Weekly Challenge 187 - ENGINE
Posted By: crewl1, 11-28-2011, 10:35 AM

Weekly Challenge 186 - ENGINE
Thanks to Free Soul for choosing me to present the new topic.

And the new theme is: ENGINE.

Interpret this any way you like, from the internal combustion device in our cars that get us around, to the energetic manager of the local food bank that keeps everyone motivated.
Mechanical or biological, if it is an engine or has an engine show us your interpretation.
Any story or explanation that helps show why the picture should be included is welcome, however I will attempt to keep the judging to the picture's merits primarily and the more obvious depiction of the theme the better.
Some examples off the top of my head: Reindeer (Santa's sleigh engines), Trains (of course), HEMI (oooooh), My Mom (who's isn't?)... does that help?
Any style is welcome. Good luck everyone!

This competition is open from Monday November 28 to Monday December 5. On Tuesday - December 6, the winners will be announced.

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.
