Weekly Challenge 174 - Cornucopia
Posted By: Rense, 07-24-2011, 03:50 AM

It's getting harder and harder to come up with a decent theme for these weekly
challenges, but the bright sight of hosting it is that you won't have to decide on
next weeks challenge...

This weeks theme will be "CORNUCOPIA", or horn of plenty. If you don't
want to judge next week (let alone think about a new challenge), you should enter
a literal horn of plenty, like you'll find plenty (sorry) if you google it (HoP).
What I am looking at are photos where the subject is abundantly present.
Many oranges, a field of flowers, a heap of building materials, a huge crowd.... you name it!

Entries will be accepted through next Sunday (31st July) at midnight your time.


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 (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Urban density - how many different buildings can you see in this shot? Or better yet, how many windows?
