  • DPNow Salon competition # 138 - Incongruity

    In keeping with the 'uity the theme is INCONGRUITY and can be interpreted as broadly as you wish. In fact the more incongruous the better :-)

    Hopefully that will enable anyone to enter as any and all interpretations will be accepted so have fun and enter whatever you feel fits the theme.


    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 photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon thread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixels 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 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. The winner will be invited 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 and DPNow will not use them without permission.

    The salon end at midnight on February 25th 2013.

      I think that beeing dressed that way at midday in Time Square, New York, is somewhat incongruous

        Horacio, that's a great start. I've seen the naked cowboy on a number of trips to NYC and photographed him. I agree, he's a great match for this challenge. Now I have to come up with something....

            I'm trying to upload a photo but I'm getting the following error message:

            Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

            Command:

            "/usr/bin/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 127x85 -quality 70 -geometry 127x85 -unsharp 10 '/home/dpnow/public_html/galleries/data/2/thumbs/paris_parking.jpg'

            It's not a large file.

                I keep getting an error message when uploading to the gallery so I had to have tinypic.com host this.

                A motorist in Paris found a novel way to solve the parking problem.

                              Love them all. However unfortunately there can only be onewinner and I feel the most incongruous is Tom Holle's. It so reminds me of the early 70s when I had to go from Dubai to Ras al Khaimah by bus and saw so many tents on the side of the road with Rolls Royces outside them.

                              Congrats and thanks to everyone else for making me smile.

                              Over to you Tom.
