If you have not done so yet, please take a few seconds to review the Weekly assignment rules. Any member that registers and votes more than once will be disqualified from future participation and banned from the forum.

Since a few images are links to other servers, they may be down and unavailable from time to time. This is out of our control because I can only keep an eye on images uploaded to the FM Gallery host or via Image Upload service.

You have the opportunity to choose the winner for Assignment 276: "Motion". Although all of the entries showed good potential and the choice was very hard to make, I took several factor into consideration, including image quality, subject matter, relevance to the assignment, and creativity just to name a few.

First, second and third winners will be posted at the forum portal.

I loved all the entries. A formidable group of artistic vision that goes beyond the constraints of just shooting traditional snap shots. I find it quite refreshing. Thank you for allowing me to express and share myself here through the medium of photography. "Every piece" of work I have, was created in the past few years for the WA and only the WA. "None" of it would exist without the inspiration and creative focus I look forward to every week. Thank you Fred!

Absolutely stunning collection of photographs. I wasn't able to participate this week because I was swamped at work, however, after seeing the finalists, I don't know that I would have stood a chance. Excellent work everyone, this is simply amazing work from a talented group of people.

Isnt it cray that there is nearly no more real photography in this forum selected for voting - this section will hae to be renamed "photoshop images winners" - it has not much to do with photography. Sorry Fred, I think your photography forum is in the process of derailing.

I can only speak for my image.. It's 100% photography with almost no Photoshop. Infact all my images are that way. I think you would be surprised to find out how many here are still photography.

Merry Christmas to all..

Dave
