This may be my only chance to run a salon that mimics the Weekly Close Up threads I run on other forums, so forgive me for not being more creative.
The theme is a open interpretation of anything you have to get up close and personal with to shoot. It does include but isn't limited to macro since not everyone has the gear to do that.
Examples can be bugs, flowers, the moon, people, wildlife, cars etc.

1.All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/
They can be put in members own gallery if they wish.The resulting link generated for the foto/photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread.Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.
2.One entry per user ID only please,which must be the personal work of the entrant.
3.Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as a links to an image held somewhere else)
4.Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.
5.After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.
6.The curators decision is final.
7.Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.
8.If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer,possibly the entrant in second or third place.
9.These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.
10.As with all photos posted on DPnow,copyright remains with the photographer an DPnow will not use them without permission.
11.Please don`be shy and put yourself to work.It is all about having FUN.
The salon will run for two weeks and close at midnight GMT 27-4-11.
Good luck.
