Starting My Day

* The competition is open now and will close on 30th September at midnight.
* PM me your submissions.
* ONE photo per user, however you may CHANGE your submitted photo at any time up to the due date by sending me a PM.
* There is no maximum or minimum image dimensions, we are not here to discriminate against hardware.
* Only very light editing is allowed. Adjustment of Levels, Colour Correction, Contrast, Sharpening and Cropping is allowed.
* This thread will be closed at the specified time (end of the month). No extra entries will be accepted, except under special circumstances.
* Entries breaking these rules will not be entered.
* The forum policy on images and content must be followed.

The Process:

* Please keep the image size to less than 1.5Mb

* Go out and take a photo, fitting in the theme and rules.
* Post your entry to me by PM, I will host it and post it.
* When the due date passes, the entries thread will be closed, and a voting thread created to determine the favourite.

The Tips:

* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.
* Try to make everyone think about what they're looking at.
* Do what YOU think is right. Art is very subjective. What's great to you, sucks to someone else, etc.
* Title your work, it will make your choices more obvious
* This is nothing serious, have fun while you're doing it.

Good luck

Bugger - is it morning already?

I'm fairly busy for the next 72 hours, working and moving etc. Any entries may be delayed for a short while.

I'll wait for the photo of toast to be submitted.
You know who you are. (8+)

I have no idea what you're talking about. 0=o)

Actually, I haven't been able to come with anything for my own theme. I am seriously considering not entering this round.

Poor turn out, this month.

I was half expecting a blizzard of breakfast and sunrise pics. My first effort was an attempt to capture milk being poured onto cereal - which proved beyond my abilities to pull off convincingly.
