@chenliangchen,
the problem is not in your receiver. It was my understanding that Half left out BlusLee's photo on purpose. I do not quite share his enthusiasm that censoring his effort is somehow going to "inspire" him but hi-dee-ho, Half makes the rules, not me.

EDIT: Turns out I was wrong. Mea culpa.

On a completely unrelated topic, I really like Half's entry. Very nice and sharp macro with good light and play of shadows. Shame on the background though, that somehow spoils the effect. Therefore my vote goes to #5, robthebold.

I don't understand, I copied the full photo from the site at which the thumbnail linked to.
BTW. pichlo, I really wanted to find a spiral staircase.

Hmm, it appears that the link you've got points to an html page on Postimage.org. I would guess that it has some magic html that blocks other sites from embedding the page (whether or not they intended that behavior).

You could instead try to link directly to the jpg entity on Postimage.org, which seems to be publicly viewable. I'm seeing this link as:

http://s16.postimg.org/l047d222s/20150825_020.jpg

or,



EDIT: BTW, I think Postimg.org may be trying to fake people out by placing a ".jpg" extension on non-jpeg files. That, or using some magic to detect if people are linking directly to .jpg files, and redirecting them. Either way, bad website behavior...

EDIT2: Yeah, now that I look at it, my link looks substantially the same as your link, other than the randomly generated subdirectory name. So Postimg.org must be doing something annoying.

I vote for # 1 Half-Life_4_Life. Really nice photo. With a plain background it would have looked even better.
I don't think the flower (5. Robthebold) has anything to do with spirals. There are circles yes, but no spirals.

Fibonacci spirals in nature

I wanted to find a sunflower or coneflower where the spirals were more obvious, but I struck out.

I meant to take a picture of a drop of blood (full of DNA "spirals") but had barely time to breathe this month. Maybe some other time

Come to think of it, robthebold's was the only entry containing actual spirals. All the other ones were helixes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

I do realize that some languages do not make the distinction. Including colloquial English

I did not know they were different. I even did not know it was two words in Chinese as well. What a mistake!

Wait, what? Actually, I forgot that this month had 31 days.
So voting is still open.
