Weekly Challange #201 - Signs
Posted By: Oldschool, 04-08-2012, 05:46 PM

To quote the old song "Sign, sign, everywhere a sign". We see signs everyday in just about everything we do. Traffic signs, billboards, storefronts, etc. Show me your interpretation of signs. I'm sure there will be many great entries and I'll dread the judging process, but give me your best.

This competition is open from now until midnight EDT(Eastern Daylight Time) on Saturday April 14th 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.
