Next months challenge!

Well I said that I would keep this challenge going so I am going to give it a try. I will only promise another 3 months after that I am not sure that I can do it any longer. I am leaving for Africa in January tentatively on the 29th and will be gone for 6 months God willing. So I may not be able to finish out the month of Jan. as I will be very busy with finalizing all of the details of the trip. I am not sure what I will do but I think I am going to find someone to run the challenge for me while I am gone. Who knows maybe I will have time to enter it while I am gone. I have decided that the challenge needs more competitors to make the challenge more interesting. So I am opening the challenge to those who shoot with any digital camera. I would like to keep the point and shoot images separate from the DSLR images. So those of you who use a DSLR will need to title your images as follows for each month November_DSLR_Wildlife if you are a point and shoot then you will need to title your images November_P&S_ Wildlife. November is the month of the Challenge, DSLR and P&S are the type of camera you use and Wildlife would be that months category. So for the month of November the challenge is Round. There you have it let me see your best rendition of Round. No stipulations other than it has to be shot between the 1st and the 20th of November.

Aplogies and Promises

I promise I will keep the challenge going if the person who commented anonymously will promise to continue to follow the blog and comment about the images. After reading my first response to their comments I realize that I came across a bit condescending and did not intend to. One thing I hate about the written word is that it often comes across harsh. It is often taken the wrong way, a voice fluctuates when a person speaks and adds life to the word said that a pen and paper often steal leaving the message cold and hard. I apologize for not reading my post before posting or maybe I could have tried to make myself not sound so cold.

I appreciate that you take the time to follow the challenge and that you are close to two of the challenge participants. I did not mean to imply that I want you to stop commenting on the challenge, please do not. It is encouraging to see that people are following the challenge who are not participants. So feel free to comment in the future if the challenge continues to exist. I will make a decision soon as to the future of the challenge.

Anonymous Response to last post

So I had 2 quick responses from the 2 photographers who are here each month submitting images for the challenge and I have added their responses to the end of the post for all to read. I have also received an anonymous response from someone who is very familiar to the workings of the challenge who feels it is imperative that the challenge continue. I am wondering why this is so important to them if they are not ones who participate on a regular basis. Please no anonymous responses to my last post. If the blog is important to you I would like you to share your identity otherwise your comment does not hold much sway in my decision to concerning the future of the challenge. If you would like make yourself known I will post your response along with the others.
