Poll question: Diagapoll
Haven't posted a poll in awhile. Maybe that's my problem. I'm not getting tuned in... turned on.
:hippie:

Colorado



Nebraska



Nevada

3. I voted for third, but
then I realized that I am not sure number 3 could be considered diagonals even though I like the geometrical representation.

4. I also voted for #3
although I have to agree with Maestro that I'm not sure if it counts, exactly.

But I like the perspective - it feels a little like the sketches they make you do in intro drawing classes (and that I failed miserably at). There's also some quality about the couple - they seem so comfortable together, like they've been married for 20+ years and are still happy to be with each other...but that might just be some romanticism on my part. I like that it tells a story. I think the other two are interesting and artistically sound, but this one transcends that.

I'm not crazy about the title, though. :silly:

5. I voted for
They all suck, because if you have the balls to put that as a choice, that should be the winner!

Seriously, Nevada is cool, but I think Nebraska is more angular.

7. #1 - Colorado gets my vote
Additional angles with the shadows (very clever), and I like the soft coloring.

8. Other -- Robb is a dingbat
Actually, I liked Nevada a lot, but Colorado also looked good. But I'm not making any recommendations, since I'm hosting the contest.

9. "Nebraska" it is. The people have spoken
:7

Thanks for voting!!!!! :crazy:

Seems that Nevada, the title of which is being unreasonably questioned :), may not actually qualify as a diagapoo. There are also those that have decided to attack the message and not the messenger. A clear violation of DU rules.

If I enter Nevada it may cause an enourmous shit storm over what IS and IS NOT a digapoo. I can see it now.... threads getting locked..... people suckin' granite. The logical choice then.... has to be... Colorado. But... if I enter Colorado what will the people who voted for Nevada think? Either way I'm screwed. You know, it's times like this that I wish I had a kitty.

:hi:

12. The first one does it for me, totally
but the third one probably has the wow factor voters will go for. It's also a nice take on diagonals because it sets the diagonals off against the curved and the horizontal elements. That gives the diagonals more punch. And all that blue is seductive.

But I had to go with the first one. Great photo!

14. They may not "be" diagonal
but they certainly have diagonal elements, IMO.

15. Tell me about it
:dunce:

I suck at Themes. I was just going by the literal definition of diagonal being an oblique line. And if I'm anything..... I'm certainly oblique.
:crazy:

16. Ooh, F. Gordon
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 09:52 PM by Crisco
I dig on both 1 and 3 but for the contest, 3 has the "jizz factor."
