Well, I did not vote Stick's photo high because, although it was pretty, I deemed it off topic. It was a pix of a sunset that happened to have some undetermined ethnicity gal in it, not a picture of a Thai gal with a sunset in the background. The subject was Thai women, not sunsets!

 

OH pix of the musician was excellent, tho could have been better without the other musician in the background. Still, it was the best of the bunch IMHO.

 

Cheers,

SD

My top pics were sticks, the Army girls, both of which I lobbied heavily for. I also liked Entry #2 from Si Saket girl, I thought it conveyed a certain emotion and character to it. Her other entry was o.k. as well. My entry #5 was o.k. basically shot really quick, no real time to play in "reality photography." What pissed me off was, I had it lined up where she didn't know I was taking it, some one told her I was taking her picture, trying to "help me" (I HATE THAT!!!) and ruined the realness of it, capturing her in her moment so to speak.

 

Could have been better if no one was in the back ground, other girl not in it etc, none of which were opotions, given the layout etc, also, I didn't want it to look posed. Opening it up vertically would have brought to much more into it, and totally lost the whole intent and quality. Cropping after the fact wasn't really an option, as I would have lost to much of it... in any event, it was just o.k. Entry #4 was pure crap, embarrassed to have my name on it, but figured the crowd would like it, I was wrong...!!! :) In any event, thanks to those who liked it and voted for it, and to all who contributed.

Interesting I liked the sunset, but to me my favourite was the girl you couldn;t see, wrappedd in a nana hotel blanket, so many times I've seen that, seemed to define a certain element of thai society

 

I really liked the photo of the girl with a wooden door behind her, and the black and white.

 

Of the black and white photo I have been lucky enough to see the rest and they are far better, however involve nudity (FARK< I hear the door knocking, it's the born agains)

Indeed, it's interesting as reactions to a photo are different. I am not crazy about sunset pix, save incredible ones, having seen too many on photo sites, but apparently, there is a reason for that. They seem to strike a note in people. Deep or superficial, but it does.

One thing is, the contest is about photos, not photography, but it's great we do as much off-topic conversing on the board, as on, maybe even more!

 

Hey, my dancer pix was done with a 200$ 3MP camera. Like it or not, it's perfectly composed and the skin well reproduced(went for the untangible of nightlife titillation posting it, with a tangible body :), took the chance it may not be seen as about "thai women", it was not for many) . Not about me, about these little cheapie cameras, they can provide good shots.

 

I hated rakit's kissers. Maybe thai women, but nothing about "thai women" this one. Nothing left to the imagination, strict point and shoot soft porn, "Nigel" could have shot it pre-shagging, and that's a :down: for me.

Saw the rest of those as well, really great effect he got. To bad we don't have a gallery here or somewhere where we can show those, as well as others. Oh wait, we do!! Never mind... :)

One great thing about your shot, OH, is that you approached the subject, very few do lest they know them, and still came up with a candid shot. These performers are a bit used to cameras and flashes, and you succeeded where many fail. With good timing, shot one second later, she could have shown more annoyance or a trivial smile, as this, its got an expression people have well responded to.

Isn't the winner the photo with the largest number of views ? ::

 

Probably the largest number of "jerks" ::

 

I was surprised to learn that the subject in OH's #5 was a musician. All along I thought that was a super-large dildo she (or somebody) was manipulating. :: Had I known that wasn't the case, I would've scored his #5 much lower than yours. As it was, I scored them both the same. (Slightly lower than mine :: ...but fuck, I needed the points to stay in the upper 50 percentile).
