Heres' my show & tell chair pic-gigglenut//Users/elysenuff/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Living Foods and Boot Camp/P8210008.JPG

This is a good example to illustrate my point: the title of the competition can be ambiguous to non-English speakers. I am Dutch by birth and my wife is German. In both languages, and I think in Spanish as well, there is only one word for 'shadow' and 'shade'. In English a 'shadow' has the shape of an object blocking out the sun or the light. With a 'shadow' you can usually still see the contour of the person or thing making that shadow. The 'shade', however, has no shape, or its shape is not clearly visible. Somebody can sit in the shade, but you don't 'sit in the shadow'. I apologize to r lima for (ab)using his pictures (especially the second one) to demonstrate what the wrong interpretation of the theme would be, based on his/her misunderstanding of the English word 'shadow', but it may be helpful for him/her and others to still be able to change their entries according to the meaning of the theme. - Marinus Vesseur Certified Translator

Bonjour from Paris ! Here are my competing contributions : http://www.pbase.com/image/96906054/medium http://www.pbase.com/gillesfrance/image/134920300 http://www.pbase.com/gillesfrance/image/119388551

Sorry, submitting again my competing contributions, ALL in medium size as requested (in my first post the first picture was too large) : http://www.pbase.com/image/96906054/medium http://www.pbase.com/gillesfrance/image/134920300 http://www.pbase.com/gillesfrance/image/119388551 Thank you !

Greetings from Ontario, Canada :) This photo (one in a series) was taken on one of The Galapagos Islands. As I look at this photo, my brain still screams WOW! The Nazca Boobie was no more than 2 or 3 feet away from us. The egg had just hatched and mom had the newborn on top of her feet to protect it from the scorching sun overhead. Her feet have a thermoregulating ability to maintain the newborn's core temp. http://www.pbase.com/snorkelady/image/118716365/medium http://www.pbase.com/snorkelady/image/118716367/medium The next photo was taken enroute to one of the Galapagos islands .... a female Magnificent Frigatebird hitched a ride on our catamaran, and posed for the 2 hour duration of the trip. These birds are usually seen in the sky looking for prey / as they cannot land on top of the water ..... they'll drown. http://www.pbase.com/snorkelady/image/117813065/medium

Is there a way we can add a rule that states: - If an image has already won, or comes in 2nd or 3rd in a contest, it is not eligible for another contest? This would help keep the entries fresh and force us to continue to be creative. thanks k

Sounds like a fine rule to me. I changed rule 6 to include this: 6. Any picture you've taken is eligible, regardless of date taken and camera, as long as it hasn't already won another contest. At this point, it will have to be enforced by participants and host of the contest. Sound good? -Emily

I would like to see "as long as it hasn't already placed in another contest (ie 1st, 2nd or 3rd)" instead of won.

Edit & submit for photos to show up?? Started new contest, previewed and images showed up....posted the new contest but the images did not show up just the html using PB-image button Photo unavailable Images did show up when I clicked on edit button and just resubmitted it. Glitch with the automatic posting of contest? The automated contest worked great other than that. Very easy! Thank you. Flo

A few from me... Photo unavailable Photo unavailable Photo unavailable enjoy Mike

How can I delete a photo from the current competition, in order to submit another one? Thanks.

Just hit the Edit button on the right top corner and you can change delete your entry. Gill

Thanks, Gill. But when I hit EDIT, I don't see any 'delete' option, just what I see on top of and to the right of this frame/box. Do I just delete the content I pasted there? I do see the X box on my third submission, but it doesn't appear on the other two. I think I took care of it, though. Thickly, John

When you hit "edit", what you submitted originally comes up with the "PB-Image" on either side. You can just highlight the image number and substitute it for the one you'd like to replace it with. Or just highlight the whole thing and delete. When I'm posting for competitions I open Pbase again with another browser (Firefox), choose the photo I want, minimize that browser and return to the original. That way all the submissions can be in one post. There is probably a better way, but this works for me. :) Gill

Manymany further thanks. I ended up deleting it all and replacing it with a note that those images should not be considered. Overdone, but it worked. :D JM
