Voting is easier if you don't actually look at the photos.

I'm sure it is - but what's the point of wasting yours and everyone elses time ?

Please do not talk about photos which are currently being voted on, as it is unfair to the photographer.

I understand that different people have different senses of irony, but even so, I'm suspicious of whether a lot of the submitters know what irony means or if they could find anything to convey irony... I'm not insulting anyone, but seriously. Plus I dont' like how many of the photos try to convey irony through the title rather than just the image alone. But I supposed that's a personal habit.

I think in this case, it's somewhat more difficult to convey the ironic twist without at least a little help from the title. An ironic scene is usually communicating on two levels. In a play the dialog may be counter to the acting. Not that it has to be this way, but it seems more acceptable in this challenge. To me.

The biggest irony for me in this entire challenge is that the "person" (and I use the term loosly) I have lent my old camera to is getting a higher score than I've yet had on a challenge!

Sleekr, you %#*#(&%@ %#^#%$@ old %@#^#&^@!!!!!!

I couldn't think of a subject for the entry until it was too dark to get a decent picture. Unsure if people would think it's "Ironic" or not.

A shot of the "Golden" Gate Bridge when technically the paint job on it is actual "Orange vermillion" also known as "International Orange" a mixer of red and orange.

Without that knowledge would it have fit in the challenge? Anyone.

Oh, and Natator? I'm also getting higher scores on my Flight entry!

Thanks for lending me the camera!

MWUHAHAHAHA!
