The topic for June is... ***What The World Cup Means To You***

The Rules:

* 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 size, 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 must be followed.

The Process:

* Please keep the image size to less than 1.5Mb

The Tips:

* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.

* 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.

What I think

Oh boy.

If I photograph a screen shot of the Italia 90 logo on my TFT, can I enter that?
That's the only world cup that has really really meant something to me.

Yep.

Hello?







Hello o o o oo

What happens if only one or two people end up entering?

Can someone win by default? What if it's a tie?

It depends on the voting. A tie would invoke the 'F1' rule. If no outright winner then a tie is possible

I suggest somebody posts something and the rest of us don't. Then everybody votes for the one pic and it wins. We then move on to next month and another topic..... like 'smell', 'time' or 'emotion'

I've tried to come up with anything that sums up my feelings about the world cup, but I keep coming back to the original answer of a pile of dog sh!t.

So, I think I'll sit this one out. Sorry.

I have a good idea for a pic for this one

Me too, unless I can think of a photo that says "nothing"...

Challenge - try and photograph a white one like you saw in the 80's.

Challenge - find one at all. Every owner has to pick up and dispose of their pooch poo.

Yeah, whatever happened to that?

They stopped putting bone meal in dog food for the calcium.

I've got a couple of ideas...
