For this challenge, let’s throw caution to the winds and see what we can do with a ‘Centered Composition’. When you stop and think about it, there are some subjects that just cry out for a ‘Centered Composition’. So for this Challenge, forget about the ‘rule of thirds’ and find something that really works well for a starring role in a centered position.The general guidelines are located here and cover most aspects of the challenge: https://pbase.com/otfchallenge/challenge_rules_guidelines

Please give your submission a title. A creative title enhances the image and is required for all entries. The Challenge is open to all members of the Olympus Talk Forum who joined before the beginning of the Challenge period and the photos must be taken with an Olympus digital camera. (Oly DSLR's are acceptable)

The Exhibition gallery is located here and all are encouraged to submit up to two photos: https://pbase.com/otfchallenge/exhibition_challenge_64

Exhibition photos DO NOT need to be from an Olympus camera. Challenge entries (limit 1 per member) must be taken during the challenge period starting Friday, May 9, 6:00 AM and ending at 10:00 PM CDT on Monday, May 19, 2008.

Check your time Zone: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=158;Challenge entries and exhibition gallery submissions should be sent to the following e-mail address: judyjo1@tds.net. The submissions should be sized to 800 on long side, and under 200 kb.
