It was either 7 or 8. Both of the angles were pretty common, but I did notice that the 747 wasn't pointing straight at the camera. I liked how the 747 pops out at the viewer, and the reflection off of the 757 was realy good. It came down to the first impression, and number 7 gave the better first impression because it was more vivid and crisp plus the subject was larger. So, I voted for 7 :D

OOfff, how did I miss this competition? :P

well....my vote goes out to number 8 :D I think I know who took that picture, nevertheless, its one of the best in here. I think each contestant deserves a round of applause but for some reason my instinct told me number 8 or nothing :D

love the overview of the airport, runway and the mightly 747-400. :D five starts!

VHHH90: I wouldnt blame anybody if this competition doesnt take place each month. Its not like the SS forums. Not many people go to the airports on so many occassions therefore not many pictures could be handled perfectly. If we have a July competition we'd probably have less contestants than now. But, you could always send your image prior to the date incase youre leaving :D

Congrats Toby.

Aviator - Why have you made the contest so long? You say so more people can enter shots. Well, when i hosted i had PLENTY of shots. You said not everyone can make it out to the airport once a month, well then they can just enter every other month! You have made the contest twice as long for no reason. Just because you are contest host for 2 or 3 months doesn't mean you can play god with the rules.

Well, it looks like extending the contest so much has done nothing for entries!

Next month...Or in two months ( :D ) when we get a new host i can only hope he doesn't try to play god with the rules and goes back to the 1 week accepting shots, and 1 week voting period.
