Post subject:  The Photography Contest: Round 2 (Reflections) [CLOSED]

<center>Greetings! Welcome to the Photography Contest, directly from the brain of smeagollum and the fingertips of Johnny's Fan. :D

It is time for contest with a bit of difference. You need not a quill that would make Shakespeare proud nor a graphics programme that has so many buttons and gadgets to figure out, you start fiddling with it at Easter and the next moment it's Valentine's Day, no my friends! You just need a photographic appliance! :photo:.

Why a photographic contest? Well I think Teh Smeag thought it would be a good idea to have a contest that doesn't really require anything except a camera which most of us have and a subject which most of us can find, and I agreed with her. We also agreed that this would be a contest were the photograph is in the limelight - not all the things you can slap on top of it. Make sure you read the rules *snore* and have fun. Happy snapping! :-)



Round 1 Awards

(Many thanks to smeagollum for the beautiful awards *glomps*)

The theme of the round .... reflections</center>


Quote:
The Slightly Tedious But Nevertheless Important Stuff:

- Your photograph must follow the theme of the round. For example reflections in glass, picture frames etc. Basically anything that can reflect light or images. NOTE: Due the amount of water reflections that there probably will be, please try and be picky about the water reflection picture you choose before submitting your entry
- You must use your own image, no stealing other people's photos (I have hungry pink duckies to feed)
- Only one entry per person
- All entries to be posted here by URL only. Due to the absolute overcrowded-ness of my PM box, I can't accept PM entries this round. However, please just post the URL for your image, and the voting will be as anonymous as I can make it
- You don't need to have taken the photo specifically for this contest but if you can, use a picture that hasn't been turned into a graphic and posted here
- Photo size can either be 600x400, 700x500 or 800x600 (if you don't have a graphics programme and you need your image resized post here and let me know)
- If you edit your photograph in any way (see below) you must post the original photo as well as your entry (URL link)

Remember:

This is a photography contest, as such your photo will be judged on .. just that .. the photography side of things, not how well you have blended images together or made it all pretty with textures and brushes. There are a few ways you can edit your image, but not many (:teehee:).

You can:

- Edit the lighting - if your image is a bit darker or brighter than you would like then you can alter it, however don't make a daylight picture night and vice versa. ;)
- Retouch faces - retouch scars, pimples etc
- Crop photo

[Note: If you are without means to edit your photo's then post here and I'll see what I can do for you.]

You can't:

- Colour your photograph or turn it black and white
- Make it glowy
- Add brushes, textures, patterns, text or other images
- Add frames or borders



When you have read the rules, feel free to enter! :D

Thank you! :hug: Yes, I did take it in sepia. This is the original, even though I have it in b/w on my deviantart. ;-)

JF- may the reflection also be a shadow refelcting on a surface like grass or something?

Or isn't a shadow a reflection? :confused:

Perhaps I better send the picture for you to judge whether it's okay or not.
