The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Award". Employee Service Award for 35 years at Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. Had the joy of working there for 50 years. Retire after 38yr (two of that was military leave) Return for another 12yr as a contract employee. A-B located Milwaukee Wis. Known for landmark clock tower. From 1962 until 2010, when it was surpassed by one in Saudi Arabia, the Allen-Bradley Clock Tower was the largest four-sided clock in the world. Photo posted in recent photostream.
For Our Daily Challenge topic 'Prize, Award, Trophy, Medal etc.'
I think Wiki really deserves this for all the extra comfort, companionship & understanding and hours of contact purring she has been sharing with me during these many long, hard months. Never for a moment have I felt alone - because of her communication, love and occasional silliness.
Delighted and so honoured to have been selected for the Beyoud the Second Life group award banner and also the mini banner-let motif. Thank you ever so much xxx ♥♥

Under the crabapple tree and in the shade and shadows, these two tattered Hydrangea Quercifolia leaves shone brilliantly this rainy afternoon!
You probably thought what I did: If I post to an award group that requires 3 awards, then I should expect 3 awards, on average. Obviously, any given photo will get more or less, but you figure on average you should get as much as you give, right? WRONG!!
I’ve done a systematic study of how many awards the different award groups give out, and the bottom line is this: The half of Flickrites who do actually give out rewards get nothing in return from the other half of the Flickrites who post and run.
If you’re posting and running, shame on you. If you’re posting and being honest, then you should check out the list below to see which award groups are best and worst.
Details of the study are below; I welcome any data that the group admins wish to share, or from anyone would like to validate these findings. I realize my sample is small and would like to get more data...
-----------
Purpose: Do you get as many rewards as you give in Flickr award groups?
Method: Sample 20 Flickr award groups. Go to page 24 and count the number of awards given to the first 12 pictures; this is deep enough in the pool that awards have stopped, but not so deep that many images have been pulled. I validated a sample of 12 was sufficient.
Result: From a total sample of 240 images posted to award groups, you get 59% of the awards you give out, or roughly you have to give two awards in order to get one. There is huge variation amongst the groups, as you’ll see in table below.
Discussion: At a practical level, it appears that there are two things that contribute to a higher percentage of reciprocity. First, group cohesion makes a difference—for example Shining Star has a relatively higher percentage because many of the members are contacts with each other. Second, a mechanical pool sweeper, if properly used, makes a HUGE difference, e.g. Global Village 2 and Flickr Hearts. The results also show that there are lots of Flickrites who don’t play by the rules. In the case of group awards, without a pool sweeper there is absolutely no penalty for posting and running because there’s no way to get caught.
Group averages… For example, A+++ has 70%, meaning that for every A+++ award you give, you get 0.7 back… Some of the averages are above 100% because of sampling error, and because of multiple invites.

This is a personalized award for my Flickr Friends for being such wonderful friends and/or in recognition of their great achievement in Art or Photography. This also serves as my personal award to any pic or friends which I deem worthy. =D
If you received this as a comment in your pic, please don't feel bad if this doesn't appears to be a sincere personal remark. I won't have done this up and awarded it if I'm not sincere about how I feel about you or your work. This is just to save lots of time due to my hectic schedule. With too little spare time to spend visiting and commenting on all of your wonderful works, I will feel bad if I lost too much ground trying to catch up with you good folks! Thus, this is to show my appreciation and a BIG THANK YOU for your effort and kind comments in my pics.
Note: Some of you might dislike such thing in your pic's comment. If so, please message me and we could part ways without any conflict. Thank you for your kind understanding.

I was kind of unsure, if I should try to take an image for this theme but then (completely coincidentally) my little daughter walked up to me out of the blue a few days ago, gave me this tiny figure and told me: "You can take a photo of this!"... I looked at it and thought to myself: Well, that's kind of an award - both the Oscar-like figure as well as the fact, that she trusted me with something that belongs to her. So I just kind of had to do it!
By the way, this isn't the size of a regular Lego figure which is about 40 mm, but is only 15 mm in height. So, even if I perhaps got the worlds tiniest award, it means the world to me!

My granddaughter also received an award. Her's was for soccer. This image was only moments after the ribbon was placed around her neck. It tried to get 'that' moment but the crowd of parents kept blocking me.
What the coach is pointing at and what they are discussing I do not know.
Thank you sooo much to all our kind supporters who nominated us for this year (2014) the Avi Choice Awards.
