POM - June 2013 - "Dark"

Postby spankyham »

Can anyone rest the POM title away from from Jabber-the-Mod?

The theme this month is "Dark"

Looking forward to what we get served up this month. Entries close June 25th.

Rules
1) Most importantly, this is meant to be fun. Anyone taking this too seriously, or getting upset about who wins and why will be taken out back and given a thorough thrashing.
2) Entries should not contain any infringing, threatening, false, misleading, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory or pornographic content
3) It's got to be piccy's you've taken yourself
4) You can only enter one pic per contest
5) You can't vote for your own pic
6) Submit a version of your image 800Pixels wide. You can optionally submit a high res version as well. Please try and submit in JPG format.
7) You submit your image by sending me a PM with the link(s) to the image(s).
8.) Don't disclose the taker of any entry if you are sure of who took it - that includes your own image - but feel free to guess.
9) You can enter every month, but you can only use an image once - don't go submitting the same image in multiple POMs
10) You can use "in camera" techniques to enhance images but refrain from photoshopping. You can crop/resize images.
11) Stick to the theme
12) Winner picks next months theme

So remember rule 1, and get your entries in. I will post the entries as I receive them, and remember it is anonymous until we have a winner.

You don't need to photoshop to take a picture of a back cat in a coal cellar or a polar bear in a snow storm :D
