Picture of the Month: April 2006
Welcome to April's Picture of the Month poll!
To emphasize that the Picture of the Month polls are different from other polls around the forum, and that the emphasis should be on the pictures rather than the royal houses for which they represent, instead of the country name, the pictures are embedded into the poll choices this month. To see the image in its full size, click on the thumbnail to enlarge. This month, our Picture of the Month representatives had help in selecting their images with a small committee of their choosing. Below, you can see each royal house's representative (in bold) followed by their chosen committee members. Belgium: Mette2 - Dennism, pdas1201 and Danielle Spain: mtbcm - LaChicaMadrilena, Elsa M., Anna_R Jordan: Humera - Little_star Morocco: Humera - Amira Brunei: Humera - Warren Monaco: tbhrc - Ianna, Michelle, Iceflower Japan: mandyy - kei893265, merampo Norway: purple_platinum - Larzen, LaMinka Sweden: purple_platinum - Lena Luxembourg: suturegeisha - drimal The Netherlands: The Watcher - Marengo, Maxie Britain: princejohnny25 - ysbel, HMQueenElizabethII, Avalon Denmark: H.M. Margrethe - Mandy, norwegianne, pdas1201 The poll will be open for three weeks. It will close on June 2. During these three weeks, we ask that no one state whom they've voted for so as not to influence other members as they make their choices. For the final week of the month, you can discuss as much as you'd like about which image you voted for and why. Please note that the pictures in the above poll have been posted in a random order, first by their shape (portrait or landscape), and do not reflect any personal feelings of The Moderating Team.

Due to the server problems the past two weeks making access for everyone sporadic, as well as offline committments, April's Picture of the Month comes two weeks late. Fortunately, May is a longer month, so we are cutting things a bit tightly but the same guidelines will follow for this month.
There will be three weeks of voting as usual, which will take us into June and overlap with the beginning of the June poll by a few days. Then after that members may comment on whichever image they chose and why, while simultaneously being able to vote for June's Picture of the Month. ysbel & Alexandria Picture of the Month Co-ordinators

A reminder not to say which photo you voted for. General discussion is fine, but posts will be deleted if they identify the photo that was voted for.

I just noticed that in the swedish picture the Duke of Brabant is the only one wearing the sash correctly. If its a white tie event the sash is worn under the arm and not over the shoulder like the other guys.
