Rock

* 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.

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.

Voting:

* Voting occurs for one week from midnight on the last day of August until midnight on 7 September.

Good luck

Ooohh. I might be tempted out for this one.

I wasn't tempted out for the previous one … I took the pic from inside my bedroom looking out the window.

I work at the British Geological Survey. If I can't muster an entry this month then I need shooting!

Damn. None of my rock photos are digital. Might have to take some more being a geologist by trade and all that.

I'm addicted to smoking crack, so I have no excuses this month!

I think that would be against forum (and therefore photo comp) rules with regards to illegal activities.

aww

Something came to me in a flash

Websites in all their graphical glory?

Yeah, the whole 'entries are anonymous' thing

You don't like my ring?
