A poll would be nice

EDIT: Added

 

[Jordy]

I can explain...








No, I cant

 

[Phoenix]

Oh no number six the man just thrown in the prototype card he officially gets my vote just for being one of the few who keep the image of her alive!!!! (which is a good quality of a well matured photographer)

 

[class 313]

Voting for shot, not traction...

 

[Jordy]

That is the general idea, but it is up to the voter at the end of the day...

 

[Mintona]

Gone for twelve myself. I voted for traction too...

 

[Boxcars]

I was going to vote for number 6, good old D0280 "Falcon" , but then I got to photo number 12. It's the best in my opinion so I'm voting for 12 (and I'm definitely NOT voting for the traction in this one) (sorry 153 lovers)

 

[Phoenix]

Dunno if anyone read what I wrote (guess not eh) but I voted for six because of the fact the owner of the shot has managed to keep hold onto such a valuable shot whereas usually a shot that old would get lost (pretty vintage!!)
But hey the other shots are excellent also.

 

[Thewanderer]

A hard choice between 2 and 4 for me.

 

[mbonwick]

12

Because I associate 'on the blocks' with a view from behind the 'blocks' I have only considered photos depicting such (personal preference). Of these I found myself deciding between two main contenders; numbers 4 and 8, purely because these pictures capture the very essence of what I consider to be 'on the blocks', although I would much prefer 'at the buffers' as a description for such a theme. There are other pictures capturing a similar ideal, but don't come close in terms of atmosphere. Out of these final two I have chosen number 8. Although it seems to capture motion (something which in my opinion goes against the very nature of such a theme), the 'not to be moved' sign in the foreground just takes it....nice touch.

If you can't be bothered to read that waffle........NUMBER 8.

To be honest I agree with your statement but as much as I should vote for those photos that best fit the title in question I tend to go for the best photo but I am mostly one of the first to complain when a shot with absolutely nothing to do with the title manages to rear it's ugly head.
But on the block shots always have that atmosphere.

 

[william]

Just to add to my post......if number 8 doesnt win, I'll spit my dummy again

Only joking

No, I agree, the best photo should win, however, as part of this criteria it should also be the picture which best fulfills the theme set. Obviously this will be down to each individual's personal taste/experience.

 

[Gizmogle]

I reckon 12 will get this one.

 

[william]

I like 12 too! In fact very much so. Very atmospheric, but even the caption seems to imply it belongs elsewhere in another topic imo.

 

[Boxcars]

I reckon 12 will get this one.

 

[Gizmogle]

I didn't vote for 12 myself, but I definately think it's gonna win.

 

[Boxcars]

I hope you're right

 

[minette]

What's go great about number 12? Looks over-sharpened to me - although if it hadn't been so sharpened I'd probably have voted for it on the grounds of atmosphere.

Hi minette

I can explain (sort of!)

What attracted me to number 12 was what you didn't like. I liked the sharpness (crispness) of it. Plus . . . I bet my partner a fiver that it would get more votes than her fave which was number 4. I think my money's safe

 

[David]

Obviously I can't vote for my own photo in POTW, which is a shame, as I think it is the best photo submitted this week.

Of all the entries, there is only 2 that stand out, so I have voted for ??

 

[Jordy]

Congrats David

However, this inevitably now means that next weeks theme is Pacers, so many thanks to all who voted for 12 - you've allowed Pacers to be the next theme

 

[class 313]

Thanks for those who voted for mine!

Well done David.

 

[Jordy]

I did like your entry, a close second place too

 

[Boxcars]

Nice one David

 

[class 313]

I did like your entry, a close second place too

Why thank you Jordy, I noticed. So close

 

[David]

Thankyou

The reason why I entered that photo was that when I saw the theme, I expected to see a load of photos taken from the buffer stops themselves. I wasn't disappointed! I merely entered a variant of the theme that still met the criteria.
