* * * * * OCT COMPETITION THEME - SHAPE * * * * *

[CVP]

OK, here's the topic for this month...Shape

Forgive me if I wax lyrical for a moment. I had a number of themes kicking round in my head, the easy one for this time of year would have been "autumn" but I wanted to set a topic that can be interpreted in many different ways and styles.

It was really a toss up between "Shape" and "Texture" as both are ones that I think have a wide range of applications and interpretations but in the end I have plumped for Shape.

Please interpret this as widely as possible as a great shape can be anything from beautfully lit portraits highlighting the shape of a person, architectural details, landscapes to slow mo or even really high speed captures to freeze the motion of objects that we would not otherwise see.

I'll post up a new thread for official entries towards the end of the month. Deadline will be end of Tuesday 31 October and I will judge the morning of Weds 1 November and post the winner that morning.

Cheers all and best of luck

I think number 3 is best

[Iria]

nice subject, lets see what I have around here...









All together seem rather dull but the only connection they have is the appeal of the light on an object, or the curvy shapes of some elements in the pictures. Most of them have been unprocessed and may need a bit of "make up" Please do comment

Olf, number 3 is certainly the best one for this topic

[Mrs Fish]

Gosh, where to start, these are all archived ones (probably seen before)
This is such an open ended theme















Which hits the mark the most?

I eliminate you, for I am the eliminator, bwahahahahaaa!

Id go with a crop of the muddy water globule. Its a very interesting capture.

Thought I'd chuck a load of stuff on here - any advice on cropping, processing, choice...... will be gratefully received!

(Except for the 'comedy' shape no-one wants to see on their car......)

Cheers,
