>they all kind of suck

I see what you mean.

I voted for you OP, your pics were okay. :)

>> don't want a 17-year-old girl taking pictures of her bff in a black striped dress to spend half of it on more clothes


I voted for you.

>>759566

Hahaha, thanks guys.

but i LIKE girls in black striped dresses

where in Michigan, brah?

Can we see other peoples pictures?

What is currently in the top?

I voted for you.

ooh, digitalflow photography <3

I'll vote for you.

I voted the one I thought had the most potential.
It was a tough decision between that pic with some parade float and policemen and the one with black and white stockings on black and white background. Policemen photo won.

OP's pic was zzzboring. Didn't make me even want to click on the thumbnail.

Voted for OP. He had pretty decent picks.

>>759583
Wow, I wasn't going to vote, but when I saw what was in first, I can't let this hipster garbage win without doing something.

D-don't misunderstand, I-i'm not voting because I like your photos or anything!

Voted for OP. Current winner is unbelievably undeserving.

I voted for you OP, but here's a tip.

This one looked great at first, but the more I looked at it the more it began to hurt my eyes. Tone down the vibrance a little.

>>759642

>>759642
Do not fear, I wouldn't mind losing if it was to someone who actually deserved it.

>>759665
Yeah, I think I was high when I submitted that.

>>759665
This is true.

voted for you, i don't want your contest to end up like mine.

(yes a 17 year old girl did win, and it was a picture of a cup with "meaningful" writing on the side)

omg OP it already happened

http://scholarship.sigmaphoto.com/view.asp#topm

shits going to hit the fan

im sorry for your lots.

Voted for you.

Keep up the good work.

sent a link of this thread to the contest officials, enjoy your disqualification

>>759737
>So if you could at least look at my entry and CONSIDER voting (if you don't believe I deserve it, don't vote) please do.

>Do not fear, I wouldn't mind losing if it was to someone who actually deserved it.

I don't see any rules he's breaking here. He's asking us to vote in a contest that he entered. If you entered a photo contest, wouldn't you tell your friends about it?

>>759737
implying girls that are competing arent posting bullitens and blogs saying

LIKE OMG VOTE FOR ME AND I'LL SUCK YOUR DICK

>>759817
Friends yes, anonymous users on a massive imageboard, NO. He's not asking us because we're friends, he's asking us because he doesn't have confidence that he can win on ability alone, and just wants to win regardless of how he does it.

He's scum and he deserves to be disqualified.

Also, so much for the fucking mod deleting shit threads, I reported this thread hours ago.

Voted for you OP. Your photos are pretty good, nothing mind blowing but certainly above average. I actually like the current winning photo (stripy stockings) but I know that the person that took it must be a hipster faggot and thus is undeserving of winning. Good luck OP, and if you win all of us who voted want compensation.

>>759824
this thread does not break any 4chan rules, reporting it is liable to get you banned for misuse.

I see nothing wrong with what the OP is asking us to consider.

>>759850
You're a fucking moron.
>The posting of personal information or calls to invasion is prohibited.
OP admits it's a personal army call in his post.
>Advertising (all forms) is also not welcome—this includes any type of referral linking, "offers", etc.
He's advertising his entry in a contest.

Not to mention that while he may not be breaking any rules of the contest, he's certainly violating the spirit.

Good going /p/, faggot types halfway decently, even admits it's a personal army call, and you fucking march in stride behind him even though he's the same as every faggot who asks for contest votes.

>>759824
>>759861
so lemme ask you this

lets say its 2009 and obama is doing a rally in your state, also there are advertisements all over the internet saying "vote for obama". should he be disqualified? what makes this any different than the photo contest

and this >>759822
the only reason why most girls age 17-22 win because they always post a shitton fuck of bullitens and blogs asking people to vote for them, and saps vote for the girls hoping they'll get something in return maybe be noticed, maybe get head, who knows! thats how the world works!
sex sells.

voted for you, good luck OP

This is currently beating you, rather unbelievably

http://scholarship.sigmaphoto.com/view.asp?search=&stat=&x=51&y=11#topm

What makes you think that OTHERS have not enlisted the power of the INTERNET.

You don't clear the bottom 30%, sorry OP.

Ok I'll vote for a total stranger just so some 17 year old girl won't win
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND PHOTOGRAPHY IN GENERAL.
not.

>>759867
>>759824
>>759737
Is probably also in the contest.

Not just the OP thats doing it -

tHeader%3D1+Ashley+Kocinski&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a

The photos by Ashley Kocinski are all pieces of shit. It's pretty fucking obvious that it's a popularity contest, I doubt the OP is going to have any issues, otherwise any of the top 5 will have to be disqualified as I honestly don't believe that so many strangers would honestly choose those photos as the best on the site.

The ones by Jamie Russell aren't much better either. Same goes for Mary Florence.

Voted for you.

enjoy your disqualification. people like you make me sick.

>>759983
>Should there be any attempt to manipulate the voting or winner selection process

nice theory, brah, but he's not manipulating anything. I'm sure manipulation would count as voting more than once, bribing officials (who make the final judgment apparently), paying money for votes, etc. all this guy did was link to his contest.

keep on trollin'

voted for you. good luck! kick those hipsters asses

>>759983
why do you want him to fail?

jealous?

>>759988
I think he lost a Brickfish competition or something.

>>759544
OP, why didn't you enter that photo you posted in the original post? it's better than the second or third image.
It's a nice photo btw. very clean. what lens did you shoot that with?

Voted. Give 'em hell.

if you include more semen your sure to win

ahhhhhhhhhh; semen

lol I just voted for the guy next to you

Also semen

Good luck OP, I just voted.

I voted for ya OP
