Show us your best portrait shot taken with a NEX camera. Any lens will do. Just make sure it's a NEX body. I'm not looking for snapshots. I'd prefer to see the good stuff that was planed, executed and PP'd to perfection. You can enter 2, but they must be of different people or animals. No water marks.

Show us your best portrait shot taken with a M4/3's camera. Because you can use just about every lens out there on these cameras with an adapter, any lens will do. Just make sure it's a M4/3's body.

Green. I want to see some wonderful shades of green, light green, dark green be it grass or glass it doesn't matter, just make sure it's NOT, I repeat, NOT blue and yellow or face the wrath of the DPR DQ Gods.

Something orange, and something else that rhymes with orange, or just show us two things that are orange in color and make sure they pop! Orange must be the main color and there must be 2 orange items. Hint - Blue really makes orange pop. ;-)

They say the bluest skies are in Seattle, but I think there in Lightroom... Looking for some crazy blue skies so find a good one in your archives and kick it up a notch. Not enough to make it look fake but just enough so people believe it's real. Don't forget the other 2 rules below. Only 60 slots but with size and title rule there will be some DQ's but act fast if you want to play.

Doesn't matter what it is as long as it flows and you capture that. If you choose to capture a toilet bowl flushing please have the decency to start with a clean bowl.

Combine these two elements in any way you see fit.
