My first thought for coming up with a theme was 'Burns Night', but then felt a bit hypocritical because I do sometimes quietly grumble about people that take on other peoples' National celebrations as their own just as an excuse (usually) to get drunk. And I am not remotely Scottish. But this did lead me to the theme of 'National Characteristics'. So, by all accounts, do a Burns Night picture, but equally anything else that represents a particular country (not necessarily your own). So, perhaps towels on a sun lounger, perhaps a string of onions and a beret, or some tinnies and a barbie. Please feature any stereotypes you can think of (I guess without being offensive), or it could be an iconic building or landscape. Let your imaginations run riot.
The competition running period starts now and ends at midnight (GMT) on Wednesday 10 February so this also includes (according to my diary at least) Australia Day, Groundhog Day, Waitangi Day, Chinese New Year and Pancake Day.
Usual Challenge rules will apply:
The competition subject shall be selected by the winner of the preceding competition who will also judge the competition.
One picture per person; images should conform to general image posting rules.
Please use a Canon DSLR.
Posted images should be taken during the running period of the competition. Any images submitted that were taken before the competition started, or after the competition has ended, will be deemed invalid.
Images 800 pixels widest max (to help those with small monitors).
No Photoshop frames and borders.
Include a title; the image must convey the theme without title description.
Please, no comments, on images until the round is over.
No canvassing e.g. Im thinking of posting this image for the challenge, what do you think?
I will pick 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourite images (please dont PM me to discuss my choices).
For my part I will give genuine and constructive comments on all submitted entries.
