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.

Simplicity is such a wide open theme. A real "anything goes" round & I can't wait to see the results.

On the beach in Trinidad, Cuba when a thick storm cloud carpets out the sun behind me and simplifies the exotic colours of the Caribbean to dark light and dark again.

Decided to use Irfanview instead of a client I was using online, don't think it harms the quality of my pic as much :)

One of my newest watches. :)

Simple set up in a dark closet on a black shirt, flash bounced behind me.
 
Always wondered how people do that with editing :)

There is no editing, outside of crop. Just a pitch dark closet and a 50mm 1.8 lens.

If I were to edit, Id get rid of that damn fingerprint on the left side and lighten up some of the shadows on the band, but hey, rules are rules.
 
Didn't say there was any editing. Can't take the flash off my camera so I'm limited to forward facing only.
 
Gotcha. But just to clarify, the flash was on the camera, it's just pointed behind me to softly bounce off the wall and ceiling. :)
 
It's amazing how beautiful something so simple could be. Maybe I'll try and get in on this one. But some really awesome pictures already :)

A simple yellow rose. Sadly I don't have the highest quality camera so I can't really compete with everyone else.
 
Wow, some awesome entries so far this round. BA, you've got skill mang. PT: don't knock yourself, that's a great photo.
