Probably easiest to convert this thread into a voting poll once all entries are in.

No. It's the only one that conveys the impression of speed thus far.

That's about what I had in mind. I will bundle all the entries into one post after the closing time for submissions, to make it a little easier to compare each image.

AFAIK feel free to post which one you voted for, and perhaps even why.

Thanks for the idea/questions on voting.

Everyone feel free to add your thoughts on voting as well. :thumbup:

I was going to do a similar thing for the writing competition. Start a new voting thread with a poll and copy all the articles into there. Then clear out the writing thread for the next competition :confused: or something like that. Glad you go first with yours!! But it will only work if there's less than ten entries won't it?
