Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around sharing photos that participants wish to submit for various photo contests but are disqualified for different reasons, such as prior submissions, copyright issues, or missed deadlines. The thread encourages sharing personal photographs that fit the themes of past contests.

  • Some participants share their photos and express preferences for certain images over others, often humorously.
  • Concerns are raised about the technical requirements for posting images, such as size limits and copyright ownership.
  • There are discussions about the potential for reusing themes in future contests, which may allow for previously disqualified photos to be submitted later.

That is why I couldn't use mine because I had to paint over the red border from the Christmas card version.

I thought this one was a much more interesting shot all around, but Evo threw a fit, and made me go with the other one.

I mean, really: kicking, screaming, waving her little fisties in the air...it was quite the scene.

What follows aren't actually pictures I took, but I'm including it here because they're obviously the inspiration for Zz's title of the current contest (Straight and Narrow).

Behold the miraculous anthraquinone cargo (CO2) carriers "walking the straight and narrow" over a Cu(111) substrate!

Still nice, but I like the B+W one better. The sharpness and depth of field make her face stand out from the background, and the background colors are eliminated, so the out of focus trees and weeds don't compete. I'm going to have to at least start composing my pix with B+W in mind, even if I shoot in color. Great job!
 
  • #166
I agree, I am suprised I like the B/W one better, I've never bothered converting something to B/W before but I might start doing it more.

This B&W was taken by my daughter for her photography class during here Junior year in High school. Of course it was not eligible for the contest, But I thought it was good enough to share:

In post 37 of the
sunset thread I was whining about suburan sunset shots. I had this sunset in mind when I made that post. I have to admit that when I took it I was wishing that I had a better view. This was taken Thanksgiving of '05 and I had not really really revisited it since. I rediscovered it while looking for other pics.

While I recogized the validity of SpaceTigers reply, I felt that there were limits.

I retrospect I wish I had entered this photo. :cry: :cry:

Very nice Integral! Actually - OUTSTANDING!

I shot this while waiting at an airport. It was nearly sunset.

Back when I was in high school, I used to put on sunglasses and lie in outside in the backyard or some quiet out of the way place and watch clouds form as they floated by.

I much prefer nature in nature.

Almost disqualified! OW! (slapped on wrist).

THis was my first rubber eraser pic. The contest was three days old and no pictures, so I felt sorry for it and snapped this one quickly.

Then I thought of the Rubaway Rottweiler!

This is the full shot of the tiny whirpool in the fountain outside of twisting_edge's office. The really large version is so aswesome that I'm planning to enlarge it and frame it, it just has such a peaceful feeling to it.
