.................................................. .................................................. ...

Please email your photo to photochallenge@thephotoforum.com and remember to enter the subject as indicated.

All photos must include the form when submitted. Just copy and paste it into your email. This will ensure that no mistakes are made when photos are submitted and therefore, hopefully, no photos are excluded. If the form is not included in the submission email the photo will not be included in the challenge gallery and voting process.

There is more important information regarding rules and procedures located in the FAQ section. We highly recommend that you take the time to read these FAQs.

Good luck to everyone and have fun with this challenge!

*150KB will be taken as the “size on disk” and not the actual file size. Also some email programs consider 1KB=1000Bytes as opposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger than they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.

[Chris of Arabia]

So long as they're doing it in a tranquil manner, you may still be onto something...

[gentry1242]

Just wanted to confirm that you received my submission and that all the rules were met.

As a true TPF noob, I am likely outclassed, but figured I will give it a shot anyway.

[Kmcw53]

I am brand new (never used this type of service before). I would like to submit a photo for the Nov. contest but do not know how to go about this.

Can anyone help?

[Chris of Arabia]

Try reading the instructions above?

[Libblo]

Just wanted to make sure my photo was legitly submitted... First time and all.

[Chris of Arabia]

Yep, you're fine.

We're getting a good selection of shots so far for this one, 20 so far. For those of you who haven't yet decided, you still have a little time to go, but don't leave it too long.

looking forward to see this months winner, i just submitted something, first pic i got with my new d3000

[JoePal]

Super new to photography and this site, but I submitted one of my first photos with my new Canon Rebel that came out pretty nice and seems to fit the theme. Like Gentry said, I too am likely outclassed here, but it'll be fun anyway. Good luck to everyone. Can't wait to see the submissions.

You will be able to when submissions are closed. Then they will all be shown together in one post.

[Lisa B]

When will that be, sir?

[Chris of Arabia]

Some time over the next couple of days, but not now, it's 00:22 here and I should be asleep
