 Ok! Time to Swing in for the first comp of 2006!
 The Theme as Decided By Potatis who had the honour deffered to him from Rokkstar:
 :3. "Opposites" - Any two or more things in the photo that appear to be the opposites of each other. Could be something square with something round. Something open with something closed. Something dark with something light etc, etc..
 Please note the new registration requirements in the rules post...

  Gallery Opens for submission: 12 Noon Monday Feb 6 
  Gallery Closes for Submission: 12 Noon Monday Feb 20 
  Voting starts after that and closes on 12 Noon Monday feb 27
 This will be a No-Prize comp, except for the bragging rights and ability to pick the theme for Comp 9... 
 To Register for the Comp (you must be a MEMBER) pm me:
 *Your user name on this forum
 *The primary camera body you use

This means that those who have joined pretty much from today and onwards will be ineligible to enter this current comp unless you get that post count up and attend a DSLR Users function of sorts by the time the due date rolls around.

 Cool choice of challenge.
 Just need to nurture a few more pots before I can participate though... wonder if they'll multiply if I feed them extra well        Judy

 Remember you CAN change your entries later so get a place holder in just in case you end up to busy towards the end of the challenges.
 
 Remember the aim of these challenges is self improvement so go out there and find some contrasts TODAY!
