Welcome to Round #99 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member.

It will run from Monday, March 19, 2012 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8) on through Monday, April 2, 2012 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Norman Rockwell:

One of the worlds best illustrators of his time, Norman Rockwell images have been loved throughout the years. Your challenge is to create an image that has the feel of a Norman Rockwell image. It does not need to be a replica of one of his images, rather create a photograph that tells a story of everyday life in your world. There are NO editing restrictions this round, so you can make it look like an illustration through filters or not. Totally up for your interpretation! Just as long as it gives a sense of Norman Rockwell to the viewer and be sure your EXIF stays in tact.
Here are some of his works: http://binged.it/zAQwaU

NO EDITING RESTRICTIONS.

Your Judge:

1 round 72 Hour Public Vote.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a SmugMug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page:

DSS #99 Entry Gallery

Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your EXIF will be embedded in your image, no worries!

    American Gothic was not Rockwell... it was Grant Wood.

    Hmm... I'm not all together with it tonight, apparently... but maybe Grant Wood would be an interesting photo challenge someday.

    As much as I love this theme, and had an idea within minutes... I have not and will not have time to put it together. I've always created original ideas, but this time I wanted to update this photo by painting on a 46" flat screen and photoshop, as if the screen was a touch screen (like the new Wacom Cintiq 24HD). Something I still plan on creating in the near future.

    There are several great entries this round! Good luck to all thumb.gif

    My first entry
    I just entered this challenge. I could not get what I really wanted down but was visiting my in-laws when I happened upon the image I placed in the challenge. I hope you all like it. I tried several times to place the image here but could not get it. So if you go to the gallery mine is the one with the cat.

    Darryl, looks like you got it in there correctly, but you should put a space before and after the dash (-) :Dthumb.gif
