  • Fortnightly Salon Competition No. 18 - Temptation

    Thanks to JDS9000 for running the last Salon ....

    The theme for Salon 18 is ...

    T E M P T A T I O N


    Feel free to interpret this in any way you see fit. Should get the old grey matter working.

    Does that new sports car tempt you? A beautiful garden, a holiday scene, do your tropical fish throw temptation your cat's way? The choice is yours!

    If you have never entered a competition before, why not give this one a try? - remember the guidelines set out below and the best of luck. Remember to enjoy taking your photo's.

    Good luck to everyone who takes part & thank you everyone for your kind comments! The salon ends 5.00pm Monday 11th June 2007.

    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

    Well, as I didnt get the chance to enter the last one, I thought I would be first to enter this one!

    Many congratulations on winning the previous Salon Gina, a great, and worthy shot!

    Well, here's my entry for temptation!

    This is a baby squirell that had just climbed down a tree, poor little fella was then greated by my freinds Jack Russell.

    Please note, no squirells, Jack Russells or Photographers were harmed in the execution of this photograph

      Cheers coupekid.

      What a great capture, looks like the squirrel is in shock! Love the disclaimer too. I bet that Jack Russell was tempted!

        Cheers Gina,

        It was a lot of fun taking the picture, he spotted the squirrel, and I saw him slowly getting closer and closer, I fired off a couple before my freind pulled him away.

                Hi Kurt,

                Good shot and expression and a nice feeling about the picture. My only question is ... what is the white hanging thing? Is it a fish?


                Audrey,

                Ooooh ! Did you make this creation of confection yourself? A good use of lighting.


                DTD,

                A great subtle but striking black and white shot. I love the shadows.


                Thank you for your entries so far in this salon.

                Come on everyone, get your shutters shutting and think of something that relates to TEMPTATION - upload your entry to your DPNow photo gallery and cut and paste here.

                1st PRIZE wins a 2GB Kingston Ultimate high-speed memory card.

                    I did. It's a Lemon Pavlova and really delicious!

                      Sounds devine Audrey. Shame we can't all share it with you.



                      I can see the lemony bits too.

                        Well I had intended posting a photo of a wonderful baked Alaska we had on the ship But I reckon one scrumptious pudding is enough for any Salon

                        Anyway, I was surely tempted by this one, which I drank at our lunch on board the train taking us North.

                          Hi ryme-intrinseca,

                          Did you have a zoom lens with you? heh heh!! I can see how this fits in with the theme - nice one

                          Love the rocks in the distance. Was it cold? there weren't too many people about that day.

                          Great entry.

                          Gina

                            There's no such thing as ... "enough cake!"

                            Love this photo Stephen, that beer does look tempting. Cheers
