Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[BigAl68]

Hello everyone. Apologies I have been missing in action for a week.

No phone or computer access which I have enjoyed and I wonder if you have all already decided to award a winner in my absence?

 

[summerdays]

Yes we did... If I remember it was declared as.....









Youhonestly it was, several others were also chosen but you were the only one not to decline the offer

 

[BigAl68]

Judging is under way. And the competition only closed yesterday people and you will have a new challenge presently.

Is that a clue on the page.... It's @djb1971 's avatar I can see


Or there is a piece of paper but i can't read if it is a list of condemned CC'ers

 

[BigAl68]

Yes that is the list and I put my glasses over it to obscure the names. 7 photos in the first 45 pages. Only 50 to go but stevie wonder is on the radio and the coffee is keeping my focus.

I've zoomed in a little to see better....

Sneaky

 

[BigAl68]

I certainly am @summerdays

I have been here long enough to know how to keep the rabble in line. You are on the list by the way.

Would that be the list of non qualifying photos by any chance?

 

[BigAl68]

Right I have a list of 21 photos that a) qualify and b) I like.
There are two which I would have had no difficulty in awarding the prize to but neither contain a bike. They were the lovely shot of the south bay (@Cathryn) especially as I spent my early tweens living in Mountain View and secondly the pier at sunset (@Hill Wimp) so well played ladies as they mean you dodge the bullet this time.

I will now either take a second look at them or randomly select one off the list. Third coffee first then a decision will be made. By the way only 85 pages and at least a good selection of pictures to judge. You lot have been far too nice to me even if you did all try to revolt and overthrow me in my technologically based absence of 7 days.

85 pages

Seemed like much more I bet

 

[BigAl68]

The victims on the shortlist are.

@craigwend @djb1971 @Puddles @Katherine (a few times as expected) @Spinney @Supersuperleeds @thegreenman @User14044 @Gravity Aided & @potsy

I need a final coffee and will be back to announce the winner in a little while

 

[potsy]

1 in 9 chance to escape, not bad odds at least

 

[summerdays]

I'm so disappointed not to have made the shortlist, still no point being a sore loser, good luck to those that remain on death row!
