Discussion Overview

This thread discusses a photo contest themed around flowers, specifically requiring participants to submit real flower photographs taken by themselves. The conversation includes contest rules, submission guidelines, and light-hearted banter among participants.

Discussion Character

  • Contest-related
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Zz outlines the contest rules, emphasizing that only real flower photographs are acceptable and specifying technical requirements for submissions.
  • Some participants engage in playful banter regarding Zz's marital status, with jokes about being "nagged" for flowers.
  • A participant mentions sending a private message (PM) to Zz and expresses concern about not receiving a reply, leading to a discussion about potential PM deletions during Zz's vacation.
  • Another participant submits a photo of hibiscus taken in Puerto Rico, prompting a reminder from Zz about resizing the image to meet contest specifications.
  • Zz reminds participants of the final day to submit their photos for the contest.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the contest rules and the theme, but there is light-hearted disagreement regarding personal jokes and the status of private messages. The technical requirements for photo submissions are also acknowledged, though there is a need for clarification on resizing.

Contextual Notes

Participants must adhere to specific technical guidelines for photo submissions, including size restrictions and the requirement that photos must be original works. There is a potential for confusion regarding PM communications due to Zz's vacation and previous message deletions.

You Don't Bring Me Flowers, Still[/color][/size]

Spring has sprung, at least for us in the Northern Hemisphere. This week's contest is on Flowers!

Please note that this has to be real flowers, not fake ones, and not drawings/paintings of one.

Good luck!

Zz.

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 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 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. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

Sorry. Did not know you are unmarried.

P.S. I had sent you a PM, of which I did not get any reply.

When did you send it? I had been on vacation for the past week but I see no PM from you, and before I left, I did a purge on old PMs. I may have accidentally deleted yours (and maybe a couple of others) unanswered PMs if you sent it before then.
