This salon will close at midnight GMT on Tuesday 15th November.

The reason for the extra days is that I am going on holiday and as Roger didn't select a second and third winner, I have decided to curate the next salon.

There are many subjects that I could suggest, that really would be a challenge, but I fear that interest in the salon has been lost recently and could not decide whether it was not challenging enough, or whether people just can't be bothered any more.

I shall be looking for a focus on Autumn Colours. It can be anything not just leaves.

The rules are as follows:

1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/. They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon thread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixels wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.
2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.
3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as links to an image held somewhere else)
4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.
5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.
6. The curator's decision is final.
7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.
8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.
9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.
10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.
11. Please donīt be shy and put yourself to work. It is all about having FUN.

Took this today going over the Ouse Valley Viaduct on a train which you can see as a shadow. A different perspective I think and lots of autumnal colours!

Here's my pic. Sorry about the sabbatical, I was supposed to undergo cataract surgery, but the operation was postponed.

It's amazing what you can find in a kids playground if you really open your eyes. I had a bunch of kids asking me what I was doing and I told them I was looking for treasure ...

Thank you all for pulling the stops out and submitting such wonderful and interesting entries.

As usual it has been a difficult task and I struggled with the final result. It was only after I had seen the entry enlarged that I realised how many autumn colours were there.

In FIRST place I have chosen Kurt's England in Autumn

In SECOND place Gina's "In your face" Beech leaves and

THIRD is Olypaul with the single leaf on a black background.

Over to you Kurt, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us.

Yes congratulations to Kurt for his beautiful photo of the Dorset country side a sure winner. Also I liked Gina's photo of the Colourful beech leaves and certainly deserved second place. Now I thought this photo of the single leave with the black background would win, it was a very nice composition and jumped out of the page. there was some very good photo's entered. I look forward to the next competition. Regards John.

Thankyou very much indeed, Autumn. There are some great entries entered for this salon. I hope I can come up with a subject that inspires as many entries. Congratulations to all who entered, it is great to see so many enthusiastic photographers on the DPNow site and I must say that I enjoy seeing all their entries.

Now . . . deep thoughts . . .

I will try to come up with a new subject before the end of the day.
