Just a reminder to TravelinLass, Shooting Star and Juano... I'll need to know which three images you want me to consider for the grand prizes of fame and fortune I've been authorized to dream of giving out.
Deadline is late on March 6 (PST) at least 10:00 p.m.
Thanks for the reminder, Bill - but I guess I'll just stick with the first 3 that I've numbered 1), 2) and 3).
What with the eclectic array of fine entries that are pouring in here, there's little chance in H that any of mine will even make honorable mention. But that's o.k. 'cuz that's not why I participate - it's simply an honor to presume to rub shutters with the amazing photographers here.

Really Juano? Not #3 (Cuba)? I really like that one - such come hither intrigue, reminds me of the (similarly Soviet-esque) entrance to a hostel I stayed at in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Thanks, I like it too, maybe I've looked at it too much. Like you, my post is just to share.
Hey everyone. Cool stuff coming in for MC #159. Windows to the soul... doors to aventure... makes a person want to while away the day sitting and dreaming.

Hi Bill
You must have gone through the posts seeing 4 pictures without reading. Busy man? or maybe my text is too boring :cry
It is written on my post that the first one is not an entry but just to make people smile. My entries are noted 1, 2 & 3
Cheers,
Claire
Nature can be so different around the world but it is always amazing!
Memol, I love your door to the see. Dreamy. And the speed boat around the big one gives it great movement.
Juano, I will disagree with the others as my favorite is #2 Senegal. The composition makes it quite original and colors are great. When I look at #3, i see what it could have been and feel frustrated by the result (although very nice... I am being difficult....)

Ok... let's peek into some windows and knock on some doors. Two ubiquitous architectural structures that have some magnetic draw for photographers. I'm interested in photos where the door or the window is either the primary subject or where it frames the subject and becomes part of the composition.
This challenge will close at 10 PM (PST) Wednesday, March 6, 2013 or as soon as I get home from work that night - could be a late one!
OUR UN-OFFICIAL GENERAL RULES
1. Have fun sharing and seeing what others share!
2. The host supplies a topic and you post 1-3 images. The host judges the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and is not eligible to enter. The 1st place winner becomes the next host, chooses the next topic and becomes the next judge.
3. Any photo you’ve taken is eligible, regardless of when taken or camera used.
4. Any amount of post-processing is allowed. However, it is helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo.
5. You may comment on other contestant's images. If you want someone to leave you some critique or criticism, just ask within your post.
6. The winner has up to three days (72 hours) to begin a new mini-challenge, or the honor goes to the #2 finisher and so forth.
Guidelines:
1. Enter 1-3 photos and put them in a single post.
2. Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
3. Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (~800 pixels on the longest side works best.)
4. Give each image you enter a title.
5. Enjoy discussion with members about their images, don't let this just be an entry thread!
6. When quoting a post, change the IMG urls to a 200x200 size picture so it is clear your post is feedback and not another entry. (See here for help).
7. Don't be hesitant; share 'em and enter!
Mini-Challenge pointers:
1. Upon winning a mini-challenge round, your first step is coming up with a new theme and starting a new thread using the same format as others have used.
2. Make sure to notify the admin of this thread to update the main thread links with your entry thread.
3. Feel free to watch the thread as it grows or wait to the end time and look at all the entries all at once.
4. After the time/date has passed, then officially close the thread with a single post notifying everyone of the fact.
5. After you're finished judging, start a new thread (again using the prior formats) and post your Winner and runners-up. It is important to have runners up in case the winner does not show within the 72-hour window.
6. PM the winner with this info above and let them know they have 72 hours to set up the next mini-challenge.
7. If the winner does not show/start the next mini-challenge after 72 hours, notify the next runner-up and post a message on the Winner thread of the fact.
8. Remember, if you're the Winner, you run the next mini challenge!
Here are some samples for your perusal:
terrific theme, Bill, and it has had so many inspiring contributions. Thanks.
Nice theme Bill. I'm also drawn to doors and windows when I have my camera in hand. I have several to choose from and will probably end up switching photos a couple of times before this challenge closes because I just can't make up my mind which ones that I like best. I'll start with these for now.

Thank you! A lot of work went into that one. From pre-planning to post-processing it really stretched my skills at that time. I posted a thread showing my work that you can find here.
Thanks Cristobal.... likewise - I was enjoying Senegal when my wife happened by and commented ... and, she's usually a tough sell 'cause I make her look at way more pics than she ever wanted to.
Great pictures so far! I've got several where the window is essential to the composition and the atmosphere of the photograph (not to mention, the light), but it is not the topic itself. I don't know if they qualify, but I'll share them anyway!
1. Cozy Evening In (Leavenworth, WA)
2. Natural Light (Williamsburg, VA)
3. Window Seat (Oslo, Norway)
One more...but I am assuming this one doesn't count, since it is very hard to see the window. However, it is pretty essential to my composition!
Less than 24 hours to post...
... man, I've got some work ahead! What GREAT images you've all submitted. Such a variety to pick from. So far there are 71 images to consider from 26 Dgrinners. Way to go!

I really really like #3, "Cuba".
