It is FINALLY here - LA GRANDE FINALE of the RHP Photography Competition! However, it may not be as final as it sounds - it is not unlikely that someone else will continue the comp in some form after I have stepped down.
In this round, we are going to vote for a winner of all previous rounds. All pictures presented in this round have been previous winners, close to winning or nominated by someone who wanted to see them in the finale (see also Thread 78714). As there are lots of great pictures to choose from, you may vote for up to ten pictures in this round.
Here are the pictures: http://home.online.no/~khgott/TFC/finale/finale.html
Vote for your 1 - 10 by pasting the number and name of the photo here:
1st - 15 pts -
2nd - 12 pts -
3rd - 10 pts -
4th - 8 pts -
5th - 6 pts -
6th - 5 pts -
7th - 4 pts -
8th - 3 pts -
9th - 2 pts -

It's possible to vote for less than ten pictures. If you do so, you can choose yourself which ranks you want to give (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 5th and 10th).

This was a hard one to vote for. My top 6 could be switched in about any order and I'd think it was OK. I'm going with this though.
Okay, here are my votes, although I think they all deserve a vote :
1. Crystal Web
2. Easter Lights
3. Bathing
4. Midight in July
5. Outburst
6. Fishermens friends
7. Pressure
8. Balance
9. 22 degree Halo
10. Janneke
Although all of us are not professional photographers, I think that every pictures is worth while looking at and I also know that every picture has an emotional meaning for the photographer.

Originally posted by magnublmI like that "Dolmen" got your first vote because it was me who nominated it for the finale. 🙂 Yes, it's really hard to decide, so many good pictures! There are also some others I'd really have liked to see in the finale, for example some of Wheely's. (Speaking of Wheely, does anyone know what happened to him? He seems to have disappeared.)

For future voters, it would be very nice if you'd add the number of the pictures. For most pictures I have a pretty good idea approximately where to find them in the list because I put them in the order of the rounds, but I still have to do some searching.
sorry slightly biased towards black and white photographs.. really nice pictures all of them.
here's my vote
1) sea and sky
2) stormy weather
3) easter lights
4) coming home
5) 22 degree halo
6) copper beach leaves
7) pollen
8) dolmen
9) max
10) just passing through
thanks very much to all the photographers for sharing great moments! you made me wished if I was there to see the landscape for the top three on the list above.
