Gidibao’s Cafe – Love it =)
1221 Shots, my favorite!
Shawn-Knight, without a doubt!
The Sky is the Limit… the boy on the right is my son, so of course I think it’s the greatest.
Notes From My Heart is my favorite. Maybe because my entry was from a car window, and also because the dog looks so cute and free with its head hanging out the window and the breeze in its face.
I love 1221 shots!
Very hard to choose with such terrific photos.
But if I must I will have to go with “The Sky is the Limit” more for how I felt inside on seeing it than it’s photographic merits where I am no expert.
I have to go with The Sky is the Limit….It is truly looking through a window and you get both persepectives.
The Sky is the Limit is just too cute!!
Notes From My Heart
I vote for Notes From My Heart. I think it’s so cute when dogs do that head out the window thing.
Good luck to all! They are all fantastic!
The Sky is The Limit. It is a beautiful baby boy in that pic playing with the gorilla..=)
I can’t accept anonymous comments, that would be open to fraud!
Thanks For the votes, keep ‘em coming!

Can I vote for myself? “Notes from my heart”,if you please. You have no idea how difficult it was to hang out the window and capture this pic!
Also, I desperately need a digicam so that I can shoot like 1221 shots. Please, cast a vote for notes from my heart!!
I’m torn between Notes from My Heart and My Old Kentucky. I’ll have to go with Notes from My Heart
I can’t decide between ‘Notes From My Heart’ and ‘Sky is the Limit’

1221 Shots
So who won???!!!?!?!?!
So let me get this straight. After looking at the votes for Sky is the Limit, there were two instances where votes seem to be duplicated. “Brandi” cast a vote at 17:44 and “Brandi Jo” cast a vote exactly one minute later at 17:45. This happened once again: “Charlotte” posted at 19:07 while “charlotte” posted at 19:08.
Clearly the judges ignored this and thus, selected ‘the winner’. I suppose if I had cheated and posted several duplicate entries, I would have won. What a ripoff.
I look forward to hearing a reply on this one.
Shawn-
Thanks for the question.
We counted for any obvious duplicates, I wouldn’t say they were cheats, many people have never commented before and expect them to go straight up, if not they would try again, I did it the first time and found I had commented about five times, however..
After re-counting again removing any obvious duplicates (as we did originally) and not counting any anonymous comments, we arrived at exactly the same conclusion one vote separating the two, now if this had gone to the bone and been equal, we would have asked Sportingo to cast the final vote. We had no control over the winner and didn’t want any.
I am sorry you feel cheated. I can assure you we try to do everything as fairly as possible.
This competition was all about allowing people to communicate and have a bit of fun, we really enjoyed the competition and hope that everyone else did – I know that many left some great comments on each others photo’s.
I also take my hat off to those that entered, were in the final and voted for other pictures, that showed the spirit the competition was supposed to be taken in.
Ok, first thanks for your reply.
I just recounted the votes and came up with a 21-21 tie after eliminating two duplicates and all of the anonymous votes. What number of votes did you guys count for each?
Not that it even matters anymore, but I am just curious.
thanks,
Hi Shawn
Thanks for coming back. I counted 22 – 21 but the extra may have been the split vote I counted toward both..
I am meeting up with Sportingo’s CEO in London on Thursday and will see what we can do.
As a show of no hard feelings, I’d like to invite you to a private beta testing in a few weeks of our new site, for feedback and honest comments.
Shawn Knight all the way.
