And the winner is...

Hi guys and girls!

Ok so let's all remember how this is a totally unbiased opinion. I don't know whose picture is whose and all that. And for diplomacy's sake I am not going to disclose the reason for my choice.

I'm the judge- so DEAL WITH IT.

(hahahahahahahah ok let me revel in my ultimate power for a few more seconds..)

and the winner for this weeks theme, Five Shades of Gold is....

ENTRY ONE!

congratulations!

Consolation prize goes to: ENTRY TWO

Good job folks (:

now someone tell me who I picked. haha

Hui Min

And the award goes to...

Photographer #1!

I like the colour and line composition of the photo, very simplistic, very gorgeous. (And the Ray Lamontagne lyrics are equally beautiful, haha). The second photo is interesting but not quite spectacular. Can I ask, why plants? Hahaha. Good job, Oracle & elk!

JUDGEMENT DAY

Hello! Haha this is wierd, judging photos by one contestant, but awesome photos yellowelk and we hope to the oracle gets well soon!

ITS A REAL HONOR TO BE JUDGING, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY THE ORACLE AND YELLOWELK FOR THIS GREAT HONOR AND RESPONSOBILITY AND yadayadayada..

I actually really like both photos! This is hard to judge because they are so different! I thought the caption for the first photo was brilliant! and you know i have a soft spot for poor old cleaning uncles :( and that photo captured him in all his backbreaking toil! with of course his handydandy instrument/broom.
and i liked the second one because of the hearts hearts hearts hearts! :)

But, hmm, i declare photo #1-portrait of a rockstar as the winner! because it was captured "in the moment" (i quote mr jeow).

Haha congratulations yellowelk! :)

EDIT by The Oracle:
Oopsy daisy. I think there's been a slight misconception! This week's winner is actually dessy! Dessy just joined TAGB this week and so the 2 entries aren't both from yellow elk.

Note to bear in mind in future: the submissions post with all the entries in one will appear "posted by XXX". This doesn't mean that XXX posted all 3 photos. It's just this way because we want the judging to be based at an anonymous level so as to prevent bias, and Blogger doesn't allow individual anonymous posting. And so who ever has his/her name appear as the poster is actually just the one that submitted the latest.

The Winner For This Week's Contest

OK firstly WOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M BLOGGING. Like wow! OK. Now back to the contest. The very first theme for this very cool contest was 'Empty Spots'. I liked the two entries very much but as everyone knows- there can only be one winner (yes this cheesy line was necessary). I liked The Oracle's use of space and use of everyday objects to bring out this theme subtly. I liked Yellow Elk's interpretation of empty spots- like that of an empty stare of a sad woman. The winner for this week however is ....

THE ORACLE! I liked the use of space and the colours in the picture that made the empty spots more prominant and eye catching. And now we shall await the new theme for next week .... and I shall be participating (I would love to!) and will The Oracle retain her position as the winner? Or will Yellow Elk cause an upset and win next week's contest? Stay tuned.
