Thank casil403 for choosing me to present the new topic.

And the new theme is: PASSION.

Feel free to present that feeling, not only in its classic form, but in different and creative way.
It may be love, hobby, relation, religion, desire, longing ... The style could be portrait, street, still life, conceptual or whatever you have in mind.
Good luck to all!

This competition is open from Sunday November 20 to Sunday November 27. On Monday - November 28, the winners will be pronounced.

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.

This film shot captures well the passion which my #2 son has for most pursuits. Pickup football in the front yard is no reason to take it easy; the man with the ball must be tackled!!! (Pentax ZX-5, Kodak Tri-X 400 for the curious.)

Thanks Svetlana for a great topic
Several years ago at the annual NY Botanical fall Japanese Chrysanthemum and Cultural show they had a demonstration of Japanese samurai sword fighting. As an ex-fencer, I was quite interested and after the demonstration I got to talk to several of the participants. All I talked to showed genuine dedication to the sport and a true passion to keep the traditional aspects alive. Here is one shot of the demonstration, showing the concentration and passion of the sport.
