It begins!
Last Photographer Standing Contest Qualifying Round #1

At long last, the Dgrin Last Photographer Contest is officially under way! This is Contest #1, a qualifying round. This round is open to any dgrin member! It will run from Monday, March 5th 12:01am to Monday, March 19th 12:01am. *all NYC time (GMT-5)

The topic ready for your interpretation: Chilled or Steamy.

Shay says:
Open the creative centers of your brain to illustrate what "Chilled" means to you. If "Chilled" is just not your thing, then put your creativity behind showing us what "Steamy" brings up in your mind. Just remember, there are other photographers out there working on the opposite theme hoping to take your spot as a semifinalist, so your work has to visually stand up to some heavy competition, make it your best!

The dual theme is designed to spark interesting visual contrast in the challenge entries. The viewers should be treated to an exciting and non-predictable viewing experience. It should also serve to stimulate and inspire other photographers to enter the contest. What we are going for is nothing short of visual overload! Full speed ahead, this is going to be great!
This thread, is the one into which you post your entry. Remember, 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Entries must have exif embedded or appended. Click here and here for help. Photos entered without proper exif showing a clear shot date will be disqualified.

    Well, here is my entry so far. This may change if I find something that I find more appealing. I tried to do a play on the word Chilled. I took it as though it was Chilly, aka Chili. But at the sametime it was steaming hot. You get the picture.
