Hehe nice one :) Also voted :)
 
just gone through the first 5 pages, voted for each picture..some real dross there!!!! Some images in the wrong category too, buildings in Rural anyone??? I think by the time the end of july comes round there will be hundreds of pages!!! should be interesting to see how they voting affects the shortlist
 
The Voting system isn't going to pick the winner anyway.
So all of this spam voting isn't going to get you anywhere.

A panel of top photographers is going to decide the winner, so it will take something special to get their attention.
Think about what you want to get across to them, send them a message in your picture, something they will be able to identify as being what Britain stands for or has become.

An old phrase springs to mind,'Think outside of the box'.

Good luck.
 
the most popular pictures will form the shortlist, i think the rating system determines this...

i will see about getting another shot done for it though, something a little different
 
Just having a look through some more and I sincerely hope that it's Dan Cheung and co that will be judging as they'll be able to spot the large number of manipulated images and shots taken on film cameras.
 
all i did on mine was a very slight crop, added a border and tweaked the colours, i hope thats allowed!!
 
got an email back from BBC, they say

We can tell you your rating straight away but the new average rating
does not get updated until sometime later. Although people can rate a
photo several times, only the first vote is counted.

[smilie=t: cheers Pete! :D
 
I recognise that photo steep. Slightly different there though, probably due to the crop rule?
 
I've been looking at the photos of you tarts on the fogbox! A few from OCUK too. There's one (not from a forum I think) of a massive wave crashing against a lighthouse - a great shot - need a good zoom I'd imagine to avoid being swept away.

Nah, different angle, different day, month, year :)

I took that one last November, in fact it was the one that reminded me that the theatre might make a good architecture subject.
 
how many of us have got on the BBCi now then?
 
just had another look through, lots of shots in the categories that have nothing to do with whatever they are in!
 
Still haven't got round to this, must extract digit :(
