wow! what a great response to May's Challenge, Reflections/Refractions!!
with an all time record of 106 entries!! ...atm
Thank you to everyone who participated!

if you haven't taken the time to look, here's the link,
(same as what's in the photo banner box at the top of the page)
*Please note! the NEW THUMBNAIL SIZE!
100 WIDE X 80 TALL exactly!!
to fit new challenge page format (update made to challenge tutorial here)

After reviewing the excellent discussion posted recently on "Lack of Comments!"

We have decided to make a few CHANGES to the CHALLENGE
*entries will now be limited to 2 entries !
so make them count, explore, think & decide on your best ones :]
quality vs. quantity! :D

If you noticed we had a banner in the photo gallery header to highlight the Challenge, this has been replaced to now highlight the Last Week in the Gallery (LWitG) which we'll be showcasing soon! We do believe this will cut down on wading through challenge posts & the "hit&runs"

The majority would still like to pick the topic & post for discussion
*if you specifically want critique on your entry ASK for it
suggestions for new themes will be considered

Here are the TOPICS to pick from:

1. Song titles (please keep in mind not to post full lyrics)
2. Antiques/nostalgic moods
3. Exploring the 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, touch & taste)
4. Working (wo)man/industrial
5. Monochromatic (one color + b&w)
6. Still Life
7. Self-Portraiture
8. Alphabet Soup (find objects that are shaped or represent a letter in the English alphabet without using signs or text!)
