Shawn-Knight, without a doubt!

The Sky is the Limit... the boy on the right is my son, so of course I think it's the greatest.

Notes From My Heart is my favorite. Maybe because my entry was from a car window, and also because the dog looks so cute and free with its head hanging out the window and the breeze in its face.

Very hard to choose with such terrific photos.

But if I must I will have to go with "The Sky is the Limit" more for how I felt inside on seeing it than it's photographic merits where I am no expert.

Good luck to all! They are all fantastic!

Can I vote for myself? "Notes from my heart",if you please. You have no idea how difficult it was to hang out the window and capture this pic!

Also, I desperately need a digicam so that I can shoot like 1221 shots. Please, cast a vote for notes from my heart!!

04 May 2007 19:51  

So who won???!!!?!?!?!

interested said...
04 May 2007 21:43  

So let me get this straight. After looking at the votes for Sky is the Limit, there were two instances where votes seem to be duplicated. “Brandi” cast a vote at 17:44 and “Brandi Jo” cast a vote exactly one minute later at 17:45. This happened once again: “Charlotte” posted at 19:07 while “charlotte” posted at 19:08.

Clearly the judges ignored this and thus, selected 'the winner'. I suppose if I had cheated and posted several duplicate entries, I would have won. What a ripoff.

I look forward to hearing a reply on this one.

Shawn Knight said...
06 May 2007 00:29  

Shawn-

Thanks for the question.

We counted for any obvious duplicates, I wouldn't say they were cheats, many people have never commented before and expect them to go straight up, if not they would try again, I did it the first time and found I had commented about five times, however..

After re-counting again removing any obvious duplicates (as we did originally) and not counting any anonymous comments, we arrived at exactly the same conclusion one vote separating the two, now if this had gone to the bone and been equal, we would have asked Sportingo to cast the final vote. We had no control over the winner and didn't want any.

I am sorry you feel cheated. I can assure you we try to do everything as fairly as possible.

This competition was all about allowing people to communicate and have a bit of fun, we really enjoyed the competition and hope that everyone else did - I know that many left some great comments on each others photo's.

I also take my hat off to those that entered, were in the final and voted for other pictures, that showed the spirit the competition was supposed to be taken in.

Kevin D said...
06 May 2007 10:10  

Ok, first thanks for your reply.

I just recounted the votes and came up with a 21-21 tie after eliminating two duplicates and all of the anonymous votes. What number of votes did you guys count for each?

Not that it even matters anymore, but I am just curious.

thanks,

Shawn Knight said...
06 May 2007 10:38  

Hi Shawn

Thanks for coming back. I counted 22 - 21 but the extra may have been the split vote I counted toward both..

I am meeting up with Sportingo's CEO in London on Thursday and will see what we can do.

As a show of no hard feelings, I'd like to invite you to a private beta testing in a few weeks of our new site, for feedback and honest comments.
