Well it looks like I am not going to be able to call a winner for August until some of you vote. I voted and Joe voted but I think that is it so far. There is no way to declare a winner as so far there are no images with more than 1 vote each. Therefor I am going to go ahead and decide a topic for this months theme. The winner will get to choose the next months competition. So if you have not voted get to it you slackers you. Sorry I guess I am a slacker as well, I did vote but I didn't make the time to go out and shoot in August so I am a slacker also. I Hope to not be a slacker in the coming months. O.K. the theme for the month of September is Music. Let your imagination bring music to your eyes and capture it with your camera. Wow that was hokey but I don't care.
Since we didn't have a lot of entries for last months artistic challenge I am going to once again post a 2nd challenge. I am going to do a different theme for the artistic challenge this month. September's artistic challenge theme is Self Portrait. So get out there and get a shot of yourself fix it up in Photoshop or whatever program you like and submit it to the challenge.
Remember above all else just have fun while learning about photography, that is the reason I started this challenge.

To Photoman I visit this site everymonth just to see the photos and interpretation of the themes for each contest. I find it interesting how each person has their own way of visualizing what they see and want to express through their camera.
That is where I would like to add a comment about the use of Photoshop to alter the photo taken.
I work in Photoshop daily in my business and altering photos is my job, I personally feel the use of this software takes away the personal touch and feel of the moment the photo was taken.
The challenge is finding the shot and the moment and grabbing it then, not altering it later.
Maybe a change in the themes might help, such as using natural lighting effects in nature, or textures used in everyday items or even just people.
I am not a photographer but I know what I want to see, and there is nothing more awesome than a photo straight from the lens and the mind of the one taking it. biplane@donet.com
