Re: August 2014 M.B.O.M. - uploads enabled

hhhmmmmmm, so many nice shots in there this month already, I'm kinda glad I'm not in the game this time 'round, there is some serious competition. I know what I like and therefore what I look for and I think I have my vote sorted unless someone decides to put in an entry to sway me.

nup, i voted the way I thought I would, commendable submits from all, but as soon as I saw the entry that I liked, I thought i'd keep an open mind.....I came back to the one I liked

Having been a pro photographer, I know what floats my boat so to speak,

and as I said there is some pretty shmick images, so come on folks

BUT you NEED TO be a member to cast a vote, so all you folk who joined and now lurk, JUST VOTE and all you non members that like to look

JOIN UP,
then you can vote too

YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO REGISTER--JUST VOTE

It was a tough vote for me, lot's of photos that could have been great with better composition IMO.

Guess no one likes trees :( Maybe I'll go with a track photo next time.

Over the past few months I've realized it's more of a "Landscape of the Month (with a small, blurry bike in the foreground)"photo competition than anything.

The smaller the ratio of bike to background, the more votes you receive.

There have been a lot of great pictures this month and I think there were a lot of winners this month but alas we can only vote for one.

I like seeing the entrees and sometimes the compositions are very creative.

This month has been one of the best I've seen on BOTM. Great job everyone!

Also check out past winners :) http://www.600riders.com/forum/bike-of-the-month/51847-2014-mbom-winners.html

Well, I could enter a close up picture of my sexy bike, covered in road goo, in my garage full of junk with really bad lighting.........but it wouldn't be very inspiring would it? [edited to avoid failure of the forum humour software] for most people bikes are about "fun, freedom and adventure". Most, if not all the entrees so far have been pretty much about that.

Re: August 2014 B.O.T.M. - voting enabled

I love looking at the great pics, and it's really personal taste, but I can't say that one "type" of photo is always the winner, here in Holland it's very flat so I find it helps to include interesting buildings (well I guess I've played my windmill trump card already;)).

Generally I do look at a nice "bike" pic, but I loved the "Gods own country (county)" pic, great composition, and maybe because the "tour de France" reminded me what a great place it is.

Having said that there are lots of great pics and it's really tough to pick one. I normally enter a photo but I've just come back from a couple of weeks away, taste varies, so everyone has a chance of winning, so please keep them coming :thumbup:

Is 29 the most votes we've ever had? Hopefully the enthusiasm stays for this.

Because of payneib question and it's raining like crazy outside right now, I went back just for S & G's and counted how many voters we had in that month.....

Jan = 26
Feb = 24
Mar = 25
Apr = 25
May = 26
June = 26
July - 22

and this month so far, we've had 31 members vote!
WOO HOO!!!! :cheer:
