Do you want to PM me the rules and theme etc (as it was your idea after all) or do you just want me to come up with things?

I will help, but you should also make up some stuff.. since it will be your contest.

-Recoloring.
-Brushes, textures, text, etc.

That sounds pretty good to me. I think the theme should be something simple to start with, like plants or something. It can progress to something a bit more adventurous once we know how popular the contest is. :-)

I would agree with that also. Many people don't realize that when starting contests, and so the contests don't work all that well. I will admit, I have made that mistake before.

Sounds like this is shaping up well! One suggestion with the themes, is to choose themes that are "world-wide". Example: People living in certain areas might have a hard time with a theme of "snow" or "Fall colors" or the like.

Yeah.. especially since it doesn't snow here in Florida.. or have seasons for that matter.

That would fall under "seasons". A photograph of nature that clearly shows either spring, summer, autumn or winter. :-)

I'll be starting this contest later on tonight. Does trees sound OK for the first round? Or would flowers be better? Just to get people entering?

I would say flowers... because people don't typically go outside to take a picture of a tree....

:blush:

You wouldn't believe the things I take pictures of. Flowers, trees, clouds, traffic lights and pylons are a favourite of mine. :teehee:

Flowers it is then... unless someone objects... :P

Same here..

I have found that most anything looks good at an angle.

I took a picture of my chair the other day, and it turned out really well.. I will have to find it and put it on my graphics thread.

Ooh, I haven't really tried anything artsy yet. I've only had a really good camera since November, so I've taken pictures of nothing except Christmas stuff.

I've got so many photo's that I took this year, I've had to move them off the computer as there was no space on it anymore. :lol:

I'm actually looking forward to summer so I can take better quality photo's which hopefully I can sell.

WOW! THAT IS A LOT OF PHOTOS!

You should get your own personal "picture" computer. :P

But, now I am going to have to find the picture and post it.

Yeah, I reckon there is at least 2,000. I am rather click-happy.

And with my new camera the files are so big, I can't really keep many on the computer at all, which is a bit of a pain.

I'm trying to get a Coppermine gallery up and running as part of my resources section, but it's very complicated.

Yesss, we needss it preciousss... we wantsss it....
