AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "That Shouldn't Be There," inviting participants to submit digital photos that reflect the theme. Contest rules specify that only one photo per member is allowed, and submissions must be original images taken by the member. Photos should be uploaded to a photo server or directly to the forum, adhering to file size limitations. The contest concludes with a polling phase where members vote for their favorite submission. A humorous example shared involves a Home Depot bag found in a lake, illustrating the theme in a lighthearted manner. The conversation also includes reminders about the contest deadlines and clarifications on submission rules.

That Shouldn't Be There

The theme this week is on something that should not be where it is, or something that does not belong there.

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. Size limitations: Your photo is only limited to the file size limitation set by PhysicsForums. However, your may want to consider reducing the size of your photo if the file size exceeds 1 Mb. If your file is being hosted elsewhere, I will have to see how it is being displayed here, and I may ask you to resize and resubmit if it causes problems.

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 withdrawal 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.

Home Depot bag pulled out of a local lake on a fishing spoon. Since it was filled with water, my guest thought he had a fish!

I hope this is obvious to all here
 
Not so much "that shouldn't be there" - more an "aye, but not like that" and anyway how did they get like that?
