Hello everyone - I apologize for the delayed feedback. This contest is closed to new contestants. Since I did not have a chance to offer feedback before the contest closed, I am offering feedback now and will call the winners tomorrow at this same time. Here is the feedback on all the designs submitted so far:

hanidesigns - (first) kind of plain, but a good first shot - it is hard to post the very first entry on a contest, so in that sense it was a great initial opening, however I was looking for something a little more dramatic (second) better, but very similar to a previous entry

Enmar - nice, clean, like the font of the watermark, very easy to read - borders may be nice to explore in the future

sikka2010 - (first and second) thank you, however I do not like the font being just laid into the image because we do not know what will be underneath it and some color issues could arise making the captions difficult to read (third) I like how you took risks with this design, but I think the caption is too hard to read. Watermark is interesting concept to be at an angle like that, however I did particularly like the one in this sample (fourth entry) I really like the interesting shape that the caption is in - it is really cool looking, but it looks like it needs to be cleaned up a little, which that can be done later, however on this one, I did not like the watermark

jscg - very clean with the caption, I like how the font looks statesman-like (is that a word? I don't know, but hopefully you know what I mean. I do not like the text effect on the water mark of the first version. I like the watermark halfway on the second version, but then I do not like the color of the caption bar on that one.

sarsh11 - nice, clean, the word "performing" is hard to read because of the opacity level, but I will assume we can adjust that (you don't have to post an update, I know you can fix that) - I really like how you took creative liberties with the watermark, it looks really nice!

surenther - (first entry) nice and clean also, like the drop shadow on the caption bar. watermark looks a little plain, but then most of the entries had that same problem (second entry) - I love how you took a risk with the angled caption bar, but I didn't like it - I would love to see an angled caption bar that does work though, but this one didn't do it (third entry) don't like it ... too plain (fourth entry) this could work, but it looks a lot like some of the other entries (fifth entry) don't like it for the same reasons I did not like the one from sikka2010 (sixth entry) interesting, but I think the caption gets lost (seventh entry) this is a better angled on the the first angled caption, but I still don't like this one. But I LOVE the idea of an angled caption. (eighth entry) no

ktutorials - (first) I did not like the bubble format, but I do like the font of your watermark (second) again, don't like the bubbled caption, but the angled watermark looks very nice (third) I love it - I think make the angle a little less dramatic and some "photo corners" would finish this off, this is one of the best, very creative, I love how you made it look like a picture in a photo album, very nice!

EzyTrader - interesting shapes, captions are hard to read, but I love the watermark

Following are comments on designs submitted via PM:

d***3 - I didn't like the font of the watermark, it looked too common, the caption effect was okay, but it looks like it will need something a little more innovative to win against some of the other entries

a***c - WOW! I love it! I love how you took the creative liberty to run the image through a filter, but yet still maintained the integrity of the picture - Wow! The captions will work and the watermark is so-so, but what you did with the image optimization put you at the top of the list.

S***3 - thank you, but I didn't like really the bubble effect on the caption and the price per image to recreate the effect for all my pictures is waaaaaaaaaaay over my budget - I did however LOVE the choice of your font for the watermark!

So, before choosing 3-5 winners, I would need to know how much would be charged to recreate the effect on 15-20 images at a time throughout the upcoming year. However just based on design alone, if I have to choose 3-5 winners right now, it would be a***c, ktutorials (based on the third entry), and the other slots would be a close call between sarsh11, jscg, surenther, sikka2010 and Enmar.

I will announce the final winners in 24 hours and if your name is listed here, you can post a revision for consideration, but for new entries, the contest is CLOSED!
