sassienie Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Finding a Pretty woman at least 50 years old, would be a Challenge indeed. Of course, one can do wonders with photoshop. Edited February 5, 2009 by sassienie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyd Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 That's a beautiful shot and a beautiful lady hughden. I feel sorry for those who cannot see the beauty of older women. The old photographer's adage--the easiest way to get a good shot is to shoot children or old people. Your shot just reminded me of one I took a while ago, I'm going to go search for it now.

hughden Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Being one of those people who presses buttons first, and reads manuals second; it was inevitable that I should drop in some photos without reading the rules.... I now find I have broken at least two contest rules by submitting more photos than allowed, none of which were taken within the last three months (some were five months ago). And I got the sizing wrong! I therefore withdraw all my entries; although I am with Kan Win in querying why the 3 month rule. This is not a serious competition and people are not going to be going out to shoot specifically for a contest topic. I think you should be allowed to submit any of your photos, irrespective of when taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 The three month rule was part of the original suggestion, but I see no reason to make it hard and fast, though it will encourage member to be on the look out for new shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Having considered the comments here and in the other thread I am extending the challenge until the 1st March. Giving everyone a chance to get out and take some new photos. The photos submitted must be not older than 3 months. BTW that invalidates my own entry. I hope this will be acceptable.

lordsux Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It is for fun! But as with any kind of fun there must be a few ground rules. This is the first challenge, discussing, tweaking and changing the rules can only be expected and this will help make future challenges run nice and smoothly. So let's see some more pretty old ladys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
