AI Thread Summary
The PF Photo Contest invites participants to select a song title and submit a photo that visually represents it. Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot significantly alter the image. Each member may submit only one photo, which must be original and taken by them. Photos cannot be reused in future contests, and only submissions meant for the contest should be posted in the designated thread. At the end of the contest, a poll will allow PF members to vote for their favorite entry. The discussion also highlights past themes and encourages creativity, with participants sharing their song choices and related anecdotes.

Song and Image

Throughout the long history of the PF Photo Contest, I've used many themes based on song titles. "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", "She Blinded Me With Science", "Walking On Sunshine", "Blue Moon", ... were all popular tunes that were used as our theme contest.

This week, you get to choose a song title, and then find a photo that clearly depicts or matches that title. Please include the song title and, if possible, the artist or an artist that popularized the tune to accompany 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 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.

Hint: Led Zeppelin tune.

You need to include the tune title or it will not be in the voting thread.

Sometimes happens that I don't remember a pic of mine that would have been presentable in this contest, then I'm a bit annoyed with myself after when I remember it. So a few weeks ago there was comp with title "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and I had forgotten this photo. But that's a song title so I have a second chance. Simon and Garfunkel 1970, in case you have never heard of it. :oldsmile:

Now if a competition for a theme closely related to "Fish Are Food Not Friends" were to come round again, by any chance,:oldsmile:, I would be able to unload my luckiest ever shot.
