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.

damn i had a perfect one for this round, but I already entered it in "photographers choice" :p
 
^ Now THAT is a nice looking photo The lines, the symmetry, the vantage point, the patterns, ridiculously visually appealing. I have been waiting to see a photo that really fits one of these selected weekly categories, this one does it for me. There is almost an M.C Escher aspect to it with the different conveyor belts, very cool.
 
I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good photo for this round but I shall persist :D
 
I'm out for the next round thats for sure...but I'll just have to work ahead or something.
 
New member, first time doing this, so go easy!

This may appear to be a bit odd, so i may even withdraw my entry if everyone agrees, but i saw this jagged, sharp, sword looking branch that was poking from this fucking AMAZING towering pine tree in this awesome forest. In terms of opposites, im thinking serenity of nature, yet violence at the same time.

I dunno, y'all let me know what you think.

Interesting. Don't worry. I'm just now getting into it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am finding I am. And if you don't win, don't sweat it, if it means something to you and you a proud of it then is A+

Looks great Modulus!
These weekly photo comps are just a bit of fun. And that's the beauty of art, its totally subjective so you can technically enter whatever YOU feel ties with the theme the most, regardless of what anyone else thinks of it!
 
Cool, thanks for the reassurance!

I'm not planning to win but i thought it was a good example nonetheless.

Well at the moment you've got a 33.3% chance of winning =D
Usually at this stage of the week there's already about 8 entries! Come on people!
 
Modulus, yeah, whether you want to win, or think it does or doesn't fit the category, I think it is a beautiful photo no matter what. The towering trees in the background are especially beautiful, I love the green contrasting against the blue sky. Really gorgeous, I can only imagine being in the actual forest was breathtaking.
 
I've only just started getting into photography too, i only found out about the "macro" function a week ago!

Haha, what a trip.

Yeah the forest is beautiful, i was actually in there to get some snaps of Amanita Muscaria, but alas, there were none.

So given the fine weather, forest shots had to suffice and im quite satisfied.
