The Essence of Autumn
α ρнσтσgяαρну ¢σηтєѕт Introduction:  Cited: http:// farm3.static.flickr.com/2359/1803502274_71b744db55.jpgAutumn, as we all know, is a most colorful season. All seasons are beautiful in their own ways, but this, between hot Summer and frozen Winter, seems to hold a specific mysteriousness to it. Your mission is to capture the mystery and beauty of Autumn; the essence of Autumn.
You will be sent on a journey through backyards, parks, forests, even. You may travel however deep you dare into true Autumn. 1st Place: Autumn Glory (?)
Honorable Mentions: (?)

The Mission: You will be taking pictures of the things on the Autumn List, as well as a single image of your own desire that you really believe entirely captures the essence of Autumn. When taking pictures, though, you musn't simply 'click' and be done. No, you must give your pictures a creative angle. Image editing is welcome, so long as you don't change the color of the image. (You may warmify pictures, though). To ensure that you have not stolen images from anyone else, there is also a catch. In each picture, you must have your own hand in a thumbs-up position in some corner of the image. If you absolutely must have two hands on your camera to take an image, you may put a foot into your picture instead. This will deduct one point, but if you believe that it will gain you more points for creativity, then go for it.
The Autumn List: You only have to choose five things!
• Mushroom: Unpicked.
• Orange leaf: Unmoved.
• Yellow leaf: Unmoved.
• Red leaf: Unmoved.
• Brown leaf: Unmoved.
• Un-carved pumpkin (+1 bonus point if it is still on the vine)
• Carved pumpkin (+1 bonus point if it is a green pumpkin)
• Corn stalk
• Frog: Alive.
• Scarecrow
• Apple tree
All entries will be judged on a point system.
Each Autumn List item is worth 6 points.
+1 for having the correct item.
+4 for creativity.
+1 for a thumbs-up in the image.
Your Essence of Autumn image is worth 15 points.
+4 for good coloring.
+10 for creativity.
+1 for a thumbs-up in the image.
Total Possible Points are 45/45.

Presentation: Presentation is key. So, please follow these tips that will lead you to succeed.
• Designate a post in this topic for your final entry. Come back and edit it later to add in your images.
• Use photobucket to size your images so that they will not stretch the page. Don't make them too small, though, for then it becomes difficult to see them!
• Do not link your images - take the image codes from photobucket (if you're using photobucket) and paste them in your post.
• Announce in your final post of when you are completely finished with your entry.

Come on guys, I know there are more of you who were interested in a photography contest! So, join in!
Also remember that you don't have to have all your pictures taken to add them to your post. It makes it more interesting for me, and the rest of us, if you give us a little taste of your skill in bits and pieces.

Well that's okay - you only have to choose five things, so don't choose red or orange leaves.
