Weekly Challenge #583 - Freckled, Speckled, Spotted and Dotted
Posted By: noelcmn, 07-03-2022, 08:24 AM

Welcome to Weekly Challenge #583. Thanks to Tom (Ramseybuckeye) for the last challenge, and for choosing my image as the winner. I hosted another challenge a few weeks ago, on a Pentax UK Forum, and this was the theme I chose for that, and I'm gonna do the same here on PF. That produced some interesting submissions, and I am sure it will be equally interesting here on PF. Besides human freckles, and polka dots, there is plant matter and animal spots, speckled eggs, and human creations too! Good luck, I look forward to your submissions.

The fine print:

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

The Challenge will run until midnight Sunday 10 July 2022 SAST. Judging will happen on Monday morning. which does allow a few extra hours after midnight SAST. Let see what you have. Good luck!

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
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.

He is very protective of his chair and will let you know if something is blocking him from taking his seat at the table!

Thank you all for your excellent submissions. I'm retiring as the judge of this challenge- way over my league to be judging this one- even though I expected it! Only kidding of course, but PHEW and PHEW again. How difficult is this going to be!
Yaki, of course that countsssss...
