Recession

The Rules:

* The competition is open now and will close on 31st October 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.
* If you wish to remain anonymous even after voting has finished, then please let me know when you are submitting your image.
* Ensure you enclose a title and please make sure whatever host you use I can download the pic.

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.
* You will not be able to vote for your own entry.

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.

Voting:

* Voting occurs for one week from the 1st November until midnight on 7th November
* After voting has finished the winner chooses the next theme within a couple of days.
* Once the new theme has been chosen entries may be submitted at any time up to midnight on the last day of the month.

Good luck

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

My hairline is not receeding - the skinline is advancing. There's a subtle difference ;)

Not a loss of hair, rather a gaining of face :D

People seem to be struggling this month. Let's hope we get a ruch of last minute entries.

I hope so, as I genuinely haven't got a scooby this time round.

Still holding out for some last ditch inspiration though.

"Think laterally, not literally" is easier said than done, but it is winning advice...

I always get recession and precession confused. Unfortunately, that's not "lateral". It's just wrong :oops:

recession: The action of receding; motion away from an observer.

precession: The slow movement of the axis of a spinning body around another axis due to a torque (such as gravitational influence) acting to change the direction of the first axis.
