Season Photos, page 3

Theme:
Like all the great contests here, this one has a particular theme so no posting photos of your great Aunt Ethel or the neighbour's dog.
As the month of March often signifies the change of season, we felt that we would like to see some photos that best represent this climatic time of change all over the world. Be it from Winter to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere or from Summer to Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, we want to see it all!

Rules:
Photographs must be taken by Elftowners and posted here by the original photographer. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here without the photographer's permission. Please put forth your best effort and the best quality, i.e. no coffe stained, faded Kodachrome photos from the 1960's. Any such entry will be removed. Each member may enter 2 entries!! Please keep in mind that it is possible that a photograph has the same title as another one. This is not against the rules as long as the photographers' names are clear.
Ok... a few last minute notes: While this is a photograph based competition, we will not be accepting photomanipulations for this particular contest. We want to see your photos of what best depicts the change of seasons, no fairies or unicorns this time around.
Do not feel limited to nature only shots. Anything you feel is a sign of changing seasons is welcomed... just be ready to explain your photo if the need arises.

Size:
Since the chosen images will be featured on Main Street, we would like to keep them fairly small. Your image should be no wider than 300 pixels and the height should be no more than 500. Be creative but please keep that in mind!

Subject Matter:
Submissions for Mainstreet will not be accepted if they feature violence or disturbing actions. Only photographs will be accepted.

What will we be expecting? Creativity and change-of-season based photos: melting snow, muddy fields, monsoons, - you get the idea.

Deadline: March 21, 2005

How to post it here:
Add your image after the last one that has been already posted. Don't forget to write its title and your user name. For example:

1. "Title" - [insert user name]

Note:
Two Photographs will be chosen by the Council and the Assembly among all those presented.
The winners will receive the colored badge and the participants will receive the green version of it:

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: Ladies and gentlemen... please keep in mind that this is a themed contest and that any photograph that does not fit the given theme will be removed. The theme for this contest is Change of Seasons not Seasons or 'I like this picture'. Please review your entries appropriately or I will remove them. Thank you.

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: Oh yes... one more thing...

NO PHOTOMANIPULATIONS!!

Anything suspected of being manipulated shall be disqualified. This includes adding light bursts.

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: [01234] please explain how "Mount Jefferson" is a good example of changing seasons or it will be removed.

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: [imsdal] please explain how "Seven days in the sun" is a good example of changing seasons or it will be removed.

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: [FudgeStix] please explain how "Tree Spirit" is a good example of changing seasons or it will be removed.

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: [fade_out] and [a clockwork orange] again, please explain how your individual entries both called "Nameless" suit the theme of this contest or I will remove them.

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]:

Please be advised

that entries 81, 84, 85, 90 & 92 will be removed unless the owners can explain how each photograph fits the contest theme.

2005-03-05 [01234]: It is springtime in Oregon, the winter snowmelt was coming off the mountain and everything was getting green... how is that not changing seasons?

2005-03-05 [a clockwork orange]: Sorry, for not responding sooner, but I had logged out. So, first of all it was taken in November, when most of birds have flight away. And the most seen birds are pigeons. So, it shows the change from summeer to autumn.

2005-03-05 [imsdal]: nnoooooou! ^^' don't delete my entry! I changed it! ^^'' winter to spring, is that okay?

2005-03-05 [Yuriona]: That's all I needed ladies thank you. ^^

2005-03-06 [Erestor]: I think my two entries follow the rules, feel free to say if they don't...

2005-03-06 [idyllicday]: my picture i put on here is gone....

2005-03-06 [idyllicday]: nevermind ^_^

2005-03-06 [Yuriona]: Could you please explain how your first photo represents the them Change of Seasons please [idyllicday]??

2005-03-06 [Sekosen]: Yay! First time I got it to work!

2005-03-06 [Yuriona]: Upload the photo to your house then add it to this page using the img tag. <*img:http:filelocation/filename.jpg*> though without the asterisks. To get the file location once it's uploaded to ET, right click on the image and select properties from the pop up menu. Highlight the address it gives you then right click to copy it. Paste it to this page using the format explained previously. If you need help, I can post it for you.

2005-03-07 [FireGypsy]: lol #81 was edited in photoshop! There is definately not enough sun showing to have gleams like that, in perfect circles. Lol its clearly obvious!

2005-03-07 [Yuriona]: I believe that the sun is acually up above the boat in the photograph so it would leave light like that on the water. The white you see in the distance is part of the shoreline and the sun reflecting off of the surf there.

2005-03-07 [Yuriona]: [ArchangelGabriel] could you please explain how your entry suits the theme Change of Seasons?

2005-03-07 [ArchangelGabriel]: hmmm.... I thoghut it summed up the australian summer, spring and autum rather well

2005-03-07 [Yuriona]: Just tell me how (since I live in Canada) and things will be good. :D

2005-03-07 [fade_out]: *dances*

2005-03-07 [Yuriona]: [SashaShy] unless you can provide me with an explanation of how 'green paradise' is an example of the changing seasons I will remove it... AGAIN.

2005-03-07 [Yuriona]: [Apus] your photos are lovely but how do they fit the contest theme??

2005-03-08 [Apus]: Well the Kykkos Mountains are in Cyprus and their summers usually involve intense heat and cloudless sky...rain is a rarety for Cyprus in general!

2005-03-08 [Yuriona]: Ah I see. ^^ That explains that photo.. what about "Les Alpes"?

2005-03-08 [Apus]: The snow on the Alpes are melting in the spring sun!

2005-03-08 [Yuriona]: *squints* They are?? And that means...?

2005-03-08 [Apus]: It was spring when I took that, my bad!

2005-03-08 [Yuriona]: What kind of airplane were you in?

2005-03-08 [Apus]: It was Ryan Air!

2005-03-08 [ArchangelGabriel]: My picture represnts Australia between the spring a nad autum - There is no change

2005-03-09 [DawnUnicorn]: :( does anyone know where my pic has gone? its not as if it didnt fit the theme!

2005-03-20 [imsdal]: I cant make a change on this page, due to password. therefore I've merely added a new entry at page 5. Please remove my "summer gleams on winter sea", nr. 81.
