DP Now Salon Competition No 121 - Contra-Jour
 
DP Now Salon Competition No 121 - Contra Jour

The challenge this time is "Contra-Jour''. We had this subject some years ago, so I thought it could do with another airing. It was called "Shooting towards the Sun" on that occasion.

For guidance here is a Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contre-jour

This Salon will end at Midnight on 21 April, 2012.

The rules, as usual:

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 tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel 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 a 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 curators 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.

Six entries in a week. It's not good enough to say how many members we have.

Thanks anyway to the six who have submitted - they are all interesting images.

Haven't heard from Pedar lately - is he OK? He used to send entries quite frequently.

I know we have 6 days left - come on members, let's make it a bumber salon this time.

Even Ian and Julia have no excuse, we aren't going to win a prize now. *LOL

Sad to report Peder passed away last November.

a nice shot, Caz.
The player must have a look of deep concentration.

So you are continuously shooting the musicians? That must be challenging.
