Of Rabbits And Eggs

For this Easter Weekend, we will focus on Rabbits and Eggs. Your photo must have, as its main subject, either rabbits, eggs, or both. These rabbits and eggs need not be the "real" thing. They could be chocolate rabbits, eggs, a sculpture, a stuff animal, etc.They may also be "cooked", but they must still be recognizable as either as rabbits and/or eggs (i.e. fried eggs are recognizable as eggs, but eggs put in a custard are no longer recognizable as eggs). However, you should not use a drawing, image, or painting of the subjects..

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.

Oh for goodness' sake, someone has to have an appropriate pic! Don't make me post mine -- seriously. (I was mowing our field, and I unintentionally mowed over a bunny nest. Three bunnies, no survivors :oldfrown:. I took a photo of it, because...OK I have no good explanation for why I took a photo of it. I DO NOT want to post it! So for crying out loud, someone post a pic!)
 
Final day to submit your photo for this contest, or lisab will have to post the photo of her lawn-mowing massacre!

(I guess the Force was with me at this time of year, it was quite eggstatic actually)

EDIT: On a second thought, maybe I was too late? I was not sure about exactly when the deadline was... And: No more photos? :frown: (I'm not keen on seeing Lisa's rabbits :eek: )

EDIT 2: My first link was wrong, and slightly larger than 600 pixels in height. I've corrected it now.
