Dear all,

I have the honor to host the 7th Canon Talk Forum (CTF) mini-challenge, and I chose the topic:

-- JOY --

[Pictures of people with the first name "Joy" are not eligible, unless they depict JOY ;-) ]. EnJOY yourself by participating in this little contest. Again, the challenge willl run for 7 days - ending Friday 3-Oct 23:00 CEST (Germany) which should be something like Friday 22:00h UK and Friday 17:00 Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

I am looking forward to your pictures! Post them by replying to this kick-off posting.

Best regards,
Frank

p.s. if I am breaking any rules or customs please let me know - I am not so familiar with this, but it does not look too complicated.

-------------copy&paste---------------------------------------

Here are the rules...

The host gives you a topic and an image to get you going. You post an image. The host chooses the winner. The decision of the judge (the Host!) is final. The judge is not eligible. The winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and passes on the baton to that person.

It's not so much about going out and taking a photo with the subject in mind (though by all means, do that if you want), it's more about looking through your pics that are already at Pbase, say, and posting one here that fits the topic. Any picture you've taken is eligibe regardless of time taken and camera. You can do all the post processing you want.

Here are some guideline:

When posting your picture change the subject to your picture title.

Either embed your image in the thread or supply a link to it. And how do you embed a picture? I'm glad you asked: while your photo on pbase (or any other web site) is open, copy the URL address from the address box on your tool bar, then paste it into your reply thread. Add a .jpg extension to get the photo to show up. Click on preview to make sure it's what you want.

Provide any additional information you want.

Only one picture per person!

Please limit the 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.
 
Hi,

This is a portrait of my Japanese friend Yukio. His name means happy. He is holding up a bottle of drink called "Happy" And he has a happy face on.

I hope its good enuff.

Picture taken with S330 canon. About a year and 5months ago.

I still have the original to verify that the bottle of softdrink is indeed called Happy. If requred I can upload it.

Thanks,
Simpliton

Good pic - but for purposes of these mini challenges - try and post
a MUCH smaller version of the pic - some of us a still on dial up
access and this one took FOREVER to load. :-)

Smaller pictures are better!

And I like the painting type effect you've applied to the image. Care to share that little bit of magic with us. Yea, I know, it's been many months...

Sorry about putting that 900+ kb picture.

To make you happy, I have resized it so that people can enjoy it.

Its been months since I did the Photoshop trick. I believe I used watercolor and some other filter. And maybe also plus blur of some sort.

Anyway I just played with it and got this really nice painting type effect, that stunned me. To tell you the truth, I have tried to get the same effect but have not been able to get it. I believe it has got to do with the person in the portrait. :)

Dear all,

to motivate those of us who like to take pictures of babies and children, and also those of us who think that photography is more than babies and children, I just decided to have two groups of winners, you might say two mini-challenges at the same time.

Group ONE: "Joy" depicted with the help of those gorgeous babies' and children's photos that we have already seen so far.

Group: TWO: All other entries.

So we will see two winners, two runner-ups and two "third place"s. I will declare one of the winners the host of mini-challenge #8. - The original rule "one photograph per participant" still applies, so don't submit two photos now.

Best regards
Frank

I can understand why you are doing that - but it is a product of the topic chosen - not the fact that we are all "kid crazy". It's tough to depict "Joy" in a landscape or in a flower - if you know what I mean. I have TONS of other photos to choose from - but Joy sends me to something that depicts it. My opinion. I completely realize that photogrgpahy is more than "babies and children"........
