another question... is it important tat all 3 element of the theme to be in 1 photo?

so they didn't say much about photo manipulation as long as exif is still there
 

This means image must is less than 10 Mega Pixel, right ????

All my 10MP images are more than 3MB in size.

can... u can either lower the spec in ur camera setting or just shoot at 10mega pixel and later change to a lower resolution using photoshop or other software

The image quality may drop as a result of lower resolution :(

Hopefully, the judges give more points base on the theme and not on image quality.

haha... not so dramatic as 4hr late... i was at the big walk... 8am then nikon start to give out the goodie bag (to those who queue)... i went there with my camera and got my goodie bag and voucher at about 8:20am... then stick around there to take some photo, so tat i could get some picture with yellow theme involve for the photo competition... at 9:15 plus... i decided to leave as it getting abit too crowded to photograph anybody without interruption..

anyway at 8:20am i'm the 14th clubsnap to collect the voucher... so i guess he is like 1hr late or so

or maybe even better, he went to the wrong collection counter... the counter is at the carnival area instead of the big walk start or end point
