Please be sure to read the rules before posting your contributions! Muchos gracias folks.

Theme #1: "I'm Thankful For..."
Lets see what everyone is thankful for this holiday season!

Theme #2: "A Change of Seasons"
A Nice shot depicting, in any way, the change of seasons.

Rules:

• Photo must be taken within the given month. This is because the purpose of the assignments is to get people out and about taking new pictures, not digging through previous shots.
• Photo must be your own work
• Please only submit ONE photo per assignment
• If possible please post all the photo info such as lens, f/ stop, shutter speed, etc.
• All photos are open to C&C unless otherwise noted by poster

Ending Date: October 31st
This isn't a competition, just a themed assignment for those who wish to participate. The only reason there is a due date is to keep the thread from going on and on. Feel free to PM me with options for other themes.
Constructive Criticism
The point of limiting criticism to Constructive Criticism to to keep people from just going "wow, your photo sucks" without offering a means for improvement. You could go "The composition just isn't doing it for me, maybe try moving the subjects face to the left a few inches." It would also nice and helps people receive CC better if you balance a negative with a positive such as "Well the lighting is nice, but the composition just isn't doing it for me, maybe try moving the subjects face to the left a few inches." or "I like the composition overall, but the busy background distracts me from the subject's face.'

 

Cool. These sound like good ones.

 

So far (subject to change):



I saw this on my way to the urban metropolis of Wingo, CA (in Sonoma County)
It spoke to me, and that's where the poem came from.

not very good, had no light to work with, did the best i could in cs4. Probably go back when there's more light.

 

I think this covers both themes.... Im thankful my car is still(knock on wood) running good despite pushing it a bit, and the colors are pretty seasonal.

 

 

I'll get December's themes up in the next few days, been busy as hell with work, school, and family.
