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.

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.

Submissions: September 23 - 29
Voting: September 30 - October 01

Next theme is Great/Funny Signs (as in shopfront, billboards, traffic, etc.)
followed by Looking Down
 
A flower pic taken in the botanical gardens here where i live - the foliage looks quite gray, but I think the light also adds to that as it was taken in the shade.

^Thank you:)

Raving loony, what type of camera are you using? your photos always seem to have a nice "personal" feel to them. i like the shallow depth of field in this photo bluring the croud in the back ground but still showing that all those people are wearing yellow
 
ive been meaning to enter one of these for a long time. im sorry i screwed up your plans to break into my apt and photograph one of my stuffed animals. next time i will be more considerate :D

I'd have to go with "heavily manipulated", ninja. I think B&W was the exception.
i have to dissagree with ya S.A.

im dont really understand why this forum is so hell bent on restricting any type of manipulation. i mean if you talk to any real photographer or go to a real photography forum everyone in that line of work will tell you that post processing is an important part of photography. just as important as the photo it self. every photo in every magazine, poster, billboard, ect ect ect. has been post processed. it is PART of the skill. IMO these comps are basically only 50% of a photo contest. sure the photos have been taken but nobody is allowed to "finish" them?

im not trying to change the rules, just expressing my view.

plus ninja's photo has not even been "post processed" it does that right on the camera. i know some people complain because they cant afford photo editing programs or cameras with neat little features, but thats kinda their problem. its 2007 everyone should just get with the program.

IAM, you're not disagreeing with me, you're disagreeing with the contest rules. If you'd like to gauge the current sentiment and see if any of the rules are due for a revision, please feel free to discuss it in a separate thread. Thanks.

on ninja's entry...
