Just a friendly reminder:

1. Do note the theme of this contest. Obviously, wide angle shots do not give a good indication of the use of internal strobe.

2. Do note the size limitations of the picture - 600 pixels on the longest side.

3. Should you want to change your submission but cannot erase you old picture, inform Beivied or Waisj via PM to do it on yor behalf.

4. This thread is still for photo submission only. My reminder is an exception.

5. 1 more week to closing date.

Eric
