True...but lotsa peeps won't get to post their shot until much later and we have to give them a chance. I'm saying let's use the weekend to allow those to post...then maybe Monday we set to the winner and new theme.
Picture Theme of the Week (Change)
- Thread starter narlus
- Start date
This is goign to be very difficult. IMO, highrevs is the best executed shot, Narlus' is the best composed, mine is the most "powerful" (best subject matter, if you will). So which is best? And can people who submit photos vote? If so, can we vote for our own?Nice...I like that.
So how do we determine who the "winner" is? Photography is very subjective!!
[but so far I'd say highrevs is blowin us away]...still the day isn't over yet!
I think think this thread isn't setup for deciding on a winner. If RM had a photography forum (and I'm not hinting at anything here), then we could take this a lot further... but I don't want to clutter up the lounge with bunch of different threads about this.
Just my $.02 - take it for what it's worth.
Nice...didn't see my photo listed there!!! 
Teasing...but I agree...let's not make this a competition. Send me a PM for the next theme word and we can all vote on that.

I like the poll method... and to pick the top 3 (and sure, you could pick your own pic)... that will give props to the really good shots and allow us to designate a person to pick the next theme... besides, it will be fun. I really dont think that that would ever cause someone not to join in the thread.
Word. I enter races all the time knowing I have no chance of winning :biggrin:
Me too
Im not too hyped on the contest idea. I would like to keep it noncompetitive, strictly for fun and fairly simple. May be we could all PM graphics with or input on themes and let her pick it each week or something. I am all for the idea of having no winners and just a weekly photo challenge.
I didn't get a chance to break out the camera this week, but I'm looking forward to future themes. I say we PM Graphics with ideas and let her choose as this is her idea. (great idea Graphics
)Competition sometimes get ugly and I'd hate to see a cool thing killed by nastiness
I guess I don't much care about whether or not there is a "winner" If not, why doesn't graphics (since this was all her idea in the first place) setup a poll with ideas for the next theme, we could vote on that to decide theme.
But whatever... I'll shoot when I can and enjoy everyone else's submissions.

Lets do the poll Idea and the winner gets to choose the next weeks theme
If you will not post a picture because you are afraid that you might not win, then I bet you grew up playing in a non-competitive little league where they do not keep score. Or maybe your school teacher did not use a "red" pen to mark your paper because red is just so harsh.
Grow a pair and posts your pics!:biggrin:

That's a sweet pic Merrrrjig. Very similar to what I wish I had time to put together. But I didn't know we were having a (non-competetive) contest.
Here would be my entry (of what I have here on my comp... since I wasn't invited):
For those of you who are into photography and enjoy these types of contests, check out dpchallenge.com.
I don't spend much time there anymore because I don't have time to really work on my photography. But back when I did, the forums were very helpful. The challenges are pretty cool, and there are some damn good photos.

Wheres the change you ask ? Well evergreens don't change in the winter
For you local guys, thats "Raven's Perch" on Blue Ridge up by wintergreen resort.
General rule methinks... the picture has to be taken after the theme is given...
agreed.
Oakley parties are fun 
Sorry for the randomness of my thread.

I have no interest in participating if I do not have the chance to taste sweet victory...btw...I think we decided there would be no winner...no competition. Just a lot of great photography shared!!
Just kidding!!!
I agree, just keep it fun...
I also agree. This week that seems kinda impossible due to the newness and all. .
Duly noted for future.
Not worthy of any competition, but here's the only one I took this week that didn't center around food:
Cell Phone pic...

randolph, i found that Picasa does NOT support hotlinking...i switched to zenfolio and dig it. it's not free, but i think it's worth it. check out my site if you are curious:
