Picture of the Month - December 2011

Jan 8, 2012 at 21:21

Picture of the Month is an article showcasing the best Pictures of the Day from the month before. We take the most viewed photos from the previous month, and pick our favorites out of the top 10.<br><br>This was an interesting month for photos, we had a lot of POD's that got a considerable number of views, but they were uploaded earlier in the year so they didn't qualify for this months POM. This months most viewed photo is a great shot by flipside, it doesn't have amazing light, but it's a fresh angle of a super sick trick and the views reflect that. Laurence-CE raked it in this month taking up two spots in the top five. His number two shot was our favorite Christmas image this year, no amazing action, but a lot of work went into the shot and it looks great!

 Was there any more thought into having the pictures start with the highest number and count down? Would be a lot better IMO

 I dont know why, but I'm not a big fan of any of those pictures. they're all good, and they're great photos, but they just don't appeal for me for some reason. Blank Stare

flag jacobsen99 (Jan 9, 2012 at 0:28)
 That's not the curvature of the earth buddy. Curves around way too quickly. I think it's more the angle of the camera or the way it's been edited. Still an amazing picture though
