July09 comp " An orange " Closed
      #801569 - 16/06/2009 11:57

July - "An orange" - just add boiling brain

How do you treat an orange? Do you drop it in a tank of goldfish to create a splash of saturated fireball on blue? Or do you idolise it as Edward Weston did with those peppers? Balance it on a stick, ice it in the freezer or suspend it from the moon. You'll all start from the same place - an orange - so winning is about what you put in to make what's common unique.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Images must not exceed 600 pixels x 600 pixels

3. File sizes must be under 100kb (102,400 bytes) – right click on your image then Properties to check the image and file size are correct before and after posting.

IMAGES THAT DON’T CONFORM TO THESE RULES WILL BE DELETED! Do not post TWICE in the comp - ask a moderator to correct or alter your original entry if you are having a problem.

7. One entry only per person is allowed. If you need to change it, please contact a moderator with new URL and reason why. Note: bear in mind that changes to the monthly comp are not continuous and should be used only as a last resort.

8. If you don't have a resizing program, Download this FREE program (Pixresizer) --- See my visual on how to use it

If you want comments on your work, or you want to comment on other members work, please post in the Comments thread provided.

Good luck!

PS. If you're new to embedding images in forums and you're having problems, don't forget you have approx. ONE HOUR to try something else - if at the end of that time you’re still having a problem, contact a moderator.

PPS. If you need help with resizing images etc, then PM a moderator with details of the image manipulation program you're using (if you have one) and they’ll get back to you a.s.a.p. Note: there are free programs you can use in the ‘Posting Images – Maximum Sizes etc’ sticky.

I hope nobody minds, but for the purposes of scale, I had to use satsumas rather than oranges. Just in case somebody notices. and a truck load of duct tape.
