November composition Voting Time

[lurksalot]

Another close call with a split decision in October saw the honours shared between @AndyTravis @Dad3353 and @upside downer

Apropos of nothing, I asked  Douglas to provide our inspiration , actually, I think he was due a turn anyway.

 

here's the picture he chose , not much explanation needed...

"Must you know that yours will be the “better” picture before you pick up the brush and paint? Can it not simply be another picture? Another expression of beauty? Must a rose be “better” than an iris in order to justify it’s existence? I tell you this: you are all flowers in the Garden of the Gods." Neale Donald Walsch

 

 

choose your favourite 2 this month from the following 

 

 

1. Lurksalot. start slowly and maybe a bit repetitive but build up the little victories until an inevitable crash , but then start again at a more progressive rate until you get more success.

The title is an an anagram as I couldn't think what to call it 

 

 

 

 

2 @AndyTravis  

Started messing about, didn’t really try to make it specifically Iris-ish.

 

But, like her story, starts tentatively and full of tension and the second the bass player gets involved - there’s no stopping

 

 

 

 

3 @Dad3353   Rock'n'Roll, concert-going, half-pipe racing, whoops'n'bump ramps... Nothing stops this little lady. Rock on..!

 

 

 

 

4 @Leonard Smalls  In a break with tradition, and possibly inspired by rediscovering my DOD Envelope Filter, I've ditched atonality and racket for ethereal vocals, a rousing PFunk chorus and a Phat bassline complete with solo... Not many lyrics, but they're about the joys of working together.

 

 

 

 

5  @upside downer   A bubbly, bouncy little tune with some twists, some turns but always a happy vibe

 

 

 

 

6 @Jean-Luc Pickguard  I aimed for a cinematic feel to go along with Iris's cool ramp action.

 

 

There’s we go , a fine selection from an inspiring photo and young lady.

 

shall we say, choose your favourite 2 from the entries

 

Voting closes at midnight on 30th November

I really needed more votes, it was a very close call.

Someone’s being greedy. It’s the problem with the multiple choice option, you can’t limit it. The photo comp (November voting currently open #shamelessplug ) tends to have the reverse, with folk not using all of their allocation.
