Bubhub Photo Comp 12

[wattle]

Welcome to Bubhub Photo Comp 12

Congratulations to Charlen49 for winning the previous round. She has chosen the theme for this round:

:wizard:


CANDLELIGHT


Note - please take care when taking photos of candles with children nearby.

There are only 20 photos allowed in each competition unless otherwise stated in the thread.

Here are the PHOTO COMPETITION RULES.
1. You may only enter 1 photo.

2. The photo MUST be taken specifically for the competition. You cannot use one you already have.

3. Editing - you can crop your photo, and you can change it to either black & white or sepia. No other changes are allowed.

4. The winner can choose the theme for the following round and pm it to either TwoBlue or myself. We will then start up the thread.

Please note - if your entry doesn't comply with the rules, we'll remove it and pm you so you can fix it or submit another entry (if there's still any places available). I hope everyone feels this is fair.

The aim of the competition is to use your photographic skills. It is not a cute baby contest (although we all love cute babies), and kids don't need to be in the photo at all, it's about taking the best photo you can, something with a little 'wow factor'. When you're entering a photo or voting, see if it has these type of elements:
- is it in focus?
- does it relate to the theme?
- does it have good composition (ie does the subject have their legs cut off, or is too low in the picture etc)
- is the lighting good?
- is it creative?

If anyone has ideas/suggestions for the comp, please pm TwoBlue or myself as we want to make this as fun for everyone as possible. HAPPY SNAPPING.

They are actually the candles I made for his naming day. Each of his gaurdians light one and said a wish for him (there were 4) and then Me and DF light one each for our wish for him. I just stuck the letters on with with foam (cut the letters out - it was the foam with a sticky back that you get from craft places).
