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 3 days (12am Sunday - 12am Wednesday).
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!

*runs away* =D
 
Good entries so far.
The only butterfly pictures I have feature a tiny little imprint on a magic bean from a while back.
 
Whoa... you are ever so speaking my language <3

I don't have any photos to enter just yet, but I will do my best to capture a moment with the gorgeous white butterflies who've been around lately. I'm kicking myself for not having taken photos of the ones I saw when I was out of town last weekend.

I know this picture is fairly similar to my last, and that's because they were taken on the same day. We found this little guy on the side of the road. Unfortunately, it seems by the time we got there, he was already gone. But in this picture you can see how its arms are crossed, like a dead person.
...Well, we found it humorous.
 
I need to see if I can track down these butterfly pictures I once took on a plum tree in my yard from way back when.....
I'm liking the entries so far!!
n3o, I think that picture is pretty awesome. Yeah, the butterfly is out of focus but I think the contrast of color is beautiful-
 
Great photos so far :) - Butterflies are so hard to photograph as they are so skittish.

My entry

Good Luck everyone

There are some lovely photos here! and some original takes on butterfly.

I wasnt sure if I would have any entries into this cause I haven't seen any butterflies around, nor have any myself.

But but thats thinking purely literal, and its time to think outside the box!
