i see incredible talent on ns and it'd be awesome to put that to use and compare it with a theme in mind. this is about expressing yourself and being creative through your photos, for example, if the theme is animals, you don't need to post a straight up picture of your cat, you can be creative as long as it either fits in the guidelines or you have a convincing argument that makes it fit.
so, for the first week, the judging will be collaborative, you can't vote for your own, and person with most votes wins and gets to pick the new topic. if that doesn't work, i'll just pick which one i like best ;)
Rules:
-you may post 2 photos max per topic
-your photo must relate somehow to the topic
-post your own photos please
-winner must post the last themes in the new thread
-no blatant slandering of photos, if you want to bitch out a photo, give a way in which it could be improved
this contest's theme will be Action, i'm starting with a broad category just to get this launched. so post any sick action shots you have or shots that show action about to happen, it doesn't need to just be a snapshot of something moving really fast, it can show potential energy or whatever you want
the contest ends on wednesday june 3rd, hopefully this can work out. this contest will work out if people take it somewhat seriously and if the winners come through on their end and create new topics. i think it has the potential to be awesome if people cooperate
also, just a note, when posting pics in a thread, the color tends to get drained out, before you judge a photo, click on the full size one so you can see the true colors
here's a feeble example of a form of action shot
ready...set...GO
