AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a photo contest themed around strange animals, encouraging participants to share unique and unusual animal images they have captured. Contest rules stipulate that only original digital photos are allowed, with specific guidelines on size, editing, and submission processes. Participants can submit one photo each, and the contest will culminate in a member voting poll to determine the best entry. The conversation highlights the excitement of encountering bizarre creatures and the importance of adhering to the contest rules to ensure fair participation. An example of a strange animal shared includes a small insect that caught the attention of a participant due to its unusual appearance and movement.

The strange animal[/color][/size]

I suppose you all had that moment - you saw something strange, you had a camera with you, and you took a picture. Could be it was an elephant with two trunks, could be it was notagoshawk, could be it was something that you have no idea what it was - but it lied on the floor, looked ugly and twisted in a disgusting manner so you assumed it was alive. Show it now!

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.

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. 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.

No idea what it is. Definitely some kind of insect. It caught my attention because it was moving. Around 5 mm long.
