Photographer's Choice - ver. Edit to your heart's content

*** editing in this round is not restricted to cropping and resizing. Let's keep it more with the artistic touches, though, not the cut'n paste facey pastey variety. Thanks! ***

RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.

4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700 pixels. Free resizing software - Irfanview.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted end date.

8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.

Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing. ***editing in this round is not restricted to cropping and resizing. Let's keep it more with the artistic touches, though, not the cut'n paste facey pastey variety.***

Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 2 days (12am Sunday - 12am Tuesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!
 
Please submit your photos in this thread and a mod will re-post them when voting starts in a separate voting thread.

This is a special contest. It's awesome that the photo contests have gone this far and I'm looking forward to seeing all the entries for this round!

Thanks to every one who has entered the contests to help keep them going and a huuuuuuuuge thanks to BA for starting the photo contests <3 <3 <3

Here's to another 100!

I would just like to take a moment to profess my gratification that this photo contest exists. In all seriousness, it has given me a hobby to aspire to other than drinking and drugs, and it's been rewarding purely for the fact that other people can see my work, and that we can share our love for photography together... <3

Now, back to the round!! =D

Photography friend is the model, even though he asked me to be we tried several shots and I kept the ones I took. Proud of it :)

Just wish I had his kit

Hmmm, decisions decisions... Seeing as we're allowed to modify our images, I'm gonna go a little over the top! =D

What's the rules on taking a photo yourself and a friend editing it?

I'll submit a better photo if that's allowed

I hope tinypic doesn't compress the colors on this image. It has unbelievable clarity at full-size.
I toned the temperature down a little and upped the color levels in Lightroom. Added a faint vignette as well.
 
the 700 x 700 restriction still in place kills what i had hoped to use. :X

All the work should be done by you, photographing and editing.

I like your entry anyway, no need to change it. :)
 
That is something else IAMTHOUGHT. I like.

I don't have anything too interesting for this round and no motivation to go take a new photo unfortunately. :(
