Weekly Challenge #156 - Hope
Posted By: Iris, 01-02-2011, 01:43 PM

Weekly Challenge #156 - Hope

It's this time of year, when the days are short and the weather is often grey, I always have melancholy feelings.
Especially this time, the new year brings a lot of uncertainty.

That's why I want to see pictures that express hope!
So this week it’s all about capturing this specific mood!
It can be anything: a person, a landscape, an object, it doesn’t matter as long as it gives me hope!
Be creative, perhaps you have to explain why it express hope! Good luck and have fun!!


Challenge ends on Sunday, January 9 at midnight!

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

Hope in the Hereafter.

My entry, with a rather subliminal message of Hope.

Oh, geez...with a start like that (and the ones to follow) there's no point in my playing!

Here's a little entry anyway...
First day of school is always full of hope and fresh starts:

I think somebody just stole the show (at the risk of encouraging bias in the judging).

Ah! Too kind, thank you! Of course, I'm rather partial to the shot myself...but am a bit biased for obvious reasons.
