PF Photo Contest - It Isn't What You Think (3/26-4/1)

It Isn't What You Think

Since our contest this week will end on April Fool's Day, I thought it would be appropriate to have a contest with a related theme. So this week, your photos must be of something that isn't want it appears to be. The more a photo can fool someone into thinking what it isn't, the better it is.

This could be a tough one, but I know you can do it!

And oh, Happy April Fool's Day!

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread

Problem is, this picture doesn't tell whole story

Two problems here: 1 What it is. 2 What it isn't.
If it helps, this was cropped from a landscape-format picture. The cropped image is the full height of the original.

Umm... Hold on a sec... I think it's...Flour?!


I LOVE THIS GAME. . I mean theme. :p

Happy April Fool's Day! You have less than one day left to submit a photo for our April Fool's-themed contest - and that's no joke!

Okay AlephZero, I so badly want to know what is it? What are those threads for?
Seriously, sand?.. No. What?!

AlephZero

I'll answer that when the voting is over. I think we should have the "answers" for all three images!

It's not flour or sand, but it is organic. The "threads" aren't threads either. I would bet quite a lot of money nobody could guess what they are from the cropped image, but so far as the contest is concerned they aren't important. In the full image, it is very obvious what they are.

This is not fair... My head X_x
