This month's challenge has 2 ingredients. First, the focus for the image should be a reflection. Thought it should be the main focus, it doesn't have to be the whole image, just a part of it. Second, rain should be involved in the image. Ideas: 1. The reflection of a tree in a rain-swept pond. 2. A warrior's face in his shield on a rainy battlefield. 3. A sodden gutter reflected in a hubcap after a hard rain. Luck, TRLee Remember, the contest now runs from the 15th to the 15th, so there's plenty of time.

Oof. Rain.. gasp i haven't even played with that yet... guess now is my chance. laughs. Nice challenge for me at least ;)

The doctor says I have way too much blood in my caffeine system.

Wow. If I can reinstall Bryce (lost the serial number D'oh!) and figure out how to do rain, I'll have to give this a shot... Sounds good!

Oops, just realized a typo. That second sentence of the challenge should read: "THOUGH it should be the main focus..." Not "Thought". I know how to sprll, really I do.. :{)

Hi. I just joined the Arena Challenge, and I'm curious, where/to whom do we submit our images to? Look forward to playing with ya'll.

dmcdado1, What I do is upload my image to the Challenge area in the galleries, then put a link here. I think you can link to your own website if you wish, but you'd have to ask GeorgeD about that.

Here's my March contest entry. Thanks to everyone involved for the contest area. What a great way to push one's skills and imagination into new areas. Now that I've played with rain some, I must admit that I probably won't choose to do a lot of rainy scenes... The attached file is the thumbnail... larger image in the contest area.

Okay I really like this challenge arena and plan to participate. Can I have some specifics? How long do we have to submit a picture? Who judges it? What does the winner get? Thanks for your help Shane

{I really like this challenge arena and plan to participate.} Cool! {Can I have some specifics?} CHeck the FAQs. Essentially anyone can issue a challenge of either a general or specific nature at any time. There is also a monthly challenge that is always general. With a general challenge, anyone can participate. With a specific challenge, you either target one person (i.e. the infamous Triangle Challenges), or a group of people or even a Team (as per the Team Challenges of, February, IIRC). Check the Archives for examples of these. { How long do we have to submit a picture? } Depends on the challenge. Some are very open ended (whenever it's finished), some are specific (by next Friday!) and the monthly ones are due on or before midnight on the last day of the month. {Who judges it?} Depends on the challenge - either the person issuing it or anyone visiting this forum. {What does the winner get?} Again depends on the challenge. For the monthly ones, the winner gets the right to issue the NEXT month's challenge, for example. Some challenges also net award graphics, and some have prizes, but most of the latter are done in the Contests forum not here.

Hope I did this right - it's the first time I've ever done a challenge. This was great fun, and a wonderful learning experience. Thanks!

Oh! I forgot to say that the image idea came from a Michael Parkes picture
