Upcoming Comp!

[Geoff]

After the amazing effort and results from the previous comp of 'egg' I can't wait until the new theme is announced which I think will be today!! There is going to be much excitement and I believe will encourage an incredible amount of skill and talent!! Watch this space or near!!

[MHD]

Be Excited... be very excited

[Alpha_7]

I'm exciting and very happy I know longer have to be Eggcited.

The theme better not be chickens!

[MHD]

Why? What came first?

[Oz_Beachside]

I love the idea/challenge of a theme/comp. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

Hope its somehting I can experiement with the new beast (very excited about this lens)...

cheers,
Oz

I reckon it's going to be....... "Two Eggs".

Get ready for plenty of "That's a nice pair" jokes.

[Manta]

Will it be the same as in past comps, ie Liam gets to choose the theme? Having been in that position myself, I know it's an unenviable task, now made even more so after such an amazingly successful Challenge.

[Kyle]

Awesome

Might have a go at this one

[Glen]

Simon, the theme wont be chosen by Liam. We have gone past that model for a comp as while it is a good model and fitting reward for the winner, we found multiple minds critically tearing apart any theme gets a better result. Often one person sees a theme only a few ways, when others may see a more obtuse variation not originally intended. Multiple minds should explore all variables and potential pitfalls with any theme (and we have seen a few pitfalls). The egg theme was the result of exactly that sort of robust discussion.. Many mods/admins have seen a few different interpretations of a theme in the past, the intention is to remove interpretation of theme and compliance with the theme as variables, leaving all entrants on an even footing with just the quality of their imagery being compared.

[Geoff]

It's going to be fantastic!
I'm just bubbling with excitement. (no comments re the megan gale shot either thanks!!)

[Alpha_7]

Hmmm, has there been any subtle or not so subtle hints here ?? /eyes mods suspiciously.

[Geoff]

Craig - not sure what u mean?
Would any of the mods do that??

You definately will be able to experiement, float some ideas around with us when the theme is announced - oh, u can't actually do that. I'm sure some ideas will just pop into your mind.

[sheepie]

Geoff - you sound like you've been on the champers again!

I wish! Right now I'd prefer an aero bar

[optogamut]

More eggs! I'm still getting the odd idea when I have my eggs for brecky.

[Geoff]

Danny as long as you're not frothing at the mouth thinking about eggs I'm sure everything will be fine

[beetleboy]

Sheesh..if one could smell innuendo we'd all need gas masks at this point!!

I'm quite frankly glad I don't have to choose the next theme - one of the first things I thought when I found out I won was "oh crap, now I have to come up with a theme!!!!"

Sweet relief!

[Justin]

So, is the theme going to be epileptic fits caused by to many camera flashes? This could cause frothing.
