AI Thread Summary
This week's photo contest requires participants to submit a digital photo along with a fitting caption, which can be humorous or meaningful. Contest rules specify that only one photo per member is allowed, and it must be original work. Photos should be resized to a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels, with minimal adjustments permitted. Participants must upload their images to a photo hosting service and link them in the contest thread. Modifications beyond basic resizing and brightness adjustments are not allowed, and any substantial editing could lead to disqualification. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, and the contest will be overseen by micromass while the original organizer is away.

Caption[/color][/size]

For this week's contest, your photo must be accompanied by a photo caption. Include a funny, insightful, meaningful, or hilarious caption that fits with your photo. The caption will be included with the photo during the voting period.

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.

Slightly more than a day left for you to submit a photo for this contest.

micromass has graciously accepted the task of running the contest for the next week or so starting tomorrow while I'm out of town. So you all behave now, you hear?

OK, I'll have my people call your people but right now I've got to take a meeting with Cher.

I doubt that's OK - rules say "no modifications". The way you cropped is IMHO a step too far.

It should be up to Zz or micromass to decide, as they run the contest.

The picture has undergone a substantial photo editing. It does not conform to the rules.

For those who can't read French it says 'I am not lost, I am taking a walk!'
