AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "Waterfront," where participants are required to submit images depicting the boundary where large bodies of water meet land, such as beaches, docks, or lakefronts. Contest rules specify that only digital photos relevant to the theme will be accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot use extensive editing or special effects. Each member is allowed to submit only one photo, which must be their own original work, and cannot be reused in future contests. At the end of the contest, a poll will be conducted for members to vote on their favorite submission. The thread also features a brief exchange about a photo taken at Crater Lake in Oregon, highlighting the personal experiences of the participants.

Waterfront

This week, it is where the water meets the land.

Your photo must have, as its main subject, a scene where large bodies of water meets the land. This may be a beach, a dock, a harbor, a lakefront, etc. There must be a clear depiction of that boundary where they meet.

Good luck!

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. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

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.

Crater Lake, in southern Oregon.
I stopped by on my way back from Central California, on June 21st this year.
Even though it's only a 4 hour drive from my house, I had never seen it in person before.
