Photo Tourny- Bokeh

**vroom_skies** · 06-28-2008, 04:08 AM

Alright guys & gals, the new tourny is Bokeh. Bokeh is what is out of focus behind the subject. Now the bokeh has to be produced by an unaltered lens only, no photo shop or "bokeh filters". Hopefully that all made sense.

Here is a link to Wikipedia for more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh

Rules:
Playing this tournament is simple:

A tournament involves 10 different members max.
The winner of the last tournament will give a theme, and those who want to participate will post their pictures (only one per person). Please, No more than ten participants total.

When all participants have entered their picture in the tournament (please submit a link along with your picture), I will then create another thread to vote on the pictures via a poll.

New Rules:
- Absolutely no voting for your own photo.
- No spot saving; you will only be counted if you have a picture submitted.
- Only one picture may be posted at a time, if you decide to change it, please edit the original post.
- No posting an image that has previously won a competition.

So in brief:
- Users who wish to participate please post your image within this thread followed by a link to the image source.
- After ten participants have entered the tournament, a second thread will be made with a poll to vote on the pictures.
- If entering a slightly computer manipulated photo, please post the original along with it so users who are voting can see the difference.

Winners will simply be the one who gets the most votes. He/she will then create another thread in which they propose a different theme for the next tournament.

Please resize your pictures to no larger than 800 x 600
This tournament will have 5 days of voting.

You are permitted to change your image but if you could just change the URL in your original post and leave an edited comment with it.

Here is my entry:

Lets see them,

Haha, I told myself I would get me a pretty new camera if I won a couple of these contests. Would Probably help if I entered more often, anyway, I call it 'resistors'.
