Challenge #37 - DEVOTION

How to Use This Board

Here's our
37th Challenge for you all.

"D E V O T I O N"

Details:

This topic was chosen by Ron Tesnear, who won our last Challenge. He chose the new subject of "Devotion". He says simply - "No limitations or parameters to add. Anxious to see what comes from this. ". So let's see how many ways we can show this wonderful concept. Put on those thinking caps and let your imaginations go!

Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes. If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo. If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it. It's best if your photos are at least 500 to 600 pixels wide so that they are easily seen. Please keep your photos under 175 KB in size.

Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.

The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on October 25, 2009 and then we'll vote on them.

Please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it. Please only enter photos taken by you.

Please put a short title above your photo. We need the title for the poll listing. If you want to tell us a bit about your photos, please put it below your picture or in a separate post.

Please post only one entry per post/message.

Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge. So start posting. Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
Remember, this is a fun project!

First, Let me congratulate Ron for his well deserved winning shot, as well as the other amazing entries from equally talented photographers.

Second, I would like to thank Ron for picking a very challenging theme. This subject of
"Devotion" is quite interesting.

Let us all have fun sharing our visions of Devotion.

Grow Old Along With Me

Candidly shot in Toronto with Fuji Finefix S2 Pro. I could not resist the sweetness of
this elderly couple. All these years, they are still so devoted to each other.

Pat · October 13, 2009, 12:54:04 PM

Wow! What a great start! I really like this one showing the devotion of these two to each other.

Jeanne Lee · October 13, 2009, 01:00:46 PM

I think this challenge is going to show us a lot of different ways of expressing devotion and LaughingPeppers has made a wonderful start.

LaughingPeppers · October 13, 2009, 04:18:58 PM

Thanks Pat and Jeanne. It never fails to move me every time I look at that elderly couple's photo. How often do see couples as sweet as that?

You really jumped out on this one. Your pictures are so great. We may declare you the winner and the rest of us have a separate contest. Great Job Laughing Peppers.

Congratulations to Ron.

The pictures showing up for the new "Devotion" challenge are beautiful.

LaughingPeppers · October 15, 2009, 10:20:22 AM

Thank you, Steve.
But I am sure there are more amazing photos yet to be posted from
other artistic and talented photographers like yourself. I am just hoping
that my entries bring out the best from other contestants.
Contest is not over until the last posting.

What wonderful examples of devotion we're seeing! Keep them coming, folks!

Fotobirder · October 15, 2009, 12:05:32 PM

Could I please get Mother Deer and Fawn taken off the List. I realized that I had entered that photo in other Challenges and wanted to use all new Material.

Thanks for your help
Steve

Jeanne Lee · October 15, 2009, 12:12:03 PM

Steve, Don is away and hasn't started the poll yet, so I'll go put "Not for the Challenge" on that picture and that way he can skip over it. OK?

Fotobirder · October 15, 2009, 03:27:59 PM

Thanks. I've got to put my thinking cap on for this one. But I'm sure I'll come up with something.

Steve

Pat · October 15, 2009, 05:25:27 PM

I've removed your post, Steve.

Thanks!

Don · October 16, 2009, 08:24:09 PM

I know were keeping you busy. I've gone through almost all of my Galleries looking for the right pictures. I want to enter 2 more pictures I found but that means I need to have the "Mother Gator Picture Removed." I would certainly appreciate it if you could.

Humbly submitted
