AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an autumn-themed photo contest, emphasizing the requirement for submissions to prominently feature the flora and fauna of the season. Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but are prohibited from extensive editing. Each member can submit only one photo, which cannot be changed once posted, and must be original work taken by the member. Non-compliance with the theme, such as including festival imagery like Halloween, is not allowed. The contest concludes with a poll for members to vote on their favorite submission.

Autumn

Autumn is in full swing in the northern hemisphere. So this week, our theme is on this season of the year. Your photo must clearly show the flora and fauna of the season.

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. Alternatively, you may simply upload your image file to PF, and then have the full image displayed in your post.

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.

You must have the photo displayed in your post. I also do not see the relevance of the photo to the theme of the contest. So please explain.

The warm colore ,the sleepy kitties
 
It has to be Flora and Fauna? Can't it be any festival that takes place during this season?

It isn’t unambiguously clear that your photo depicts “autumn”. So it does not qualify.

No. It must be on the flora and fauna for this contest.

That means: Halloween excluded, yes?
