So many great entries!! It always made me feel that it's not the hardware, but the person who take the picture that makes the difference.

I vote for 3. Fellfrosch. I miss that much of snow so much...

Hi juiceme,

to be honest, I have no clue where it comes from (my guess is a strange structure of the snow).
here you can see the both out of camera photos which were merged to get a 3:2 Portrait oriented pic, you can also see that the reduced palette was not really a choice, but weather given:

Thanks for showing your work on that! I had been really curious about how stitched the images and what you'd started with.

I had thought that you'd deliberately de-focused the foreground snow to emphasize the smallness of the structure with respect to the massive mountain and the even more immense clouds. But snow can just look funny sometimes -- not funny ha ha, but funny strange.

Thanks @Fellfrosch, indeed it is something in the snow itself and not an artifact of stitching as I suspected!

Thanks, juiceme, for a detailed review. I'd like to make it clear that the rest of my response was written with the tongue firmly embedded in the cheek.

Yes, that was quite deliberate

The image would have benefitted from leaving the qall/post/whatever off from the right edge.
I inspected the image again several times and I am not sure what you mean. The only thing on the right edge is a tree. Whether it fits the composition or not is a question of taste. I can see why you might not like it but in my defence I can say that I did not originally take that picture for the competition

And BTW the image is way too small for my taste, cannot really make up any detail in the flowers.
See what I mean?
As before, blame the TMO uploader. As a member of the Council, you have the power to do something about it.

So it's details that you want, is it?
Here you go:

Thanks for the detail, @Pichlo, it indeed looks much better like that.
Of course that is not the original picture any longer, the one I praised for the mood!

And just to remind you, both me and @mosen have offered to host any number of images sufficently large, just please ask us to!
I've got directly FICIX-connected server space to hose away, it's a no-brainer to host few GB's of images for you

Of course not, but it is a zoomed in and cropped part of it.
(Just in case you were going to accuse me of posting a different picture.)

I know. (And psst, don't tell anyone... I myself have a means to host my own images.)

But it is a matter of principle:
  • This is the place where the competition is announced.
  • This is the place where the pictures are posted.
  • This is the place where people view and vote for the pictures.
  • Ergo, this should be the place providing all the infrastructure, including a decent picture uploader.
    The idea that I have to use some other - any other - service goes totally against my grain.

Sounds like a good idea if it's an affordable option. And one way to make it more affordable and thus more reasonable for the community council to pursue would be to suggest members who haven't made or renewed their financial contributions recently to the "keep the lights on" fund (to the extent that each can, of course) do so now. So in that spirit, I've sent a few Ducats, grossed up enough -- I hope -- that maemo.org gets my intended donation after paypal fees.

Yes, everybody please vote! You don't have to have contributed a photo this month to cast a vote for your favorite. So that means you, you and especially you!

Time for a new theme, cause I'm getting tired of this lousy Smarch weather. And my misprinted calendar. And subzero Fahrenheit temperatures.
