Hello! Thank you to everyone that participated in my first photo contest where the main subject was to be the color blue. I have narrowed it down to a final 8 and need your help in selecting the winner!

This contest is slightly different than the site sponsored ones. Each person will be allowed to vote for up to 3 submissions. At the end of the poll, the person with the most votes will be declared the winner! In the event of a tie, the two winners can decide to either split the winnings (I’ll figure something out for an extra frag for each along with shipping) or to take it to a second voting round.

Here’s a quick shot of the frags going to the winner!

Again, thank you to everyone who participated and submitted photos! Please remember when voting that this isn’t a “which is the coolest/most expensive” animal contest, but what’s the best photo based on criteria like focus, framing, lighting, exposure, etc. Below in no particular order are the 8 finalists.

Good luck everyone... Just to clarify did we need a bunch of likes to make it to here??
Yes and no. Some photos didn’t meet the criteria of being mainly blue and got a lot of reactions. Others, while good in some ways, lacked in others. I also didn’t want 5 of the same subject and 3 of another, so tried to pick what I felt were the better overall photos in some instances.

Again, this isn’t like the site sponsored contest. I’m trying to move away from what I feel is the “vote for the most expensive/rarest animal, that isn’t otherwise a “good” photo”. Or ones that are extremely edited in post. I used the reactions to help narrow it down some, then things like framing of the subject, lighting, focus, etc. to go from there.
