BEST CLOUD PICTURES + Week 2 Victorious "Photo Star"

in #photogames7 years ago (edited)

Take a look at the best 5 images submitted of clouds for this week's #ShowOffSaturday ... Then take a look at the final results of week 2 for the internal games competitors... aka the "Photo Stars"

PLAY WEEK 3 GAMES

HOW WE PICKED THE BEST CLOUD SHOTS

Each week we do several games and this is certainly a crowd favorite with about 100 images submitted in just the second week of existence. We love the unique way the judging is done. As @sjarvie5 wrote about: it's almost like that game of "apples to apples" think of judges (aka the "Photo Stars") and submit the picture you think they'll be most drawn to. The photo stars nominate 2 images from the dozens that were submitted on their posts . Then the Photo Stars get together and rank all nominated images(except for their own) and that determines the winner . Simple yet different.

PHOTO STAR WINNER
This game has proven to be a great exciting finish to the week's internal games among the Photo Stars.... You'll see at the end the final standings. Who do you think won???... at the end of the previous game @vmoldo had flexed his editing muscles and jumped into 1st place. But did he get enough people to submit amazing cloud shots on his post AND did he nominate winning shots? OR Did @derekkind reclaim his crown for a second week in a row? Oh the suspense... check below_

TOP 5 = @ScottShots

An extra congrats to @scottshots for having 2 images in the top 5 of the voting... this picture actually had a score high enough to get it into the top 3. We have a policy that only one image per person gets part of the rewards pool, so we're rewarding his higher placing 2nd place image. Still a great strategy to submit multiple images in order to have much higher potential of getting nominated and winning.

WooHoo! 2 in the top 5! Thank you! Beautiful photos everyone, I've been having a ton of fun with these games and seeing everyone's great images. @intrepidphotos' first place definitely deserves it, incredible photo and perfect for the theme. Bravo! And a big CONGRATULATIONS to king @jarvie!

Awww thanks lil' ol me???

Haha no but that was pretty awesome that two of us not only selected them but we did very well with them... so pretty much I owe this award to you ... and the academy! ... and my mom!

Hahaha! Glad I could help.

Yes they had some amazing pictures!!

Hey congratulations to all the of the winners! And thank you to all who submitted - well done! You made it really hard once again to pick winners. Keep the great images coming, keep making our job hard! :D

And @jarvie, enjoy the Photo Star crown while you can... ;)

Yeah this week is a lot more creativity which you're pretty good at. Luckily no stories which you killed us with. But I do love me some quotes!

I did have fun with the stories. Not so good at quoting, but I'm counting on the internet to help with that.

Yay! Exciting to be in the top three. They are all so beautiful.

You done well!

Oh the first photo it looks like a fire flooding scary to imagine.

There really are some amazing sunsets from time to time aren't there?

Don't worry, no actual fire was involved with that one. It just happened to be the kind of fiery sunset you only see once in a rare while.

woooowww amazing..

So I was sitting there, all pumped up for "Where is it Wednesday".... I need some hugs now!!

We decided you were too good at it, lol! Kidding - we just decided to switch things up a little this week. I'm sure it'll be back! :)

I might have to try one of the other games then... to keep myself entertained ;)

Please do!!!

This week creativity... next week maybe back to sleuthing ;)

just admit it, you were getting nervous what else I would find and have been securing your privacy this whole week now ;)

Well, we're just planning trips to places that you haven't been yet. Like, Mars, presumably?

see how you keep giving away too many clues? ;) Now I know I need to look on mars for the next photo.... sigh

Beautiful top 5. All stunning!

Wow I have been in transit and only just saw this ; thanks guys ! What an amazing bunch of shots !
