Discussion Overview

The thread discusses a photo contest with the theme "Not Leafy Green," where participants are invited to submit photos featuring leaves that are predominantly not green in color. The conversation includes contest rules and examples of suitable subjects.

Discussion Character

  • Contest-related
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • The contest requires that the main subject of the photo be leaves that are not predominantly green, allowing for some green but emphasizing other colors.
  • Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with restrictions on editing and resizing.
  • One participant notes that the colorful parts of Bougainvillea, often mistaken for flowers, are actually bracts, which serve to attract insects to the actual flowers.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not address potential ambiguities in the definition of "leaves" or the extent to which colors other than green can be present.

Not Leafy Green[/color][/size]

Tree and plant leaves are always thought to be green. Well, in this week's contest, they are anything but green. Your photo must have, as its main subject, leaves there are NOT green in color. The leaves may have a small amount of green, but the predominant color must not be green.

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.

The red or blue colours of the Bougainvillea which many people take for flowers are in fact essentially leaves, called 'bracts'. They do however serve the function of flowers in attracting insects to the flowers which are the small white specks you can see amongst them.
