Motion has not been a contest topic before; it can be accomplished in photography and/or computer abstract.

I like the idea of motion. I've already got some fun ideas.

Tis the season of 'Spring' somewhere in the world - bunnies, daffodils, and colourful chocolate eggs abound.

I don't know folks... almost any image without snow can be "Spring" and not much of a challenge. "Motorcycles" as a theme is a bit too streamlined. "Motion" or "Dreamscapes" on the other hand, can be artistic and worthy of a challenge; a concept, a digital creation, a scenario that has to be waited for or developed using whatever skills we have... something far beyond "foofys." Just a thought to what we should consider when considering a "contest."

I'm with you, Nik. I was hoping for either "Motion" or "Dreamscape" being more of a challenge. Maybe next time.

I'm all for people stretching the creative envelope (or at least taking one out of the package) so a vote for "motion" it is.

So with just a few hours to go, what do we do if there's a tie? "Signs of Spring in Motion"?

I seem to remember reading that in the event of an even vote, the topic introduced earliest is the one selected.

Well, that would be Motion, then. I remember it was introduced before Spring. (But, as I see now, Spring pulled ahead by one at the finish. Perhaps next contest, as I have nothing available to enter for Spring.)

The downside being that challenges aren't always met by great numbers. The current contest had a total of 22 entries. Not exactly a sign of mass enthusiasm.

That's something that has occurred over time. I remember contests here, years ago, that had as many as 6 or 7 pages of submissions (12 to a page). Today we're lucky to get 2 pages.

Well, after seeing not just the entries, but the winners, I can see that the site still has a steep slope to climb. Hopefully, there will be some who venture beyond base camp.
