    The Theme:

    'Ghosts'

    The Rules:

    - Photographs must be taken by you - no nicking them off the Web
    - Photos must be taken specifically for the contest - get out there and get snapping!
    - One picture per person.
    - No excessive digital manipulation (i.e. adding a more dramatic sky from another photo to your picture, or creating negative images etc.). Cropping, and adjusting levels, contrast, saturation etc. is ok though.
    - Equipment: Anything goes as long as the results can be seen from here.
    - Voting takes place when the contest closes.
    - The winner of the contest gets to choose the next subject.
    - The entire community is allowed to vote for one picture in the voting thread

    Remember me? I've been busy being a student, but now that it's holiday time I've time for lurking on the internets again. I hope it's ok for me to submit an image. :)

    - which is the ghost, the one-eyed scribble monster, or the shadow-girl behind it?

    Well, seeing we have just one entry and several people claiming they've got ideas or at least find the idea interesting, I say we follow our competition tradition and delay the deadline.

    New closing date would be

    SUNDAY 21st.

    Aces Lyia! Is it a balloon or a football that's been kicked? If it was a balloon what was it attached too?

    Real good show this month.

    :D Thank you! It's neither. I used a small paper lantern. It's tied to my fishing pole. Luckily the tree hides the fishing line somewhat. You should have seen the looks I recieved walking through the cememtary with a ghost attached to a fishing pole. I of course walked by as if it was normal to fish in a cemetary.
