Pixmedic's Photo Contest. Episode VI, Return of the Theme.

[pixmedic]

Its that time again!
Time for the Pixmedic (Ihavenoideahowoftenthisisgoingtohappen) photo contest!
*As a disclaimer, please be aware that this is NOT an official TPF sponsored contest. It is being done strictly by me, and was approved by administration.*

The rules are simple.
I will announce a theme. If you wish to participate in the contest, post ONE picture (taken by you) that you feel best fits the theme. Pictures taken prior to the contest are admissible as long as they were taken by you and have NOT been submitted in another of my contests.
The judging is based primarily on theme appropriateness and creativity, not on the technical aspects or difficulty of the shot.
Only one entry per person is allowed, but you ARE allowed to edit your post and change pictures up until the contest closes. Failure to follow contest rules will lead to a disqualification.

to participate in this contest, post ONE photo in this thread that you feel best encompasses your vision of the theme. You can be as literal as you want, or think outside the box with subtlety and innuendo.
The contest will run for approximately one month, and at the end of a very vague and possibly changing time period, the wife and I (along with our business of ferrets) will decide on a winner.

As usual, this months prize will be a $50 visa gift card.

This months theme is....
Service

Lotta potential here for both literal and alternative applications!

the contest will run until the end of August.
As usual, the wife and I reserve the right to edit, change, add to, subtract from, or cancel this contest at any time for any dumb old reason.

Oh, I am excited for the prospects we will see for this one. I anticipate there will be some touching and meaningful photos! Thank you @pixmedic for the service you are giving in this contest! You are truly a very generous and selfless member

wow. halfway through the month and not a single entry yet?

has interest in the contest fizzled out?
is the theme too difficult?
is $50 and a TPF mug not enough anymore after the last contests $100 prize?

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

I think everyone is holding out until the last minute.

[pixmedic]

Sunday bump!
Not much time left.
Is this a sign that contest interest is waning?
Or is it just me?

To be honest, this is the first time I seen this thread and I'm on here a lot. Maybe it's the pic and I have become accustomed to it and pass it over without realizing it's another contest? Well now I have to get to work on it.

I see this thread for the first time and it is day 20 of 31. The theme can be interpreted abstactly and concretely, it can be from the archives and from fresh kills ....

... I will see to come up with something....
