Alrighty Then! After a brief straightening out of the rules I would like this to be a clean competition round number 6. The official title for this round is "Keep It Simple". As usual feel free to let the creative side of you out while staying within subject title and constraints. I will be accepting entries via pm until next Friday, June 15, 2012 at 9 pm PT time North America. The poll will go up some time that night so as long as I get your entries before I do that and you meet all the requirements, you're good to enter.

Like all other rounds, please send the entry fee of 2,500 tokenz to Siphorous. If you'd like to enter but don't have the required tokenz, I'm sure we can make arrangements for you so please PM Me as I am busy lately but get PM and not wall posts sent to me and will log on to assist.

A reminder of the rules, which I will try to stick to when reviewing your pictures.

For clarity, minimal photoshopping is the amount of things done to a picture that is considered 'minimal' - however the effect on the picture for both color and black and white pictures should be as explained.

Photoshopping = the use of any program to alter a photo as or after it has been taken. Be it Photoshop, GIMP, Photoscape, iPhoto, Photoid and so on and so on. Please do not abuse Picture aid programs in any sense.

That being said, we know this is competitive, and everyone tries to get an edge but lets play fair.


*** NOTE: "Keep It Simple" is limited to three items maximum in the frame. That 3 items in the frame, so a cloud and the sky are two items and a plane would make 3. Make sure you add up correctly or I will ask you to re-submit. Two clouds are two clouds as each is considered an item.. Clear enough ? Hence keep it simple..

Have some great Fun At Photography!

I don't think the sky should count as an item. I would count that as part of the background and the background shouldn't be considered an item in the photo.

Simply put the background is a photographic item. It is part of the picture.. It can be multi color or single color..

lol, the contest is called "Keep it simple" but the rules have the potential to be the most contentious and complicated ever.

as with any photographic contest here the rules and subject matter are determined by the host...setting the rules is the only thing they get for the time consuming hassle they get for hosting one of these

so bear that in mind;)

For some who may be missing the point here are a few examples of what can be used as a single item and what can't..

This bunch of grapes is a Single Item as they are still on the Vine and all together as ONE item.

This bunch of Apples would count as 9 because they are all separate..

This would definitely be acceptable as a picture and usually is a standard in photography for flower picture taking..

When one has a certain guideline to work with, we do our best.. I could post much more but would ruin the many possible ideas for others who may already have pictures in mind.

Please try to think outside of your comfort zone and try new avenues of photography you may never have tried.. This is the fun of the contest..

Just to clarify - in the fruit pictures, the background counts too, right - even though it is white? i.e. the grapes shot has 2 items (ignoring the watermark) and the apples shot has 10?

Going through my pictures now! :)

Oh - and would grass count as one item? Since the blades are all connected through the root system in the ground? :p

If I have a picture that involves a bush, does each leaf count as an item or it is just 'a bush' singular? :(
