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 &#8220;size on disk&#8221; 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 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.

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who took part in the September challenge, let's see how the vote goes this time.

The Photo Challenge this month is on the theme "Live Performance"

So, is the theme "Live Performance", like quoted above? Or is it what's in the subject line, "Abstract Art"? I assume it's the latter, just a little clarification.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

So much for copy and paste - thanks for pointing that out.

hi... absent any stipulation, are photo manips allowed in this forum? And if so, how far can we go?

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Push it as far as you like for me. From a personal stand point, I'd like to see what some of you can come up with, though I'd say that it would need to be obvious that the end result is based on a photographic image.

For reference, here's what Wikipedia says on the subject - Abstract Art

 

[xintax]

Thank you. )

I was actually thinking if HDRs and Panned images are allowed.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Those are fine too.

 

[Moni]

I think it's time for "Moni Reloaded".....I'm coming back to this forum through this contest!

 

[MagnumPhotography]

are manipulated (photoshop) photos allowed to? If you include the original?

 

[Chris of Arabia]

So long as it is recognisably created from a photographic image to which you hold copyright, then yes.

 

[dwol]

[agompert]
