  4. I congratulate the winners. I am not against any boy, however my humble question regarding first price in the scary category it's bird [looks like பிராந்து(Piraanthu) in Sri Lanka]which often change the location as far as I aware. So what's the point of geo referencing to a location?. If some one go there will he/she find it there? I started my carrier with geographic related work and I am still working as a GIS (Geographic Information System) Assistant. My mind is still not ready to accept these type of things. At my work place I always insist my colleagues to take a reference point as junction and even reluctant accept even tress as they can be cutoff in due course. I often take pictures of Religious Places, School as Schools are Government property in Sri Lanka and Religious places are registered too. I don't mind about the prize but it's reputation that it generates when some one's photograph selected as first/second/honorable mention in the category. By the way I don't any logic not to publish the number of votes each photo has gained especially I casted couple of hundreds of vote in the competition for the competitors. Even if you guys are reluctant to share these information, you should at least share with the person who have voted for the photo. This is not an extraordinary demand but rather this is how the government election take place in the world, where every one get informed soon after the election.

  5. Well the contest is about geopositioning in general, not about Google Earth acceptance, so regardless the decision to include the photo to Google Earth or not, it is 100% fine for the photo to win the contest.
