* * * * * October Photo Contest Theme * * * * *

[Richard D]

The October photo contest theme is "Hands"

A photo that conveys deep insight into the life, character, and personality of the person(s) who you have photographed.

It doesn't have to be just hands, but the hands should be the focus of the photo.

Black and white or color. As little post-shooting manipulation (saturation, exposure, cropping, etc.) as possible.

This is a tough one. Avoid Cliches. See it new.

Good luck and enjoy exercising your shutter finger!

Submissions will begin October 14.

I'd love it if all the photos entered were shot in the next 10 days.
