Voting: Round 1 - Tier 1 -- Eye

[Assassin]

OK, the voting for round 1 finally begins. The object for this bracket was eye(s).

Just a few things to be aware of:

1) all participants MUST vote (including ones who dropped out). Each poll should have at least 18 votes.
2) You cannot vote in your own bracket. How do you know what bracket you're in? by looking at the title and not voting for the object that you were sent in the pm.
3) Voting is open, we everyone can see who voted for who.

I know the original layout required 2 people being voted off this round, but since not all participants have sent in their entries, that is no longer possible. Oddly enough, most brackets are missing exactly 2 participants, so things work out rather well.

For the polls with only 4 choices, obviously everyone will move on. The voting is just for fun and to let everyone see their work.

Gotta say, I think the Eye group had the most overall creative pictures. I honestly can't decide which I like more: 1, 2, or 3.

[saman]

i think i'm in love with eye 3

[XanBcoo]

Number 2 reminds me of something out of a sci-fi movie.

I was originally in the eye group and I must say, I probably would have won if I actually had a camera.

With that said, the Xbox one impresses me the most. I like improv and that was good improv.

[Buffalobiian]

From what you said, you would have made an eyes of ice, no?

[Board of Command]

You guessed it.

#3 is excellent. great imaginative idea, good presentation, and the lighting works well enough.

[Splash!]

It was a toss up between 3 and 5 for me but I voted 5 because I thought it was more clever. I would have gone for 3, had the presentation of the 'food' on the plate been neater. The idea is really good but I think it could have been executed better.

Mine's the one with zero votes; Last minute switch from dead cat. :rolleyes:

In that case, I am 99.2% certain Eye1 is Masa's.

This next one is more of a shot in the dark, but Bagandscalpel did Eye2 while DS submitted Eye5.

[Abdula]

In that case, I am 99.2% certain Eye1 is Masa's.
So you didn't catch hentai traders in the filename right, because that was a dead give away.

I can't believe contestant 2 is losing to 3. 2 is so much more artistic and creative. It also makes better use of a camera, since this is a photography contest as well.

I wonder if maybe its lack of originality is the problem? I think I've seen something similar somewhere before.

[Jaitne]

Well.. not everyone agrees on things that they like or find interesting. I liked #2 because they technically must have taken 3 pictures to get that (at least I think so), and it was a cute set up.

I really can't imagine how a dead cat would have been a better representation of "eye" than Jack the Pumpkin King.

[Sapphire]

The pic zooms into the eye. It's rather disturbing.

[Animeniax]

Sorry Sapphire, if I had known which one was yours, I'd have voted for it :)

[Board of Command]

I can't believe #3 is winning this by a landslide. #5 and #2 were my favorites and none of the others really appeal to me in terms of creativity and presentation.

[darkshadow]

yeah nr 2 is pretty awesome, and so is nr 5 ... >_>

[Buffalobiian]

So you didn't catch hentai traders in the URL right, because that was a dead give away.

I left in 0.8% chance that Masa might not have used that, while another member may well be another Hentai Trader. But yes, I based my judgment on that.

[Animeniax]

I just noticed picture 3 is labeled "buffaloeye". Did I just reveal too much?

[Buffalobiian]

I assumed everyone knew already :p

[Animeniax]

Why did you guys have to cheat like that? I think this calls for a do-over.

[Buffalobiian]

It wasn't intentional.....honest :D

When I saw the polls go up, then the post about who liked psykeentry.jpg, I was like "hahaha, not so secretive now..........wait..........:p"

Hence my suggestion in the Photo Contest thread.

I don't think it gave me an advantage much anyway. There are better candidates to suck up to...*cough* ..masa ..*cough*.....

[bagandscalpel]

I assumed everyone knew already :p
At this point, it shouldn't matter if I ask anymore, but, what makes up that edible "eye" dish?

[Buffalobiian]

Whipped cream. That day I learned that the cream quickly loses its form, even in winter. Careful experimentation wasn't an option, so you had to make it quick. I didn't quite make it, hence the messiness.

Other stuff included feathers and matches. Not as "edible" as you may think. I was pleasantly surprised that it could be passed off as chocolate and anchovies.
