Posted November 1, 2012 Thank you for the votes on my picture in the last contest. Finding a theme is becoming harder and harder so I chose something that allows a large variety of motifes. What is your favourite picture you ever took? I know that isn't very easy for someone who takes a lot of photos but there is always ONE that shines above the others. The first one that comes to your mind. Let's see your masterpieces. My favourite: The Rules: - One entry per person - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.) - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. Deadline: Thursday, November 8th Previous Themes: 1: Beginning anew 2: Simplicity 3: Summer 4: Wildlife 5: Black & White 6: Food 7: Macro 8: Farewell 9: Light and Shadow 10: Urban 11: In the home 12: Travel Photography 13: Pets 14: Red 15: Coupled Animals 16: Clouds 17: Green 18: Water 19: Scenic views 20: Invertebrates 21: Sunrise/Sunset 22: Purple 23: Out of Context 24: Snow 25: Flowers 26: Mountains 27: Old 28: Birds 29: Inanimate Objects 30: New Life 31: Play 32: Road 33: Leaves 34: People 35.

Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) I have to say, I'm not surprised that picture is your favorite It's stunning. Hmm..I might have something for this, for once I don't think I've ever entered before but I usually vote. Anyway it is one of my favorite pictures, it just didn't fit in with any of the last few categories. Perhaps this time around, though..

Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Pick my favorite? Good Grief! You're not making it easy for me so I'll let the membership help me choose which of these will be my entry: Lady Ghost Motley Hydrangea Dilute Anery Motley Leviathan *** OK, it looks like Leviathan is getting the most approval so that will be my entry! *** Edited November 4, 2012 by WWECornSerpent Share this post Link to post
Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Pick my favorite? Good Grief! You're not making it easy for me so I'll let the membership help me choose which of these will be my entry: Lady Ghost Motley Hydrangea Dilute Anery Motley Leviathan Wow, all of those are gorgeous! I'm pretty torn between Hydrangea and Leviathan, but if I had to choose, it would have to be Hydrangea, if only because of the beautiful colors. Edit because I can't read apparently.
