*****The die is cast***** Theme announcement for March

[Mira]

I just unhinged the thread from the top that asked for votes on 5 theme suggestions.
The top vote getter was

"A photographer's favorite"

The idea behind it is a photo that has been a favorite of yours, or chrystalizes to be the favorite of a current photo shoot, something you love and want to show.
I came to the idea because my photo that won for "I see Music" has been such a favorite ever since I took it, and it occurred to me we all have a few of those tucked away in our files, or our minds.

Since the chance of this photo coming from your files is quite high, maybe the 2 full weeks shooting schedule is not necessary, but I want to announce the theme here tonight, and when I know the schedule of the Winter Seasonal that will be announced tomorrow I will follow up with an exact schedule for the March contest.

Photos will be the size of 800 for the longest side, and no more than 300 kb overall.
Other than that there are no restrictions of any kind.
I will even accept frames, and not balk on photo shopping or manipulation of any kind.
The idea is for you to show us something you find beautiful, or love, for whatever reason.

Give it a title of your choosing, I think it would be fine if it is personal in description or history or why you like it.

This will be a blind submission - you send the photo to me in the proper size in a pm, and I will post it in the contest. I will be the only person who knows whose photos they are, and I will, when it is all over, reveal every single originator in a separate thread in the photo forum.

So without further ado, remember your favorite and find it, or create it.

2. Good idea.

The problem is I have so many favorites, it'll be like choosing which of my children I love the most.

3. Sounds great!

I think that you are correct, submissions will probably be lightning quick to reach the 30 limit with these most likely be from archives...

Competition will be fierce this month for sure!

Good luck everyone; thanks for hosting!

See what I can see.

Thank you.

6. Making people dig are ya....

Good theme but bet becomes one of the hardest to vote in. You know both contest can run at the same time as most should already have winter pics, part of the nice thing about having it near the end of the season and well people should know what their favorites are already. Though I can see a problem for each to decide which favorite to enter.
