How is it cheating?
No-one found the "exact" pic, so it was still a guess!


It kinda sorta was as it gave a BIG clue.
Previous comps have been a very unique pic, not a pic from a series on the sponsors website which gives a good indication as to where the missing guy is.

It is like the 'spot the ball' soccer comps in the overseas newspapers. If there was a photo taken 0.1 sec later on the sponsor's website it would give clues as to the correct answer.
In this case, KITERS would visit the sponsors website, whereas others here would not.
We reasonably assume the photo is a one-off and there is no point looking for similar pics.

On the other hand, the whole idea is for people to visit the sponsor's website and be aware of the services he offers. IE publicity. So really if people like me didn't check him out we deserve to lose

Are you saying kiters are smarter than the others here?

Doesn't matter what square it is in, kiting is still the opposite of straight.

If that is all you got out of my post, I think you just disproved your own theory.

So are you old boys saying that the winner cheated because he was younger and smarter than you are.

The comp was fair,
everyone had the same chance as anyone else, the kiter could have been anywhere, if you looked at the website you might have made an educated guess that he may be in the back ground,
but how would you know if it would be similar, or that the kiter wasnt right behind the other guy?????or closer to the cam than the other guy???

Kinda funny crew saying the winner cheated , when they admit they used software to try and cheat in previous comps.

So why the whinging? What are you hoping for? A re-draw?
If you think it was not fair for you, have you had a chat to Laurie via PM?

Seems to happen at the end of each comp, a few crew have a cry saying it wasnt fair.
Dont listen to them Laurie, keep the comps comming, or maybe not let the crew that sook enter the next one.

Why could he not be out of the pic totally but with his head in the bottom row? Just as likely

Seriously!

You had a chance to have a guess for a prize that cost you nothing and you lost as did many others, now posting your disappointment, cmorn brutha let it go.

On the other hand I paid $32 and picked up $1161 bucks in lotto:) Yes I am still behind but the money goes to the kids

The exact picture is on the Zephyr website - it's just not on the website gallery.



From browsing here:
http://www.zephyrkitetours.com/photos/crossing/

Only takes 5 minutes to resize and overlay over the competition picture so they line up perfectly - its obvious then that kiter is in H4.

i think they have thought of it, as its just as easy to photo shop a few other areas in the photo as well in order to throw this software off

If only it was a "spot the windsurfer comp".
We would all still be looking.
Those things are as rare as people who dont complain on interweb forums.lol
