Attention everyone!
The results of the "Dubai 25/8" photo contest, which was held among registered users of the Russian Emirates Forum, were summed up. Voting, in which everyone could participate, was conducted online. All photos were assigned serial numbers, without specifying the name of the author, in order to avoid bias.
So, according to the results of the audience voting, the first ten winners looked as follows:
Photo No. 26 - 127 votes
Photo No. 2 - 124 * votes
Photo number 25 - 120 votes
Photo 7 - 103 votes
Photo No. 31 - 85 * votes
Photo 18 - 79 votes
Photo 12 - 61 * voice
Photo No. 15 - 60 votes
Photo No. 20 - 57 * votes
Photo No. 19 - 55 * votes
In the final determination of the winners of the competition, this rating could not be used, as a number of photos did not meet the declared conditions of the competition. Thus, among the photographs that fully satisfy the conditions of the competition (taken between April 8 and 25, 2009), the three leaders look like this:
