With out further ado, (as I think I’ve ado’d for a bit too long on this one), here are my top 8 picks of the very first Mostly Lisa Photography Contest. There were so many amazing photographs, but I had to pick the photos that best represented the theme “Summertime”. And here they are:
The Anonymous Surfer by Nik Fletcher.
Sunset Photos at Sunset Bar and Grille in Duck NC by Christopher Blunck.
“Fireworks over Downtown San Diego” by Buto Hairs.
“admirando… / admiring…” by Adalberto Pita.
“Carnivale” by Scott Bradley.
“Summer friends” by Ivan Gomez.
Who do you think should be crowned the first Mostly Lisa photography champion and win this super sweet prize :o?

October 13, 2008 at 12:23 AMThey’re all great, but I think I’ll have to give my vote to Summer Ride by Rob and Lauren. It’s simple, but unusual.

October 13, 2008 at 12:23 AMGreat idea Lisa. My favourite is The Anonymous Surfer.
JAMIT
October 13, 2008 at 12:25 AMits pretty tough, but i think i would have to pick the fireworks over downtown san diego as my favorite. Its pretty tough they are all great images. For me I would say carnivale comes in a very close second, but those are just my thoughts

Well done everyone! Inspiring photographs.

October 13, 2008 at 12:29 AMSo hard to decide! I love them all. But I think I’m going to pick “The Anonymous Surfer” by Nik Fletcher. I just really love the soft night tones.
Good luck everyone! Those are great prizes Lisa. :)

October 13, 2008 at 12:29 AMGreat selection, Lisa and thanks for sharing.

October 13, 2008 at 12:40 AMMy vote goes to:
The Anonymous Surfer by Nik Fletcher.
niiiice prize, like it :)
TheMacMommy
October 13, 2008 at 12:43 AMwow. Tough to decide. I have to say the fireworks over downtown San Diego is probably my favorite and then next would be Carnivale and then Surfer then Sunset. I like Fireworks and Carnivale for the level of difficulty because I’ve taken photos like those and can appreciate the shutter speed and intensity of trying to capture those shots. Shots like that are carefully crafted, I feel.
