Round Robin Challenge: Garden Portraits

Hi Robins :)

"GARDEN PORTRAITS" NOW CLOSED!

We haven't been doing much in the way of garden photography, so let's fix that! Save the date, because our next Round Robin Challenge will take place on Saturday, June 5th! And our subject will be "Garden Portraits." Our fellow Robin, Sherrie, who authors the blog, Sherrie's Stuff, submitted the idea of "In The Garden" way back in January of 2009, so I thought it would be fun to combine her idea, with an idea I had to showcase a particular part of a garden. When you put them both together, here is what I want you to do. Take an overall photo of a garden, any garden, then choose one flower or one vegetable, and showcase it as a portrait. Really get in there and show us it's beauty! Sound good?

:)

As always, here are some general guidelines for how we play...

1. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE. In this case, the date would be Saturday, June 5th, 2010.

2. Please remember R.S.V.P. your intention to play by providing us with your full information each time you play, using the following format...

Your Name
The Name of your Blog
The full address of where your entry can be found

EXAMPLE

3. It's a good idea to comeback here on the day of the challenge and let us know you have posted. It helps us out a lot and keeps things moving along smoothly.

4. If you are new to the challenges, please let us know so we can give you a proper welcome!

5. You can post your entry at any time after midnight on the day of the challenge, and for up to one week after we play, but posting on the day of the challenge guarantees you the most visitors.

If you have any questions on how to play, or how to leave us your intention to play, feel free to email us. You can find our contact information on the sidebar!

Okay, that's it. Go have fun. Go be photographers. See you back here on Saturday, June 5th!

Round Robin Challenge: Statues

Hi Robins! The next Challenge was suggested by me exactly two years and one week ago. I think it's time we got around to it, don't you? The topic for Saturday, May 22nd is

NOW CLOSED!

Statues

As I said at the time:

Statues - photograph a statue of some sort. It can be as large as the Sphinx in Egypt, or as small as a bowling trophy.

Simple, right? Get out there and photograph any kind of statue, large or small, in a public square, a museum, a church or even on your mantle shelf! Then get ready to post your entry on May 22nd. Here's a quick reminder about our guidelines:

1. DO RSVP in the comments below, preferably before the Challenge date. PLEASE include your complete info every time, thus:

Yes, I'll be there to unveil my statues!

Michaelangelo

Plaster and Stone

http://whenitsdone.blogspot.com

Please proofread your comment for typos, especially in the URL, and make sure it gets successfully posted. We've started to see problems with people posting comments that never show up. If we don't know about your entry or where exactly it's posted, it's kind of hard for us to link to it!

2. DO NOT post before the Challenge date, Saturday, May 22nd. If you're a few days late that's okay, although you probably won't get as many visitors. But please do not post early. As Carly says, it's not a race, and an entry posted early is harder for everyone else to find.

3. DO include a link back to this blog in your entry, so other people can find us and play along. We also encourage you to include a Round Robin graphic, and links to other Robin's blogs. We post the Linking List around midnight Pacific time on the Challenge date, and update it throughout the day.

That's it for now. Go be photographers!
