Weekly Challenge - 182 Boundaries
Posted By: mde1970, 10-12-2011, 11:59 AM

So it was a bit of a surprise to find myself the winner of last week’s competition and find myself having to quickly think up new challenge. Each time I thought of a subject and checked the list I found it had already been a past challenge.
Anyway finally I decided that 'boundaries' would be this week’s challenge and don’t think it’s been done before. Very much open to Interpretation so feel free to 'push the boundaries' (sorry could not resist).

This runs for a week, so let's say the entries should be posted by Wednesday, 19 Oct (midnight, your time zone).


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.

And the final rule...have fun with this.

I guess I start...

Actually, I don't, because that one was with my Canon. Idiot. I'll try again...

The worst kind of boundary, though often necessary!

Lots of boundaries: Land and Water, Water/Land and Air, even Earth and Sun:

If I could vote, it'd be for Tamia's entry. The dual boundaries between shadow and light (one at the water's bulging edge, being abrupt and three dimensional, and the second, much more gradual boundary from the bright centre and fading outward) make this dynamic shot jump-out and float just beneath the surface simultaneously.

Good Stuff!

wow some great shots. I'll keep thoughts about individual shots to myself, but already looks like it will be difficult to judge.
