Eight should win.
One should come second.
Seven should come last.

That's how it should go.

That is not how it will go.

Not sure what 3 is but as an alcoholic I guess I'll slide toward 2 by default. And we all know who voted for 1

Side note, shouldn't the poll be public again?

#8 has a weird lighting thing going on that bothers me. The foreground is too dark for the background.

Both seven and eight are underexposed. The effect is more noticeable in the photo of the camera, because of the dark subject and the back lighting, but I feel like it works in context.

I agree with this. #1 makes me feel like I should be a fairy.

#1 makes me feel like the photographer should have used a wider aperture. Or taken a step backwards.

This is such a difficult decision!!

I ADORE Hello Kitty but hate alcohol, and mushrooms are good, but the photo is kind of plain (I'm biased towards edits and filters hehe).

#8 is pretty, but the background choice could've been better I think.

 

-nulls vote for now-

Did I do something wrong with a setting? My apologies if so (I am very new to the poll thing here)...please let me know what to do to fix things if possible.

The wider aperture would narrow the depth of field and help focus the view on the centre mushroom, which I assume was meant to be the focus of the shot. Depending on the lens available, this might work.

Stepping back would reframe, and hopefully get the whole cluster in frame, which might look better depending on the surroundings.

If neither of these things were possible, the submitter should have chosen a different photograph entirely :p

Yes, you did not make the poll public.

You should be able to edit the post and find the little check box inside the poll settings.

I am really hoping that the winner of this contest will carry on and refine the first one...as I would SO love to be able to vote but of course am not, since I am hosting it. :) If no one else wants to host it, then I will of course run it again, but it will definitely be refined as based upon the suggestions and helpful critiques provided during this first run.

#1 looked like it was taken underwater until I looked closely. It may just be the lighting.

All this enthusiasm for voting for who gets 3rd place...

...too bad we weren't this interested in 1st and 2nd. :/

Darn it, I guess I super messed up starting this...and there are enough votes by now that I am hesitant to just re-start the poll: the only setting I see available to change now is whether to allow multiple votes, nothing about public versus private.

I don't think it matters that much :p  It's just a tiebreaker poll so no need to be hard on yourself.

You have to delete the current poll and then set it for Public with the next one.

Yes, but that would delete all of the current votes.

Eh, it doesn't matter. We'll just roll with the honor system this time :p It's only for third place, after all.

It's always fun to see who votes for which entry (I personally enjoy seeing that tremendously!), but I can assure you that the poll is at least set for one vote per account. I'm sorry and will not make this error again regarding public vs. private polls. Third place though, hey that is a PLACE...nothing to scoff at in the least!

 

(EDIT): What I see when trying to edit the poll is as follows, thus I cannot make it public now (which in retrospectively considering it is a good thing for respecting privacy, as in what if it was a sensitive poll that was not intended to be public to begin with?)...

#1 - just one of those nature photos.
#7 - alcohol with hello kitty logos. i find the subject really interesting because of the contrast.
#8 - just a camera. i prefer it being shot from a different angle and in a different setting.

#7 gets my vote.
