Gentlemen,

Thank you very much for your support in the competition, particularly to individuals that have sent in multiple entries.

We are now closing the competition and in the process of selecting the winners. We will be asking the opinion of a local professional photographer to make his selection of the top 3 photographs from photography point of view and we will asking an independent group of RC enthusiasts to score the pictures from the RC perspective.

The selection process and the result of the competition will be published by Feb 10th 2009 and Prize giving venue and date will be announce at the same time.

Thank you for your participation and GOOD LUCK!

Best Regards

Gentlemen,

Congratulations to all! The results are out. The top 5 pictures were unanimous, however the top 3 were not.

We were indeed priviledged to have Mr. Heng, John, a professional freelance photographer for various local press to help us choose the winners from the professional photographer point of view. He has taken the extra effort to further comment and crop some of the pictures to highlight the subtlity that only a professional would pick up. We would like to express our gratitude and thank you to Mr. Heng, John.

The selection from the RC point of view was made by various RC enthusiast. The selection was some what different as more emphasis were placed on the subject as opposed to the whole picture. The selection was still obvious, nonetheless.

The results are as follows. The prizes are ready, however the venue and the time are not. It will be held on a sunday at a location yet to be confirmed. The Prize giving ceremony would be held no later than April 31st with at least 1 week notification to the winners.

Congratulations to the winners, and a very heartfelt thank you to all whom have participated. We will look forward for competitions of similar type in the future.

Thank you.

Man Vs Nature

Mr. John Heng's comment:
It is a picture left to the imagination of the viewer - did the eagle win the race? or the plane? Or did the eagle take the plane down? 9/10

Fly me to the Moon

Mr John Heng's comment:
It is a nice moment of the plane soaring above the sun, more contrast is needed in post production to bring out the colours and the dramatic sky that will help bring out the mood of the picture. Not sure if it's pure genius to expose for the sun or the automatic mode of the camera worked real good for once, but it worked out good.
