This week's theme: Windows


RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which have been previously submitted in the forums or gallery for viewing and discussion cannot be used in 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.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am eastern on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am eastern 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 8 days to take pictures and submit them. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over 2 days (e.g. 12am Friday - 12am midnight Sunday). After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote.

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.

Submissions: March 11 - 18
Voting: March 19 - 20

This is Penelope... she died from heart disease in the summer of 2005, at approximately six years of age. She was the finest cat anyone could ever hope for, and every minute spent with her was precious. The "window" aspect is of course the windowed door she's lying in front of.

Note: This photo is my original work. I am *not* releasing it to the public domain, but it may be viewed/copied freely for personal, nonprofit uses.

MDPVagrant, please resize your photo to 700px width. It should not take anything away from its presentation or impact. Thanks.
Done. IMO it does take away slightly (smaller = lost detail, not to mention resampling is always lossy), but not too much.

Amor, it is a twisted chunk of steel I found buried on a construction site. Steel is approximately 1/4'' thick by 2'' wide. I have absolutely no clue what it was ever for. All I know is that there is one gear on it and it looks like there is a running squirrel in it.
 
here's mine:

It doesnt look like a gear but more like a method of selecting something........looks like a handle that may pivot and be the selector?

Possibly the mechanism for lifting or lowering the height on a lawnmower??

Rather mangled though.

Love the squirrel........lol.
