AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "Get Back," where participants must submit images of people from behind, focusing on their backs rather than their rear ends. Contest rules specify that only original digital photos are allowed, with a maximum size of 650 x 490 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot use extensive editing. Each member can submit only one photo, and once submitted, it cannot be changed. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, with potential multiple polling threads if there are many entries. Clarifications confirm that submissions must feature people, excluding animals or statues. Participants are encouraged to share their entries, and the quality of submissions is noted to be high, making the voting process challenging.

Get Back![/color][/size]

Not the most unusual theme we have had, but it will be interesting to see the kinds of photos we will get for this. Our theme this week involves photos of a person, or persons, from behind. Now note, it is NOT photos of "their rear ends", but photos FROM behind, i.e. of their backs! This must be the main subject of your photo.

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 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 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

Does it have to be a person/people? Can it be an animal, for example? or a statue?

No, it must be a person or people.

{Thanks Gokul. I copied what you got and edited the post. I'm deleting it here so that I won't get "confused" later on when I start the poll - Zz.}

The only grand-daughter of my oldest friend. She had been living in Ireland with her mother for years, so I hadn't met her before. Bill had told her all about my "tame" chipmunks, so she HAD to come see them. She waited patiently for a couple of hours until one of the 'munks showed up and started taking seeds from her hand. This shot was taken after I had told her (while the 'munk was stashing her seeds) to hold her hands up above ground level so the 'munk would either have to climb her or jump into her hands to get more seeds. It worked like a charm!

Cute, nice pic turbo.


All pics are actually good, it going to be hard to decide which one to vote for.
