Default Photo Competition XIV - 08-20-2008, 09:21

The Theme:



Decay





The Rules:


- Photographs must be taken by you - no nicking them off the Web
- Photos must be taken specifically for the contest - get out there and get snapping!
- One picture per person.
- No excessive digital manipulation (i.e. adding a more dramatic sky from another photo to your picture, or creating negative images etc.). Cropping, and adjusting levels, contrast, saturation etc. is ok though.
- Equipment: Anything goes as long as the results can be seen from here.
- Voting takes place when the contest closes.
- The winner of the contest gets to choose the next subject.
- the entire community is allowed to vote for one picture in the voting thread




And for information and review, here are the past competition and their themes:

I "Beginning":

II "Connection":

III "Faith":

Would a picture of my remaining tooth, be considered in bad taste?


I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

I doubt it could beat my Dad's, pity I don't have him handy we could have a Toothless Old Fart* competition.

*no offense to yourself, Joc, this is what he calls himself

I strongly object to even being included in the 'old' category... (Even though I am)
Sheesh, youngsters of today. What do you do with 'em?

(And I'm still not gonna start Cheesewars Wars II)

Oh one thing though, what's the deadline for this one ? Just so Rinso the half-baked time Nazi knows when to poke us (give or take a week)

In contrast to last month, here is my entry phenomenally early (by my standards).

I was going to try and think of something clever, but then I found this.



That's just not what they're supposed to look like!

O.o

Thanks Hsing, you're just trying to confuse an old man, aren't you.

Where do you get your calendars? You posted this deadline on the 21st... I can't cope with the pace of producing another potential winner by next Wednesday.

I demand a recount. I want three full weeks until the 11th of September. [lies on floor kicking heels]

Joculator is not the confused one here. He's right. I'm embarassed.


September 11th.


I guess I just didn't want to accept how the weeks fly by lately.

I thought the time had passed rather quickly...
I didn't even notice anything wrong. O.o
I thought it was three Gypsy weeks, which could mean anything really.

Now....enter people! (snigger - unintentional but i'm keeping it) or do I have to get that cattle prod from whoever has got it and start prodding?!
