Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Okay, I've been wracking my brains for a new subject that hasn't already been used. At first I thought of 'water', but no, been used. And it's summer, but that seemed sort of obvious. So, how about going in the opposite direction, in a way? How about 'Darkness'. The darkness could be the beauty of night, or darkly coloured objects, or darkness in a psychological sense, or... any way you want to interpret the term. I'll post my own choice as an example later, if you like. In the meantime, have fun interpreting. :-) 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.

Posted July 2, 2013 Oh, that totally works. What a beautiful cup. I'm going to go make a cup of tea now. :-) Share this post Link to post
Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I have lots of photos that would be great for this theme, but they're all prints and need to be scanned before I can use them. Tested my new scanner on this photo, taken in Hong Kong in 1988. Edited July 3, 2013 by casprrr Share this post Link to post

Posted July 7, 2013 Not sure you can enter your own contest, Jennie, though it's a cool photo! Share this post Link to post
Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I saw that other people had entered their own contests. I'll check again, and if I'm wrong, I'll pull my photo. Sorry. Okay, so I've checked and it looks like I was wrong. My apologies, and I'm pulling my photo. ETA: I'm figuring this thing out as I go along, since I'm new here. Still figuring out how I'm going to post the poll, but I'll manage. :-) Edited July 7, 2013 by Jennie Share this post Link to post
Posted July 7, 2013 You're right Jennie, the host doesn't actually enter the competition The poll is not tricky. Just hit the "new poll"-button instead of "new topic", and follow the instructions ^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted July 8, 2013 Just a reminder that the contest ends tomorrow, and then the voting will start. I'm going to end the contest in about 24 hours, and then it will take me a while to get all the links together and so on for the poll. So, you still have time to get your photos in. Good luck. :-) Share this post Link to post
Posted July 9, 2013 Okay, since there have been no new photos posted today, I'll declare the contest closed, and will post the poll as soon as possible. :-) Share this post Link to post
