Okay, here is a rundown of the rules:
the subject is color. no limits.
the due date: august 10 (don’t want people to lose interest, but I have to give us film people a chance 😛 )
post editing - keep it low, the idea is to use your camera to create, not photoshop.
anyone can still join, post your entries in this thread whenever. the original thread is [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65045](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65045)
good luck!

That’s not what he said… he said a link on the old thread to this thread… not a link from this thread to the old.
Out of my curiousity… will someone make a battle page for this? That way we can see all the pretty colors together?
EDIT:
@Ruski, I meant a pretty little html page where all of them are displayed, w/o interuptions of the posts. I think it would just be nicer to show off some of these pictures.

(Isn’t that how battles usually go?)

yea a battle page would be best so users dont have to search through dozens of pages. Which all the spam is sure to lead to. Kinda like I did the gizmodo contest.

But the point of the battle is to improve your skills 😉 How does entering a photo from before the battle was thunk up help you improve?
I would understand if there was a prize involved or something, but I just don’t see the point
Nice picture though btw.

I agree with ruski,…long as he took the photo and it meets requirements, there really should be no problem of when. But that is just my .02.

Yeah, it’s not a big deal hehe. I was just asking, because that’s how I understood the battles to work. Friendly competition though hehe.
Edit:

But it’s fine if you guys want to exclude this battle hehe.

it can slide, since the photo was taken a day or so ago. But no photos from like a month ago or anything.
ruski: im not really sure about the big text, it’s fine if it doesn’t take away from the image, but if you want you can put a border with info on it. just a quick critique 😉

smaller text would work. like your name and date in the corner.
