******Minichallenge 354: Infants and Toddlers**********

Our winner of last challenge, panorama, is unable to host this challenge, so as runner up, I will be happy to host this challenge.  This will be my 3rd hosting as runner up, which leads me to post a new rule at the top of all rules.

​If you wish to participate in the challenge, but unable to host the next one for any reason (time, health etc), we are very interested in seeing your images.  However, please flag your post as for display only.  as such, your image does not qualify for a top 3 honors.  if your image is picked as the winner, you are expected to host the next challenge, emergencies excluded of course.

​Now on to challenge.  I often pick topics that hit close to home, and given I  had my second child recently, and thats all I shoot these days, very interested to see your images of children and toddlers, say up to age 6.  these can be candids, studio type shots, etc.

Challenge will end on Tuesday 1/29/13 8 pm pst.  winners will be posted the next day.

I'm really looking forward to your entries!

The regular rules apply.

The host gives you a topic of interest. You post a maximum of three images. Any picture you've taken is eligible regardless of time taken and camera.

You can do all the post processing you want. However, it is most helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo (because we like to know).

Feel free to comment on other contestant’s images. If you want people to give you constructive criticism, ask for C&C.

The host chooses the winner. The host's decision is final. The host is not eligible.

The winner then hosts the next challenge, judges the winner, and passes on the baton to that person. The winner has 48 hours to post the new challenge. If that doesn't happen 2nd place has 24 hours to do so, and if that doesn't happen it's up to the 3rd place winner.

Posting Guidelines

When posting your picture, change the Subject of your post to display your picture titles and/or your name. This way, when someone replies it will refer specifically to you. If all entries read "Re: * Mini-Challenge xxx - ... " it would be very boring to scan the list.

Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).

You may enter up to 3 pictures, but put them in a single post. Please give a title to each photo, this makes it easier to differentiate when giving comments.

Please size your photo no bigger than around 1200 pixels on the longest dimension. This is to let those with smaller monitors to see your image at full resolution. Please limit the file size of your entries to conserve bandwidth.

As a show of courtesy, and to save bandwidth, please remove the original post when replying, so you don't bring back any previous photos.
