AI Thread Summary
The Photo Contest for Autumn Leaves runs from October 18 to October 24, inviting participants to submit digital photos showcasing vibrant fall colors. Contest rules specify that only one photo per member is allowed, and submissions must be resized to 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels without significant editing. Photos must be original and taken by the participant, with any necessary adjustments limited to brightness and contrast. At the end of the contest, a poll will determine the favorite photo among members, with the possibility of multiple polling threads if entries are high. Participants are encouraged to share their autumn captures while adhering to the outlined guidelines.

Autumn Leaves

With the weather turning colder here in the Northern Hemisphere, the autumn colors are in full force. So this week, the focus is on the autumn leaves. Show us the vibrant colors during this time of the year.

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.

From the Appalachian Trail, overlooking the Lehigh River near Walnutport, PA.
 
Just took this one on Saturday.

It is unaltered in any way (except for resizing). It was shot in Dynamic High Range mode, which is the cause of the saturated colours.

Leaf season has just barely started here. Just a few touches of color here and there:
