help?

"Back to top
When you are asked to judge there are six simple things that you should remember:

a. Is it sharp or intentionally soft?
b. Is it properly exposed for the idea expressed?
c. Does it tell a complete story? Can it stand alone?
d. Is it properly composed?
e. Be constructive in your comments!
f. Be honest and fair to all subject matter."

Obviously, item "e." only applies if you are judging actual photos with commentary.

Personally I liked #5… It pretty much fits everything I like about people taking amateur shots. It is just a hair away from being a poster shot!
Shooter in the crowd doing his/her best, a few things in the way, tough lighting, action shot, and it STILL almost came out perfect!

Yeah..yeah… I know it’s Third Day, but Tai is ugly enough to offset that issue so it’s good he wasn’t facing the camera!

Just a solid, low light, action shot of an artist playing the crowd and this 'amateur' just missed getting the “money shot”.

Nice effort to the person who shot that. :cool: :)

[Jaxie]

I don't think that's Tai. They have the same build, and a bass, but the hair is different, and this guy has an earring on.

I know I'm not the concert pro that you are but that does not look like Tai to me.

Right you are.... :eek:
See, I liked it so much I didn't really focus on the identity but the picture as a whole..

After looking at the actual player and the background... that would be ???? from Pillar?

p.s. I'm not a pro... far from it... Take 2000 pictures and one of two come out the way you want them two... ;)

HAHAHAHA!!! yeah, I liked that one too. I have no idea of who it is though since I've kinda gone back to my circular roots. ;)

p.s. cameras scare me. :eek:

[Jason]

It's the Pillar bassist.

YAY JEAN!!!! :) Congrats girl!

[Tracey]

Congrats Jean!

[BeGlorifiedInMe]

Good shot Jean. Congradulations indeed!

[silverose]

Thanks everyone. The picture was taken at a concert that we went to for our anniversary in 2006. It was the only picture that came out that night. I just liked the since of action that is taking place. Once again thanks for your votes!!

[EmmoGomer]

Well done Jean!!! Super shot!!

[3D NC fan]

Congrats Jean! Very nice photo.

[Rainlily]

Great photos everyone!!

Congratulations Jean. Cool shot!

Karen, I loved your photo. Glory Revealed isn't it?

Jaxie, great pic of Mac.

EyeHeart3D, LOVE that photo of Jeremy Camp!!

I ended up voting for #4. Just looked like Mark & Tai were having SO much fun!

Great job ya'll.

It's the Pillar bassist.


That would be Kalel. I think his real name is Michael, but I'm so used to Kalel, I'd have to look it up to be sure.

I like the photo. I might have edited a smidgeon of contrast into it, but that's just me. :)

Since I haven't done so well, I don't think I should give advice?

[RonT]

The bass player in pic #5 is Kalel form Pillar. He really gets into the music and is a lot of fun to watch play.
