Photo Contest #99 - grit (November 6th)


NEW DEADLINE: November 8th (Sunday midnight)


Congratulations to touraccuracy for the win in the last round.

Your task for the next round is:

grit
  • one of those things that is mentioned city photos a lot, but doesn't really have a definition that I've found, but here goes: that grainy worn down texture of the urban fabric generally associated with North American cities that experienced donuting during the last half century. Grit adds to a city's character. It is somewhat historical, but in a worn manner, not an anesthetized Disney faux historicism, but the actual aging of the fabric, it tells us both of how things were and how bad things have gotten prior to the grips of new urbanism and rehabilitation taking hold

As almost always:
  • Send a PM to HomeInMyShoes with your entry
  • Entries must be in by November 9th(Friday) midnight
  • One entry per forumer, must be your own photo
  • Try not to enter a photo already entered in a previous contest
  • Your entry should work inside of the IMG tags (pbase is giving me some problems). If I have to rehost it will get resized to 800 in my freebie photobucket account.
  • Maximum size is 1024 x 1024
  • Include a photo title in your message if you have and want a title
  • Avoid over-photoshopping stuff. It's okay to do those adjustements like colour and balance and cropping you'd do if you were physically printing it, but no giraffes on an iceberg kind of thing. I'm not going to say no to an entry because of it. Voters can decide for themselves what's acceptable themselves.
  • First come first serve. If we reach the maximum 25 entries and yours is the 26th received, too bad. Unless there's a lot, in which case we might do a play-in preliminary round of images I think are less likely to actually win. Hey, someone needs to make a judgement call. If you don't like it, think of the rating systems in college athletics and how bad this could be.

I had some issues settling on one as well LSyd. Glad to know you're okay.

Only 7 entries so far. I'll give people some more time and I'll post Monday morning (the 9th).
