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.

^I look forward to seeing what you choose!

I had a number of photos for this and now have zero.
Between losing my old comp and the new one crashing, I now have no photos!!
I gotta get out and take some pics soon!!!
I may try to open up the old comp to try to find something..........
 


This is from my dresser in my room.
My grandparents are on the left- My Great Great Grandfathers passport is on the wall- My GGrandparents wedding photo and then the coolest one of them is the one that is a bit blurry :(
I think it captures the time period well.........It is my great grandmother on one of the first Harleys (1920's) when they still painted 'Harley' on the bike :)
On the bike are two american flags and behind her is a steel mill.......
These are my roots.
 
I love that, Ocean. <3 Just wonderful.

lol, i have to pick one, as i literally took about 200!

Okay...

Ta Phrom in Siem Reap (Tomb Raider was shot here) - by far, my favourite Temple, trumping even Angkor Wat. There is also a small chamber in this temple that you can stand in and beat your chest lightly with a fist and the accoustics sound like you are banging a taiko drum!

Awww Samadhi I was hoping to see one of your temple photos in this round!! Do eeet! =D
 
Yeah, well played ocean. Nicely done :)

I have a heap of roots-type photos, but yet again, they are from Cambodia, so i'mma sit this one out =D

Excuse-moi? How often do you think I get out of Scotland? The vast majority are from here & it has never, ever crossed my mind not to post because they are all Scottish based. If the photo fits the round get it posted, because I love the Cambodia photos.

To quote n3o - "Do eeet!" x2
