Voting: MPC #128: Autumn Fog - Voting ends 10/31!

Sorry for the delay (had to go skiing - no, seriously!), but here they are - the (in my opinion) top 5 submissions to MPC #128, "Autumn Fog". It was not an easy task, especially for those living in the southern hemisphere (my fault, sorry again!)...

I can't find it in the rules anywhere, what's the accepted approach if you have a shot selected in the 5?
1) abstain from voting
2) vote for yourself, this way we eliminate bias
3) vote for the image you like best (be honest!)

I'd say 3) - but that's hard...

That's what I do (and I didn't vote for my own in this case :) )

I'm going to throw up a padded room thread promoting the voting.

Is it autumn and fog or is it autumn or fog?

There is no set rule. I used to vote for my favorite but now if I make it I just don't vote.

Fog that occurs during Autumn. Although as Fuzz pointed out in the submission thread, it was kind of difficult for him since he is in the S Hemisphere where it is Spring :).
So I would say it is kind of really "Fog".

If you're not going to vote for yourself, why would you expect others to? :)

I would say we have a decisive victory by Dromond. I'm willing to concede and let Dro set up the next MPC.

Although I think my picture is pretty good, I voted for one I thought was better in this case. But everyone has different tastes and a couple people voted for mine (thanks :) ). I don't feel like I have to win one of these MPCs. I use them to make myself a better photographer. It is just a hobby and it is fun to challenge myself and my limited equipment.

For surrendering, you may keep your sword :)

I personally always hated winning. Figuring out a topic, starting the thread, managing the voting thread, picking selects, etc. I would personally like to be selected and come in a close second... But last place is cool too. :)

I agree, start a new contest it's over
