Welcome to Round #127 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges.

JAG

This challenge is for all dgrin members.

It will run from Monday, April 15, 2013 8:00pm PST time (GMT -8) on through Monday, April 29, 2013 8:00pm PST time
(GMT -8).

The theme this round for your interpretation will be: If I Could Catch a Rainbow (illustration)

Illustrate the following poem:

IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you are feeling blue
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I am finding
Are impossible for me
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there

You can take one word, one sentence or the poem meaning as a whole and illustrate it in your image! Get those creative minds thinking!

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:

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!

When I'm thinking about this challenge, I keep singing in my head to myself "If I could catch time in a bottle"

Although the real lyrics are
" If I could SAVE time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you"

When I uploaded my photo - I thought it hadn't uploaded because the whole thing disappeared so I did it a second time, and that one needs to be deleted. The two photos are the same - sorry.

wow! This closes in about an hour and I am quite suprised of the low turn out! There was so many different ways to interpret, yet it seems to have stumped so many! Well next one should be easier.

Joyce - I was trying to enter my exif & must not have gotten it saved before the challenge closed. Here is my exif:

you can still edit even though its closed. Go ahead and add it! Thanks for posting it here. You had me worried!

Just did - was kinda rushed & didn't realize I wasn't logged into the challenge - that's why I didn't see the "edit" by the title before. It's fixed now. Thanks!
