AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest focused specifically on tree limbs and branches, encouraging participants to submit digital photos that highlight these features without the distraction of leaves. Contest rules stipulate that only one photo per member is allowed, which must be original and taken by the member. Photos should be resized to 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels, with limited editing permitted for brightness and contrast. Submissions must be uploaded to a photo server or directly to the forum, and non-submission photos should not be posted in the contest thread. At the end of the contest, a poll will determine the favorite photo, and multiple threads may be created for voting if there are many entries. The discussion includes personal anecdotes about a tree from the past, emphasizing the nostalgic connection to the subject matter.

Out On A Limb

Our focus this week is on... tree limbs and branches. Seriously!

We often had contests where we focused on the whole tree. Often, the limbs and branches are covered by the leaves. This time, we do not want the leave to get in the way. The tree limbs and branches take center stage.

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.

This is a tree outside what used to be my grandmother's house in NC. Back in the late 1940's and early 1950's, I loved to climb this tree. This pic was taken in 2010 and amazingly, it wasn't all that much smaller back when I was young, although I think the branches were a LITTLE closer together.

The lowest branch on the right is where I would lay on my belly and watch the going's on in the neighborhood.

Yes, that's the username with which we write on that site (www.bcmtouring.com). Father created it; it's a family acronym.
