Hi Everyone, dgrin challenge 64 is here. It will run from Monday, 1st May at 12:00:01 a.m. NYC time, through Monday, 15th May 2006 at Noon NYC time. The guest judge for the challenge will be the winner of challenge 63, 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 64 theme is Contextual Portraits

Ok, so we've done portraits before, so I thought I'd add something extra! I want to see a portrait but I want the photograph to tell me something about the subject other than what they look like. That "something" could be their hobby, career, passion, lifestyle, belief, duty, skill, habit, background etc, etc....
Oh, and one more rule :deal the subject must be HUMAN!

ere's a couple of examples

Thanks Yuri :thumb

    Photo Challenge Entry
    Hi all. It's been a while since I've posted but missed everyone here, so I had to come back. Been roaming around a lot between my freelance work and moving back to Greenville, North Carolina. I'm glad to be back in G-Vegas. Nothing beats college sports, and Professional BMX bikers calling Greenville home. Not to mention the premium grade graphic artists that call G-ville home as well. mwink.gif Anyway, here's the exif and the photo.
