The theme this round for your interpretation will be: Make a SPLASH!

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!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge
RULES.

Please note that there has been a rules wording change, so be sure you have re-read the rules!

    I cannot wrap my mind around how people will not follow the rules when they enter a compitition. Every challenge it seems I have to DQ perfectly good images because the owner just doesn't read the rules fully, and follow them. I do not know who owns the one splash that has no name or title, but I hope you see this post and the comment I left for you. I hate to dq images people!

    We have a cat that likes to play in the water. He gets up on the sink (or into the sink) and flicks his paw through the water stream. He has a drinking fountain and I thought he would be a good splash photo. I was trying to get a photo of him drinking or playing in the fountain (which is on the floor) and got down on the floor and couldn't get up. Bob had to come and get me up. Unfortunately the fountain is grey plastic and doesn't make a good photo even if the cat is playing in it, which he doesn't do if I am down on the floor. He's too busy trying to figure out what I'm doing down there to drink any water. :)

    When I did my first Challenge entry, I was told I had to include with the photo, my name on the site, a space, a hyphen, a space, and a title. I hadn't done it quite right and IIRC I didn't leave the spaces. I don't know how important that is.

    Leaving your user name - title isn't the same as an exif. The exif info is automatically kept with the image and when you put the image in the gallery, we are able to see it by clicking the info button. Or you have to leave a link to the original image in another gallery if it got stipped from the entry via editing.

    Anyway, it looks like the person who forgot their name and title saw the post and added it. That I am greatful for!clap.gif However we still have one with no exif. :cry

    That wasn't what I was saying. I know that exif and user name and title are not the same. I did struggle with the exif information on my first post because I edited it in a program that stripped it out. But I was also told I didn't do the name and title correctly. I had done it, but not the right way. I don't know if I put the title first, or left off my name, or what I did. I just know I didn't do it right.

    I voted for two...but great job everybody. I watch these challenges wave...up. down. left. right. in and out. You all did an excellent job. Two though ripped me, and I hope one of my favs wins. If not, oh well. It challenges us to become better, or at least design and think. I smell dog farts, time to walk the brood.
