Package Holiday

This is my third and last entry into the Canon photo5 competition. As the entries close tomorrow night at midnight, I just won’t have enough time to enter anything I think is good enough to actually submit.

I originally intended on a completely different shot, and this one was probably a lot harder in the end. It doesn’t look as convincing as I’d hoped — it looks like I cut some of the images too small, but they’re actually the exact right size for the bottom of the box, it’s the shadows that make it look wrong. The result is still pretty cool though, and they’re all my own travel images to boot.

Again, if you like it, vote for this shot (starting November 23rd) and tell everyone you know to do the same. If you don’t like it, don’t vote.

And now, a whinge: The website for the last Canon competition was total rubbish — it crashed when the competition launched and was tough to navigate. This one’s no better. It’s slow to navigate, Flash only (what were they thinking?!), and the way in which photos are resized is in total opposition to actually making them look good. I mean, have a look at the angled edges of the boxes; they look terrible!
