October '08 Photo Challenge - "Portraits"

[TwistMyArm]

Hi everyone,

Alright, it's time to start recycling some old challenge themes. "Portraits" was probably my favorite challenge from way back when it seemed like just about everyone took part. I think we can double the number of photos this time around tough (just don't ask me how many photos there were the first time). I will tell you this much though the winner of the last Portrait challenge was CrazyAva. Her winning photo can be found here (Warning: May not be safe for work) http://thephotoforum.com/gallery/files/96-200406-CrazyAva.jpg

Please email your photo to [email protected] 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 oppposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger then they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.

You can use a pinhole camera if you like, as long as you can get it to the site in electronic format, you are good to go. Heck, I've seen some cell phone camera shots way better than I can do with $5k in camera... ug..

NOTICE: Whoever is receiving all these emails, please delete "Oh Be Joyful" sent by [email protected]. I submitted that picture by accident. It is much too large for the competition. "Oh Be Joyful" and "When The Toothfairy Comes" are both the same photo and they are both by me. Thank you!


I'm anxious to see the other pictures. I sent mine in as "When The Toothfairy Comes".

Good luck to all of you!
