RULES (PLEASE READ ALL OF THEM):
-Any interpretation of the theme that falls within Autophotog.com rules is welcome.

-One submission per contest.

-Images must be no larger than 800px in any direction. Links to larger images are allowed but you must have one that is under 800px for the poll. (This is so when we post the poll you can see each picture in its entirety without needed to scroll in any direction).

-All images must have a title. <---- DON'T FORGET!!!

-This week, minor cloning/touch up will be allowed however anything more than minor touch up (such as removing a major element of the photo) will not be allowed.

-Remember, the goal of these contests isn't to win, or a popularity contest... It's to get you out there shooting different things, trying different techniques and furthering your skills as a photographer. However, should you happen to win, your winning photo will be posted into the AutoPhotog Photo Contest Hall of Fame and bragging rights will be yours. You MUST have at least 10 posts & be a member for 3 days to join the contest and to vote.

-The winner of the contest has until Tuesday at 12pm CST to PM me with the new contest theme for the next weeks contest. If a PM is not received, I will then choose the theme of the next contest for them.

*Any photo that does not meet the above requirements will be left out of the poll.*
