tresamie and I tied on the Summer challenge so we got to choose the challenge for September. We both liked the idea of the Colors of Autumn, and we hope you all do too.

2D, 3D, photographs, prose/poetry--there's no limitations other than your imagination (and the usual Renderosity rules). Post your creation on this thread. Everyone in the community is welcome to join in. Winner gets to choose the next month's theme.

Have fun!!

I happily saw your thread in the Photoshop Forum and thought I would post an image. I had just started this image, so it was a very timely theme you chose.

Well, I just made my move and finally have a computer to work with. And it just so happens that I just finished a piece two days ago that fit's this theme! It's great to be rendering again (I was going into withdrawl......)

Here's my entry. Good Luck all!

Very nice.My turn. I've never seen a full fledged turning of the leaves. Southern California trees, most of them, don't change colore.

yea that is what I missed when I lived in Ontario Ca for 14 years I was born here in Ohio and I love the trees changing colors. They are starting already and it isn't even Oct. yet.

Quote - what are the rules? only one picture each? must they be made especially for this challenge? must they be new? new here.

We prefer that the images are made specifically for the challenge - kind of the point, to challenge yourself to meet the theme.

As for the number of entries - you can enter as often as you like, but when it comes to voting, we ask that each person vote for the image - not the artist. So, you might actually wind up being your own worst competition. There have been a number of times where someone has come in third and fifth places. Had they done one image, they might have come in first.

However, it isn’t winning that I count as the main objective. Learning and pushing yourself to create new images and inspired works is the real challenge and benefit of the forum. If you’ve entered, you’re already a winner in my book. There is the honor of being able to set the theme for the following month’s challenge though, that’s kind of cool. See what everyone else does with your concept or idea.

as autumn is my favourite season i love to see all these interpretations. some time ago i made a little 'graphic poem' and i know i deminish my chances but i actually don't care if i win, i post it here anyway as it means that there is also something in the 'writing' department.

Wonderful Koosie, the image is such a great background to your poem too.
