Hi Everyone, dgrin challenge 66 is here. It will run from Monday, May 29th at 12:00:01 a.m. NYC time, through Monday, June 12th at Noon NYC time. The guest judge for the challenge will be the winner of challenge 65, as determined by the voters.

Remember, in order for everyone to benefit, you should be commenting and critiquing for others as much as you expect to get for yourself. You've got to give to get!

The challenge 66 theme is Patches. It could be a patch used to mend, or simply a patch of light. Be sure to give your patch context. Without context you won't know it's a patch. For instance, a patch of grass that fills the entire frame is just grass. Whatever it is, it should be "a part of something marked out from the rest by a particular characteristic; a small area or amount of something".

This thread, is the one into which you post your challenge entry, and remember, one entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during the challenge period. You must post the date the photograph was taken or it will be deemed ineligible. Any entries without a date included, either typed in or by linked exif, will be deleted without notice.

All of the rules of the dgrin photo challenges apply, please read them!


***Challenge 66 will close to entries on Monday, June 12th at 12 Noon NYC time***

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.
