I'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to @northy for her time and energy on this thread. You are doing a great job! Congratulations to all the finalists last week and another Thank You to all the people that enjoyed my photo!
This was my first time doing this and I had no idea how hard a job it was to narrow down the choices to 5.....it's amazing the talent on this site :)
Here goes, in no particular order....
1. Jeff @jsw0109 was asked ""For your push this week, I would like you to try something completely opposite of what you normally shoot. I would like to see you shoot something urban and do it SOOC. "
2. JackieS @jackie8 was asked to portray what 'motherhood means to me'
3. Alison @alisonp was asked: 'Hi Allison - I see you have a lot of contact with your grandchildren - so, for your Get pushed challenge, I would like you to capture a really strong inter-generational emotional connection. :)'
4. e.gad @egad was pushed: "My challenge for you this week is to take a fairy tale or children's story and create an image inspired from it."
5. Peter @peterdegraaf was challenged to use the ICM technique.
Voting starts today and will run until Friday, November 2.
As usual, use the numbers for voting purposes and good luck to all of you! :)
WOW, I just now saw this.. must have missed the notification... definitely did not expect to be selected as one of the top 5 for voting, so I am honored and ecstatic! Thank you @slang !
Not an easy choice to make, but I'm going to go with 5
@slang.... I was absolutely knocked sideways to see my little shoe photo up here with the 'big boys' ..... Thanks to my five voters, I feel so honoured and proud! And to think that 9 months ago I didn't even know what an f. stop, shutter speed or ISO was!
@jackie8 Of course you can vote for yourself. That way there is a guarantee for one vote. In politics always vote for yourself. Even though I usually make a point of voting for myself last week I voted for someone else. It is an etiquette sometimes based on our sense of altruism and self consciousness.
It was really hard to choose! All of them are terrific!
I love them all, and have thought about it much the past couple of days, it is tough to choose ...
