Community Photo Challenge-Hometown[Amateurs ONLY]

Community Photo Challenge-Hometown[Beginners ONLY]

The theme for this week's challenge will be Hometown, suggested by Donna.

Select a photo that best represents "Hometown"
This could be something you love about where you live, either your hometown, home state, country....anything that shows your home.  It is your interpretation of "Hometown" or "Home"

Repeat from another post....

[Marie: "Examples; NYC, the city skyline at night.  or  Could be a seaside cottage, or country home.....  I recently was part of a photo challenge & was asked to suggest a theme.
This was mine "Home is where the Heart is"]

You may add something about why you chose this photo.
All entries must have a description of the photo, including when it was taken (the year) & where.   Anything that would be of interest to visitors checking out your image.

AGAIN....
Keep in mind when shooting or selecting a photo for the challenge;
1. The theme of this challenge
2. Presentation
3. Composition
4. Interest
5. Quality

ALSO.....
Please TRY visit all participants in both categories & leave comments on all those who have entered in this challenge.  Don't forget to leave your link on all comments.  Ü

A reminder....Vicki & I will be posting photos, but will not be considered in the challenge when judging.
Thank you all, again, for making the first challenge a great success & all your wonderful, encouraging comments left on this journal.  We all truly appreciate your support.  Ü

If you have any suggestions, you may leave them in the comment area or E-mail one or all of us.

Sounds like fun! Now, can we vote regarless of participation? In other words, if we don't play certain ones, cab we still vote on other participants? Thanks. -Missy

Ok, Marie.   Good choice.   I will be judging in this category, rather than participating.   Is that right?   (It's my preference)

Okay, I went back and read the voting instructions once more lol! Amateaurs are judged by the last three winners and professionals are judged by you guys.. lol!! Is that correct? -Missy

Since I'm not allowed in this area, I posted my comment in the "Advanced" comment board.  With the magazine-quality images I've seen from the so-called amateurs, it won't be long before they are at the front of the class.  Some of the best photos I've seen were from a 12 year old with a point & shoot.  Keep 'em coming. :-)

I'd like to enter "Winter Sunset" featured in my January 23, 2008, Journal (http://journals.aol.com/gryphondear/Gryphondears-Word-of-the-Day/). I have been writing my Word of the Day on and off for some time, and only recently discovered how to add photos.

I consider myself an amatuer photographer since I haven't had any lessons and my camera is not SLR. Helen

http://journals.aol.com/vbonalesmd/emresident/#Entry951  It's been a while since I've done much more than point and shoot so I think I still qualify as an amateur...

I know I am to late for the voting but I wanted to participate regardless. I'll be reading everyone else's entries over the weekend.
