Winner(s) for "Summer" - Static Shots

Jun 05, 2016,22:15 PM
 

I was surprised when Robin approached me as the judge for Static Shots (not on the wrist) and without hesitation I accepted the honour, thinking that it won't be a tough job... but how wrong was I! The quality of the entries was exceptional and I told Robin that there's no way I can strictly adhere to the judging rule by selecting merely the top 3 winners. So I'll bend the rule a little by sharing my picks in a few categories which I think best representing the "Summer" theme before announcing the winner smile


Now, which are the categories I have in mind for "Summer"? They are:
1. Harvest 
2. Beach/Water fun
3. Outdoor activities
You get to collect the harvest and have the best outdoor fun during Summer! 

So without further ado, my picks:

Cat.1 - Harvest

From amanico: Perfect AP goodness with the wonderful gift from the nature

And now, the winner of Static Shot goes to:

Subexplorer smile

That shot of Oris is of great quality and immediately a potential winner the moment I saw it. Congratulations!

Just to add:
Our friends amanico, ch9698 and andrewluff have multiple shortlists purely by chance because their styles of photography and submissions matched my judging criteria very closely. The other entries for static shots are very nice too which make judging so much a challenge but fun! 

Thanks for the opportunity PuristSPro! wink

Best,
Wayne

The yellow flipflops have unfortunately fractured and have been disposed of, but perhaps my new white ones would make a better 'bunny' ;-) Abel's sunset shot was brilliant - congrats!

Thanks very much
