Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

There doesn't seem to be too many options that I see off hand for photo travel locations?

I'm a bit confused by the use of the word tone here. Since it is coupled with monochrome - I assume what is meant is B&W. However could, in the case, could also mean 'retro feeling' or 'low saturation of color'.... at least to me.

But before I submit something I want to make sure I have the right editing done. I see only one photo with color submitted so I'm trying to determine what 'tone' is actually supposed to mean.
 
Well, i can make my entry more sepia-like... but its tones are "retro" enough IMO :S

I would like some clarification...since it's a 2.0 rules, I don't see why to restrict the shot that we shoot in GT5 to be in any particular mode because we can monochromatic/sepia/b&w-it after.
 
Final Entry



(This is my entry for now, I might change it later.)​
 
^ Dark, that is really cool but I think it's not allowed (the old frame thing).. I was to do the same thing but as we can't add nothing to the image from outside the original shot I didn't :S

entry changed... had an old shot that was against the restrictions :)

I would appreciate if someone told me if my shot is fine, most people here seem to just do black and white with sepia color. :indiff:
