April POTM Nomination thread!

[Arch]

Post your nominations for April photo of the month here!... The POTM competition HAS A PRIZE FOR FIRST PLACE!!.... at the moment the prize is a TPF mini mag-lite, as pictured it comes in red, black or silver.

http://thephotoforum.com/gallery/files/5-maglight1.jpg

RULES:

1) You may nominate up to THREE photos, no more.

2) Please include the name of the photo and the name of the photographer.... you can't nominate yourself.

3) You may nominate any photo posted during the month of APRIL in the galleries. Photo must have been taken by the poster.

4) If someone else has already nominated a photo, please do not nominate it again. It makes it very confusing when it's time to make the voting thread. If a photo is nominated twice, your post may be edited or deleted.

5) The same person can only recieve the POTM prize for winning, twice in a 6 month period. This person can still win POTM, but the not the prize repeatedly.

How to nominate: Just right click the picture you'd like to nominate..... go to 'properties' and paste the location into the image icon on this thread..... its easy!

Have fun...... and get nominating! ;)

They are all great. Plenty of Ohs and Ahs. But the Iconic by woodsac, and Brutalist by Mohain, seriously caught my attention.

I'll vote for this one. Love the deterioration and light. The chair seems to be awaiting someone that shall never come. It makes me want to look more. That's always a great photo.

[LaFoto]

Hiya DigitalDiva and welcome to ThePhotoForum.
Voting comes later, in May, this thread is the one for the nominations.
But in May you are very welcome to vote for this photo :D.
Right now, voting is on for the POTM for March.

Hey...I got two nominations this month. Thanks guys.

Now, I've saved one of my three 'till the last day of the month. Decided to go for big big by lostprophet.
BTW, seems a bit odd that we can nominate three but only vote for one. I know it's been suggested before, but can we have three votes?
