Welcome to Round #107 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges.
This challenge is for all dgrin members that are not listed in the Mega Round 17 list.
It will run fromMonday, July9, 2012 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8) on through Monday, July 23, 2012 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8).
The theme this round for your interpretation will be: Essence of Youth (Black and white only)
Its any interpretation you would like to portrait what is young. Whether it be an actual child doing something silly or it be an older person playing a childish game. Whether it be a set up for the photo or a point and shoot at the moment of inspiration. The challenge is to capture the essence of youth in black and white image. Just so we understand: Toning is not considered black and white, its well...toning, it has other hues of color in it. Black and white has only black, white and various shades of grey.
There are no editing restrictions other than the black and white listed above listed above.
Also I would like to remind you all to please limit your titles to just a few words and not long run on descriptions or sentences. There is a limited amount of characters that the poll program will take per entry. Thank you!
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:

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!

Should this sentence say, "Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web")--EXIF data must be embedded in image"? Alternatively: "Submitted image must contain EXIF data, so do not use a minimal save method such as "Save for web."
not fresh, and not digital...
An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
This basic write up has been used for years and I think the original poster (super mod Sherstone) put it correctly because it was added when there were people who didn't know much about exif, and were wondering why their exif would disappear when they would go into an editing program. So saying "Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your EXIF will be embedded in your image, no worries!" is correct.
The rules state that the image must contain EXIF data already.
No reply needed -- I know this thread is for the contest and the associated images, not for Type A digressions on syntax and sentence flow.
You might want to make it clearer in the title that this is a black and white only challenge-- I almost missed it myself. Maybe spell out black and white instead of b/w, and maybe bold. I know it's spelled out in the description, but, as I learn daily in my job, people don't read.
Also, toning?
Gorgeous shot!
I have clarified the above post to include bold letters and better description of what is expected.
It's that moment which confirms the theory that kids are always just playing you with their cuteness and sizing you up....
