To keep things fair we will not tolerate any signs of foul play in these contests. This is all for fun so let's keep it that way :biggrin:

Congrats!

Nice work! :biggrin:

Way to go.:biggrin:

Way to go there. Beautiful pic.

Congratulations!

Nice pic. Way to go.

very nice pic....

Congrats Greg! Awesome picture definitely worthy of the win! GORGEOUS!

Nice pic and congrats.Just curious what happened with the other pic?I thought the winner was the red zoo picture or did I miss something?Clint

Yeah, really sweet pic! But I'm confused, too. Wasn't there already a winner?

There was some foul play in the voting with many of the votes coming from the same IP address. We've corrected it and given the prize to the Greg as Exentity is now disqualified from the contest.

IP addresses will be monitored in the future however, I don't imagine it will be a problem. I certainly hope that this doesn't discourage people from entering future POTMs as I am going to make sure that they are fair in every possible way :biggrin:

There was some questionable foul play involved which we have now sorted out. Sorry for the confusion but lets not get distracted.

Good job Greg! Can't wait to see more of your entries!

Yes this has been an interesting contest to say the least but thanks very much. There were a lot of great "top down" pictures entered. I'm glad there were some of you that liked my entry. It is actually one of my personal favorites, for me it looks a little on the surreal side. Thank you to Steve for sponsoring and the great prizes.:mrgreen:

Congrates Greg on the picture. Definetly worthy of being put in a magazine or book.

Although I did not see it, thanks for sticking up for me!

Nice shot Greg!The idea was great! A definite winning shot. Can't wait to see some more of these!

Actually, thinking about, I fail to see the difference between that and people coming on here saying they've been nominated on another site and getting everyone here to vote for them. This has happened a lot in the past.

Besides, Snappy always wins...:razz::lol::wink:

Hi Deb.
In the second case, you have to convince different people to vote for you. Not always easy. In the first case, the same person creates several accounts and votes for themselves. I think that's a big difference. I'm not saying that's what happened here. I'm just saying what multiple votes from the same IP address might mean and how the 2 cases are different.

I've met Anthony and can't see him fudging imaginary votes. I believe he had been entertaining and those people while at his place decided to vote then & there. That is the most likely scenario. There were a few parts to the equation but I think one of the main issues was the picture in question was not considered a true "top down". :wink:

What was done was done to keep the contest fair. I'll be making two prizes, one for each winner :biggrin:

Great Picture.

Yeah, Snappy always wins (that happens when you're good) *grin*


Amazing photo Snappy and awesome collage Sphelps!! Together it all looks like the posters you's see in a nice aquarium shop - all the other photos were great too!

Congrats Snappy :) Definitely a deserving photo. And congrats and thanks to sphelps for a great first month under the new potm format. :)
