AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a photo contest themed "Falling Water," with specific rules for submissions. Participants can submit one digital photo relevant to the theme, ensuring it meets size requirements of 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. Editing is limited to brightness and contrast adjustments, and photos must be original, taken by the submitter. The contest allows for a single entry per member, with disqualification for multiple submissions. After the submission period, a poll will determine the favorite photo among members. Various participants share their experiences and thoughts on different water-themed photos, including iconic landmarks like the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen and waterfalls in Yellowstone and India. The conversation highlights the significance of these locations and the challenge of capturing them effectively in photographs.

Falling Water

Exactly what the title says.

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.

So we can assume that you survived taking that picture? :oops:
 
What is the minimum angle? Does it have to be 90°?

Well if you say "mermaid statue" most people will associate that with Copenhagen.
To actually see it is to endorse the Wikipedia characterisation "small and unimposing statue".
Nevertheless it is an icon of Copenhagen. You are supposed to note it as you come in that way by sea.
Owes its celebrity without a doubt to the story that inspired it, by Hans Christian Anderson, which I suspect also is more known about than known.

Cool Shot @Wrichik Basu!
I have bred some fish from that region: Danio meghalayensis. Zebrafish relatives.

What Wikipedia says about it is correct. :smile: It is very small. But, hey, after all it's The Little Mermaid.

You may need binoculars. 😄
