ECM Elf Photo

Submissions of photo-only artwork images. Read the image-rules on Elftown Creature Marathon (In short, it has to be your image and it has to be free to copy, but it doesn't have to be new). The goal of this contest is to get a nice image of a typical elf to put on top of the Elves page.

Add your image and a link to your house here.
ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!
To upload your image full-size you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wikipage.
<URL:upload_zip.html>
Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

Upload a great looking photograph of a typical elf or a realistically looking photo-manipulation or a dressed up human in case you can't find a real elf...

In regards to 'stock photos':

The stock image has to be that of an Elftown member and for a photo entry, there has to be a substantial amount added/done with it to enter it. - The Council.

EACH MEMBER MAY SUBMIT ONE (1) ENTRY
Exceptions might be offered if there is a valid reason for it. But, if you do submit more than one image, you will greatly lower your chance of winning, as the votes for your style will be spread out on two entries.

Except for the normal badges and stuff, the winner will get credits on what we hope will be the best page about elves. We might pick one male and one female elf-photo or more as winners.

Please note the extremely long deadline! It's because elves tend to be pretty rare and we want the best shots we can get.

THEME:
Any entry that does not follow the "Elf theme", will be removed.

MEDIUM:
Photography with a minimal amount of manipulation. We don't want images that look too artistically modified.

If you have photos of atypical elves, you're welcome to submit them here, but we'll mark them as outside of contest.

REMEMBER THE GOAL: We want:
- The BEST QUALITY photos
- The MOST TYPICAL "Elf" photos
- LARGE PHOTOS
...to represent Elftown having the best Elf Page on the Internet as part of the Elftown Creature Marathon!
This may be helpful: Elf.

Brief description:
Appearance: We are not looking for 'child elves'.
Elves, mythological and fantasy creatures, originally imagined as small in nature, but now usually taken to be the same size as man, often pictured as youthful-seeming men and women of great beauty, lived in forests, underground places, in caves, springs and wells, believed to be immortal and beings of magical powers, often do not possess facial or body hair and are visualised with long and pointed, leaf shaped ears.

Three important notations:


---> #1: When the finalists are posted in the Main Street Poll or on a public poll page, the participants are not allowed to beg for votes for their own entry. Do not ask people to vote for your entry via private messages, guestbook messages, moods, wikis, or by any other means. Your entry will be disqualified if you are caught doing so. It is perfectly fine to advertise THE POLL, however!
---> #2: If you feel any of the entries break the rules, please speak up before the entries make it to the polls. You can still speak up even after the contest is closed, as long as the polls have not yet gone up yet. Complaints received after the aforementioned will not be considered valid.
---> #3: For discussions about the Elftown competitions: Here it's discussed if an entry is in accordance with the rules and similarly more complicated issues that can't be solved with a simple wiki-comment. Go to: <forum:Elftown contests>

Insert number, your name, and your image here, after the last, previous entry. Use "img300" to insert the image if it's bigger than that (And it should be! Please upload big photos!).

Title your entries, please!

A title more than just "Elf" is needed.
Thank you!

young Cia, with her "pet" unicorn...*wink*
Staff comment: Nice image and it might be usable around the elves-page, but it's not a "typical" elf and will not go the final for this contest.

Staff comment: Too little elf seen in the photo, so it's not good as an illustration of the elf itself, but a good photo for describing forest elves' lives.

2008-01-01 [nehirwen]: thank you [Artsieladie], it is a friend of me I caught sneaking through my backyard ;)

2008-01-01 [Artsieladie]: Ahh! Lucky for us, you captured this elf a sneakin'! <img:stuff/BR-GIF.gif>

2008-01-01 [Little Insane Cat]: thank you :)

2008-01-03 [Falx]: Where can I find a tutorial on how to photo manipulate elf ears onto someone?

2008-01-03 [Artsieladie]: Hmmm....I was going to suggest Elftown Tutorials, but I don't see one 'specifically for this', not even one for photo manipulation in general. What program do you use? Photoshop? Gimp? PSP? Other? :)

2008-01-06 [Falx]: Photoshop. I found one on google, but thank you. ^_^
I hope it makes it through.

2008-01-06 [Artsieladie]: YW, but I didn't really help any. ;) Do you remember what the link is? It might be good to add to Digital Art Resources --> Digital Art resources Links. :) Looks like a good ear to me! ;)

2008-01-06 [Falx]: I'll have to find it again. I'll put it up as soon as I do.

2008-01-06 [Artsieladie]: Thanks! I'll post it there & tell Jitter it was from you. :)

2008-01-07 [Hedda]: Nice ones, 8 and 9! <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

2008-01-07 [Falx]: Thank you.

2008-01-07 [nehirwen]: yay! <img:stuff/shadN-gif.gif>

2008-02-01 [Artsieladie]: [Kahri], please don't continue to keep resizing your 'b' submission to a larger size. The entries are supposed to be 'thumbnailed' to 300.

Insert number, your name, and your image here, after the last, previous entry. Use "img300" to insert the image if it's bigger than that (And it should be! Please upload big photos!).

2008-02-02 [Kahri]: I was asked by SilverFire to try to make it bigger. Sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused:)

2008-02-02 [Artsieladie]: I see. I think you are misunderstanding, then. We are looking for the image itself to BE BIGGER, not 're-sized bigger' here. We want big images! When they are posted here, then they are to be thumbnailed (300). They then, can be clicked on to view the actual larger version. <img:stuff/BR-GIF.gif>

2008-02-02 [windowframe]: We've already cleared that issue.

2008-02-02 [Kahri]: Yeah, we got that cleared up.

2008-02-03 [Artsieladie]: Since [Little Insane Cat] & [Iske] have updated/changed their entries to be more apropos, I'm removing the 'staff comment'. :P

2008-03-07 [Cia_mar]: very well done [Kuruni]
i like that alot!!!!

2008-03-07 [Kuruni]: Thank you [Cia_mar]!!
