Fortnightly Salon Competition No.4

Thank you so much for that last Salon Autumn!

A great competition, and imaginative theme. I am truly touched that you chose my shot as the winning entry.

I am not going to dissapoint those who think I am predictable!

The theme for the next challenge has been chosen to encapsulate my interests together with others, so please interpret the title as widely as you wish:

'The Living World'

So come on everyone, I would love to see some enteries from the newcomers to this forum, ten entries to beat!

Start submitting now, and the competition will close on the evening of the 16th November.
Here are the rules. Please take a moment to read them prior to shooting or uploading your submissions. Good luck

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.
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 a new theme by the new 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

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No.4

Ha! An interesting picture for the theme - should give Ben something to think about

And certainly not a rural scene from the Greek archipelago - my guess is that it's Cambridge, but it could be Oxford of course - I really ought to know!

Aha...Ian!
Not a Greek Archipelago this time

Yes, it is Cambridge! Inside King's College if I remember well and not being mistaken. That was my last trip before I left UK for good, after I graduated finally (a mature married student like me).

Excellent, yeah!
This is what I was hoping, a nice diverse take on the theme. I was concerned that people would feel like they had to enter just animals.

This is shaping up to be an interesting competition I have to say, some superb entries already! keep 'em coming everyone!

Here's my rather low key mono entry. Works for me, but may not be to everyone's taste

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No.4

Here is my entry:


"The Living World" is not always an easy one:


Salt Workers in Thailand


Although I do not have any photographs, women are also employed doing this work.

There are a couple more images here.
