Challenge #197-Happy Together
Posted By: Jools, 03-07-2012, 09:42 AM

After listening to a series of 60s songs while grilling out for the first time this year (we had an unseasonably warm day), I got to thinking about things that are happy together.
It could be a couple in a loving embrace/gesture, things that complement each other in our daily lives, or concepts that go with one another.
Really the interpretation is up to you. Just an image that creatively portrays/emotes being happy together.

Have fun!
This competition is open from now until midnight on Tuesday March 13, 2012.


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.

I don't have anything in the cute kid genre so I'll go with babies happy to be with their mothers.
