This is where you post your entries. Please place all discussion and questions in this thread
Rules:
-The image must be created for this contest, and must be your own work.
-You may submit a single image, or three images combined into a triptych. Note: You will not score higher for submitting a triptych if it is not done well.
-No photomanipulation allowed, except for minor retouching or to place a border around the image or images.
-If you submit a triptych, they must be combined into one image with borders between them, so that you only submit one image technically.
-One entry per person.
-Once you’ve entered, you CANNOT edit your thread for any reason! If you make a mistake, please PM an administrator to fix it for you. This way we can make sure no one cheats.
Deadline: November 30th 2009 at 11:59pm EST (that’s GMT -5. In California, or PST, it’d be 8:59pm, and in England it’d be 4:59am)
Judging Criteria:
-Creativite Choice 25pts
How creative you were in deciding on a story, and choosing what images would best portray it.
-Technical Skill 10pts

-Composition 15pts
How well your composition is throughout the images
-Use of colour/b+w/ect 25pts
How well you used the colour or lack-there-or in your shots
-Use of Light 25pts
How do you use the lighting to your advantage in your shots to either set the mood or bring out the elements in the photo
You can earn a total of 100 points.
The Prize:
As of right now, it's very simple. Your work gets displayed on the front page of this forum until the end of another contest, and it will be noted in your member info. You will also receive a special ticket with a number on it that allows you to post a thread in the Critique section without first making a comment. This ticket can only be used once, however.
I [Saknika] am the only judge, and will post how everyone scored with a reason as to why for every entry. Because I am the only judge, all other staff members are eligible to enter this contest.
