Hi there! I was not aware of this photo competition or that our picture was selected for it... thanks! (although I´m not sure the one selected is one of our best pics but never mind The location of that picture is in the Bay of Islands Coastal Park (Great Ocean Road). I can´t remember the exact name of that arch (wikipedia says it´s Elephant arch) I think Admiral Arch in in Kangaroo Island, but not sure as we never went there.. any Aussies here please confirm Anyway,thanks! marc-patty

QUOTE(marc-patty @ Feb 15 2007, 10:13 AM) I was not aware of this photo competition Carmella, i see there's a link under "Lucky's News" for this but it's cut-off ("Best Trave...") and not very noticeable. Would you be able to have the photo contest picture maybe there with the link? (might change the pic to say 'Photo of the Month' as well) -------------------- t0m don't forget the monkey

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: 20-September 06 Member No.: 18634 Nominate me as a Local Expert	who selected the nominees? I've seen far FAR better pictures in the TravelPods - just take a look in the Featured Travel Photo section, there are some absolutely stunning ones there to start with. Not saying the nominees aren't any good, but they're not the best of the bunch...

Commuter Group: Members Posts: 617 Joined: 22-June 06 From: Munter University (Dublin, Ireland campus) Member No.: 5389 Nominate me as a Local Expert	The nominated photos were selected from all the featured photos of January. So there were only 31 to choose from, and the judges (people never agree with the judges) narrowed them down to the ones available. All I can say is if there are better ones out there then the person responsible is going to have to request that they be a featured photo. I personally think the judges did a super job. Wow, they're such great individuals. And the new quick link is great. Nice one. Now the competition is really on. -------------------- Bored? You will be...

But we are only choosing from the 31 photos that were Featured Photos in January. If you read the rules and guidelines of the contest in the thread that is pinned in this forum, you will see how things work. I would love to see some great works submitted in the next bit! Now is the time to submit your best photos from then and now!! All photos are eligible as long as they have not been a Featured Photo in the past. Hope that helps -------------------- Carmella That's all She wrote

Tom, you need to submit the sunrise and sunset pictures you had from Africa. Those were terrific! BTW, how do photos get selected to be featured? Is it just a matter of submitting a picture and then hoping it is chosen to be featured? -------------------- Stuart Visit my brand new summer trip to China, Malaysia, India and Egypt Visit all of my Travelogues A collection of all my worldwide travels over the course of my lifetime My latest of three separate solo U.S. road trips QUOTE Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

There was strong competition but we appear to have found ourselves a winner. January’s Photo of the Month is Gorgeous Sunset.
