Theme: Far from Home Lost, out of place, abandoned or adverturesome. Look beyond the obvious and show us your best shot at creating an image which best captures what this concept means to you. Be surprising, and don’t be afraid to take the theme someplace unexpected and original.

Submissions will be judged on creativity in application of the theme as well as artistic and technical merit. Tell us a bit about your image when you enter it. What does the image communicate to you? Were there any challenges that you had to overcome to successfully capture the image? What techniques and equipment did you use?

Above all, have fun and be creative! We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Limit: one photograph per entry, four entries per person. Winners will be announced on July 5th, 2011.

Because this is a photography challenge, we are limiting post-processing to things that you can normally accomplish in the darkroom. Tone, brightness and contrast and ‘dodge and burn’ are all fair game, but composting multiple elements from different images into a single image or painting out elements within the frame is off-limits. Focus on capturing the best image you can in-camera.
