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.

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.

Voting: December 03 - 04

Next Theme: Time [January 04 - January 10]

Damn Ozone hole.
 
The Nikon 18-200 VR.

Keep in mind, I shot that through a pane of dirty glass from the enclosure so resolution isn't at it's best.
 
^it's cool to see the opera house at that angle too, usually it's framed with the bridge behind it and the sails pointing to the right, so it's a nice change :)
 
Took this when I was 15 on my last trip to Oz, 5 or so years ago. I've got photos of crocodiles, snakes, koalas, kangaroos, iguanas... but birds are my favourite :)

Its a Corymbia syn Eucalyptus hybrid, ficifolia x ptychocarpa, "Summer Red". And Gum trees are pretty reminiscent of Australia, no?

:)

Impacto ftw

Has it all. Bad shaving, sleeveless shirt, an extra beer in hand, the larrikin smile and some ludicrous Australian ingenuity with the flag as an umbrella head shade.
