**** RULES **** 

The winner of previous challenge (Host)  gives you a topic of interest and a set of rules to follow for that challenge. You post an image. The host chooses the winner of his challenge. The decision of the  host is final.  you can not enter your own challenges if you are the host.  The winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and passes on the baton to that person, etc.

Generally speaking they images must be taken the day of the start of challenge till the last day of challenge unless the  host specifies differently in his rules.
You can do all the post processing you want, unless specified in the challenge differently. However, it is most helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo and what post processing you did.  Feel free to comment on other contestant's images. If you want someone to leave you a piece of constructive criticism, please state so in your post.

Here are some guidelines:
When posting your picture do so in a new post with the contest # and entry # as the subject.
Either embed your image in the thread using the depot upload in teh post, or  if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website). Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing to minimize having to scroll  (1000-1200 pixels wide maximum)
Provide any additional information you want.

You may enter up to *THREE* pictures to each challenge,  Please limit the size of your entries to conserve bandwidth. 350K or less works well.
The challenge can run for any length of time the host decides (please keep it within reason, i.e. none over 30 days in length, 2  to 3 weeks seems to work well).
