    We are up to 117 entries, not counting a couple that don't show. (Flash and Onebaduce check your entries!)

    Anything posted up to and including midnight on the 27th will be included in the judging so keep them coming.

    I hope to post the results by no later than Sunday morning.

    But I gotta tell you, this is one really difficult set of photos to choose from. What marvelous entries. bowdown.gifbowbowdown.gif

    Not sure what was wrong. It was there for awhile, then the pic just didn't work. It showed up when I went into advanced edit mode. I deleted it and replaced. Is Robert the Bruce showing up again?

    Thanks!

    Note to self...

    Should I ever be fortunate enough to win one of these challenges remember to choose a category that is not as generic as "Light & Shadow"

    I do not want to choose from over a hundred outstanding images.

    Emily's Grandmother, you have a most difficult job.
    I do not envy you. thumb.gif

    Hey! Look! I've only entered two photos and three is the limit. I'm sure I can find at least one more. rolleyes1.gif
    Blessed are those who remain flexible, for they shall not get bent out of shape.

    Go for it. Might as well. I'd love to see what you come up with. And I'll bet everyone else would like to see it too.

    You are right, though. There be a lot of beautiful photos that are competing for one slot.

    Hint: If you can get one of my granddaughter, maybe we can do a deal and my job will be a lot easier. deal.gifwink Just kidding. rolleyes1.gif

    Wow! What a find. I stumbled across this site on twitter and am totally blown away at the quality of the images I have found. So inspired I thought I'd better register and add one or two of my own. They aren't quite up to the standard some of the images I've seen already in this thread but who knows, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Here they are:

    Hi Greensquared! Yes, I had submitted it previously for an LPS competition so I'm not sure if I broke a rule or not by submitting it for this competition. If I did, I apologize; I will withdraw the photo. I thought it fit well with the subject though so I thought I'd put it in. Thanks for the comment, it means a lot to me to receive feedback, especially from the talented group of photogs on this forum. All these shots are TERRIFIC! Thanks to all!

    A newcomer to DGrin and SmugMug; I'm thoroughly enjoying both sites at the moment and think that these mini-contests are a great way to challenge yourself as a photographer. Thanks for the opportunity to share!

    It's ok to submit traditional camera photos, right? (i.e. photos taken with trad. camera on Kodachrome, etc... then scanned) And if I haven't done anything with EXIF, just edited in photoshop & maybe keyworded or titled it, I can simply list the camera & lens, etc. to have it accepted, correct? Thanks. --Anna Lisa

    I may be wrong, but I don't think you have to mess around with EXIF for the Mini challenges... just the DSS ones... :)

    Yes, its fine for the mini-challenge to post any photo you took yourself whenever you took it with or without EXIF.

    The rules for the DSS challenges are much more rigid. Be sure to read them carefully before entering.

    Midnight tonight EST is the cutoff for this round of the mini-challenge!!
