Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea Maximus culpa!!!! Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.....
In an effort to redeem myself from having committed this sin and to save myself from the horrid, unfathomable fate of tying for first in a competition I didn't even enter, I have now hastily deleted my "like"!

Is this the point where I'm supposed to gee everyone up?! Come on guys, not long to go now. Get those entries in!
I looked through my archives and don't seem to have any images which would have worked for this competition, sad to say, so no entry from me this time. I am enjoying seeing what others are contributing, though!
Same here, I couldn't find anything suitable
Just a tip, if not already under way, I would start the write ups now with your initial reactions so you don't get stuck hunched over a keyboard for the rest of the week, then any future entries can be added as they come in
Cheers

I agree. Just don't any decisions until after you close the contest. That makes the job harder because the last minute submissions always change those choices.
I thought the rule was that last minutes entries automatically get first place. That'll teach'm
Oh no, here I am with a last minute entry! It's very nice entering a competition hoping not to win 😂
I have the original stored on a disused laptop, so this compressed JPEG off Instagram will have to do for now. The original caption when I posted the photo in 2016:
"I love Taipei Metro. Fact. It's the most user friendly mass transit system I've used and has so many positive attributes. Cheap and comfortable, with a well connected network and fantastic ease of use and payment. There's also the cheery (bordering on primary school) colours and signage. It's how public transport should be. Metro stations around the world have chimes and tones in addition to announcements to signal the arrival of an oncoming train, and some Taipei stations have this cute, calming melody which I couldn't help but smile at. It pretty much summed up the whole vibe of the city: friendly and welcoming.
Stations which have line sharing platforms make for an interesting view at rush hour as commuters switch between trains. This combined exposure captures a bit of the movement before it gets packed."
Shot on my Ricoh GR using the multiple exposure mode. I didn't want to hold up commuters so just took two quick shots and hurried on for the train. I really miss Taiwan and look forward to visiting again next year. Japan too as someone mentioned earlier!

OK, now we are setting the Wayback Machine way back.
Well since I guess it's still open, here's a photo of the protests in Aurora, CO about the murder of Elijah McClain.
nah, @Laird Knox posted already - That's it book ended now....

Is this the quintessential photographic representation of "no pressure"? - don't drop the ball
Sometimes I think people choose their images and then deliberately wait for the very last moment before posting.
That is just so cruel.
It is a tactic, hoping the judge has ran out of steam by that point.... @Apple_Glen_UK should review them in reverse order.....
You can prolong your torture for sure, just let us know if you need more time so we don’t appoint a stand in for you is all.
Also, remember as judge it is up to you on the level of verbose feedback. You can do your podium positions and leave it at that but we like to get a little feedback as it helps us learn and better understand how others receive our images.

You have 48 hours to come up with the results, so plenty of time
Cheers

If he waits 48 hours, we expect an essay.
Somebody set the bar recently...
LOL!nah, @Laird Knox posted already - That's it book ended now....
If that were the case I wouldn't miss more contests than I enter.
"Oh, that was yesterday?" <- Story of my life.
You know this comment means you have won this week right? regardless of whether you submitted or not.
I've not forgotten the judging part! Had my hands full what with kids, work etc. Will do it when I get home this evening. I must warn you all now, I am not on anywhere near the same level as you guys when it comes to photography, so my comments will probably seem somewhat more basic and briefer than what you have become used to!
