Postcard Exchange: Round 9 - Comments and Results

[simulatordan]

Hello All

Four more 'cards arrived over the last week.

Kevin Caulfield the pretenders. nice candid shot

HowardDvorin Old Barn Door. This is a great shot with lots of detail and textures. Delta 100 is one of my favorite films.

Brian McCarthy Another great photograph, wrought iron and cut granite this time. Lovely work.

Bob F West Kennet Long Barrow. The blue tone certainly adds something to this shot of timeless grandure. I like it a lot.

All of the 'cards in this round have been winners. Thanks everyone.

Regards Daniel

Today, I've received a great postcard: the zebras of Donald. It's superb in all aspects: good contrast, high sharpness and nice composition. I really like it!

[Black Dog]

Likewise-it's got a fantastic graphic quality to it, almost in lith territory.

Received Anupam's card yesterday. Quite a powerful image and story. Thank you!

When is round 9 closing; i.e. when I should stop expecting to see cards in the post?

Most everyone, if not everyone, has sent their cards and it appears that not many have gotten lost in the mail, so I would assume that the cards for this round have either been received, or will arrive in short order. That's not to say that they won't trickle in if the sender was in another country, but I would assume for the most part that this round is just about complete.

I would like to thank everyone again - this round has been very rewarding and I greatly appreciate the amount of effort that you have all put into it. The sign-up for Round 10 will open on the 1st of March, but I will start a separate thread for it, so please don't post in this thread for that round.

I've updated the Postcard Exchange information link, and would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any further suggestions for the exchange (here's the link APUG Postcard Exchange). I've added most, if not all, of the suggestions that I've received from this round and I hope that they will make the exchange even better. Again, thank you to everyone who participated in this round for your hard work and patience.

I've made a suggestion that for the next round everyone should send Sean a postcard in appreciation for all his work on APUG. This should be in addition to the allotment for each person (that is if a person signs up for 10, then 11 postcards are sent out - one to Sean).

Regards, Art.

Kraker,

Another one is on the way!

It's been 10 days. I'll give it some more time, but it seems we've got an unreliable link between us...

Hey, that is a good idea. I support it.

It's a good idea. I just shot him a PM asking if he is OK with giving out his mailing address and if he is, I'll put it on the list of addresses for Round 10.
