I Would Appreciate Your Vote.

A friend of mine just won this "Capture the Color" contest for July and I just submitted an entry for August...

X-Rite is having a photography contest and the winner gets their latest and greatest color monitor calibrator - which would be wonderful to have for my photography endeavors. Can you please take a moment and vote for my Sea Glass photo entitled AQUA?

There is no registration needed and you can vote once per 24 hours. The voting, unfortunately, does not work on mobile devices. (And probably only works if you are already on Facebook.) Contest ends August 31st. Thank you, I will certainly appreciate your support.

Thank you, folks. Off to a good start!

Also -- consider that this is also a contest you, too, may want to enter - either this month or one in the future. My friend, who won for July just found out about this contest last month from a colleague of his. You all have some incredible works - and the "qualifier" for the August contest is the Pantone color on the contest web page.

As soon as I saw the "color" for the month I thought of my piece on my AW, entitled "A Q U A Blue and Green."

Best of luck to you!

I wonder how many votes we could get for Bill if we all posted this to our FB pages?

Or is there a reason we should not do that?

Done Bill good luck!

Thank you, again, folks.

@Floyd. I believe their objective is to get as many eyeballs on their name as possible. I know that's what I would want if I was selling those types of items. Here is the rule about voting: "Entrants and viewers may only vote once per day. Creating multiple accounts and/or falsifying information in order to vote will result in disqualification from the competition."

As long as it is different sets of eyes - as often as once per day - it looks like it's OK.

Come on people let's kick it up a notch! Bill is now tied with some other piece.

Post this to your FB pages and ask your friends to vote for Bill's entry.

Bill's campaign manager has authorized me to promise that anyone that votes, if he wins, he will fix all the potholes in on your street! If you get ten people to vote for him he will get you a cushy government job with high pay and not work.

News Break!

Bill Swartwout has fired his campaign manager. Not details were given. But a source close to the campaign has suggest campaign manager has be fired for making false campaign promises.

We can a day later vote again. You are at 30 in the lead by one vote.

Floyd, that is a riot. LOL

Thanks, David, up to 34 as I type this.

I would likely have more votes - but phones and (most) iPads don't work for this contest - and many of my business colleagues are at a three-day conference in NYC - and won't be home to their laptops/desktops until Wednesday. :)

Thank you, all so very much for supporting me in this contest. My "AQUA" is still in the lead and, with your help, I hope to keep it there.

Here's a quote from the contest page: "Entrants and viewers can vote below once per day. So invite all your friends, family and colleagues to vote for you! Good luck!"

I am still "in the running" for a top prize but my AQUA slipped into second place this morning. If you have time to vote yet again I will surely appreciate it.

To say "Thank You" to those of you who have participated in this thread I have gone to each of your profiles and found an example of your art that is related to something that I do and in which I have a personal interest. I then left a comment on that piece and have "Liked" it and "Favorited" it. I am also now "Following" you - because you all have some incredible work.

Thank you, my friends and colleagues.

The voting is able to be repeated after 24 hours have elapsed - which makes it a bit more difficult than simply once per calendar day. :)

I also just caught up with comments, likes and favs for my new supporters. :)

Here is a "handy" voting link - that usually puts my "AQUA" image at the top of the selections:

Finally down to the last 24 hours of this contest...

THANK YOU ALL so very much for your support this month. My "AQUA" is in the lead by more than 100 votes so - barring a last minute flurry - it appears you all have helped my photograph win this contest. I am looking forward to improving the color accuracy of my edited photographs.

I believe I have "Followed" each of you who have supported me in this contest and that I have Liked, Favorited, and Commented on at least one of your pieces. If I have missed any of you, please email me and I will make it right. :)
