July's Photo Challenge - 'Open'

[Culhwch]

Alright, it's been a week now since June left us behind, shivering or sweltering as the case may be, so I'll post up July's photo challenge...

OPEN​

The usual rules apply:

​

​

- Only two photographs per participant.
- Try not to use photographs already posted around the site.
- Voting starts around the 27th.
- Even those who don't enter a photograph can still vote in the poll.

...but there's a newy:

- The winner must post a new challenge within a reasonable timeframe (to be established by popular opinion, suggestions below).

sweet! I've got a lovely new photo of my dog Jenna:

 

[Wybren]

Awww Jemma reminds me of my old dog Bop - except Bop was more black than blue and was more rotund.

 

[JDP]

Sorry, is 'open' the theme, or is the competition open?

 

[BookStop]

Both, JDP

Jen is pretty rotund, Wy - I think the angle is accentuating her head more than her lovely round tummy

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

I'm really hoping to get some time this month to take some photos. Hopefully I'll have a couple submissions this month.

 

[Foxbat]

Here's one from me.

Dead branches are always so spooky - I love it.

 

[Pyar]

Here's two from me:
(btw how do i put pictures in so they are the full size? cause I have just been putting them into an album but that shrinks them)

Lonely at the Beach

Concrete Tower

 

[Wybren]

Pyar, try using somewhere like Photo bucket or Flickr.

Some good photos so far!

 

[Majimaune]

This is all I've got at the moment... I took it for my major works that I'm doing right now but I doubt I'll use it for that.
And yes, my handwriting is messy.

 

[BookStop]

At least it's readable, Geoff

Here's another from me - Faux-Hawk

 

[Rodders]

That Tower's interesting Pyar. What is it?

 

[Deathpool]

These are some good photos so far. Now if I look at the photos every day maybe this time I'll come up with a stale mate. Oops! I just realized that I'm supposed to avoid stale mate and choose.

 

[Erin99]

Bookstop, that dog shot is amazing! I am jealous. I'd love to get an arty-looking low key shot of a pet (not that I have any pets, mind).

 

[Lioness]

That second one looks almost fairytale, Leish. It's pretty cool.

I've finally decided mine...though really they could conform to a tree theme. Open themes leave me too much indecision. So I was rough on myself.

Here they are:

 

[Culhwch]

Okay, my first effort:

 

[Rinman]

Give this a shot. Near our old trailerpark here in Manitoba, Canada.

 

[Pyar]

That Tower's interesting Pyar. What is it?

I have no idea. I just saw it when I went hiking with my friends one time and had to take a picture of it cause it looked so unusual. Your guess is as good is mine as to what its for.
