Rules of Engagement:
1. Image must have been taken during December, or thereabouts, eg if you took a shot towards the end of last month, but didn't have time to enter it in last month's competition, then that's fine(I just want to encourage people to "get out and get shooting", and not to just submit historic work).
2. Only one entry per person per month please, but feel free to change an already entered photo if you happen to take a better one as the month progresses.
3. No theme
4. Please change the title of your post to reflect your image name (it makes it much easier for people to refer to your image that way

We had a bit of a discussion about this in another place, so, to get the December ball rolling, I'll pop it in here and let the will of the people prevail.
So:-
- We'll run it up the flag pole and see who salutes
- Stick it to the wall
- Throw it in the pot and see if it boils

Explain this technique, please. Does it require a specialized software program?

Re: Image 08: Empty Chair.
You really need to apply some of your B&W skills to Train 9 on your flicker site...that piece of work really lends itself to a monochomatic finish.

Gosh I hope this works..... Trying to get B&W to look "right" for web and projection - it's so different from printing. Please C&C
Regards,
Nick.

We tend to stay away from C & C in this competition thread until voting takes place - in this case at the beginning of January, by which time people have forgotten to post up their C & C.
So, there's no rule against popping it in here, but also duplicating it somewhere else for the purposes of C & C.Last edited by Donald; 14th December 2010 at 02:28 PM.
