Congratulations to Jimby for the win in the last round.

Your task for the next round is:

celebration

As almost always:

Send a PM to HomeInMyShoes with your entry
Entries must be in by September 4th (Friday) midnight
One entry per forumer, must be your own photo
Try not to enter a photo already entered in a previous contest
Your entry should work inside of the IMG tags (pbase is giving me some problems). If I have to rehost it will get resized to 800 in my freebie photobucket account.
Maximum size is 1024 x 1024
Include a photo title in your message if you have and want a title
Avoid over-photoshopping stuff. It's okay to do those adjustements like colour and balance and cropping you'd do if you were physically printing it, but no giraffes on an iceberg kind of thing. I'm not going to say no to an entry because of it. Voters can decide for themselves what's acceptable themselves.
First come first serve. If we reach the maximum 25 entries and yours is the 26th received, too bad. Unless there's a lot, in which case we might do a play-in preliminary round of images I think are less likely to actually win. Hey, someone needs to make a judgement call. If you don't like it, think of the rating systems in college athletics and how bad this could be.

Bunch of party poopers. 2 entries?

I didn't mean to pick a hard topic! I was thinking of birthday parties, fireworks, winners of sporting events, happy moments in life captured...

I didn't think it was a hard topic. We're up to four with my entry. It really does seem like the summer has taken the wind out of the contests. Even the last couple of rounds of voting have been really low for turnout. Maybe my inactivity in city photos is a problem.
