Please use the forum thumbnail link to post your images. If you don't know how to use it, please ask ! It really helps in setting up the poll. Otherwise, it's a pain in the south end of a northbound possum.

Yes it's WOTW 26. I must have forgotten to change it on the template document. I seem to do that quite a bit. I think it has something to do with my advanced age. As far as changing to the photobucket thumb instead of the forum thumb, I'll look into it to see if it makes any difference in the way I set up the comp. As to it being a "green" issue, with only 272 views of that thread, I think there would be a negligible energy savings for people using a PC. I'm running on my laptop battery right now, and often do, but even then don't think the drain on my battery would be significant. I have noticed that at times a Photobucket thumb link does load slower than the forum thumb link, so that might even cause a greater use of energy in some cases. In the bigger scheme of things, if I could get my wife to turn a light off in a room when she leaves it, I would see a greater energy savings than any change I make on this forum. Oh, and this would not fall under the guidelines of special rule #5.

The entry period is now over. I'll have the poll up later tonight or tomorrow morning. So everyone can get started on the next (and last) round, here is a brief description of the theme. The theme is 3D HDTV. You are to use one of these two images (see thumbs below) to create an image that looks like the advertisements you see for 3D TV and 3D movies. The idea is to show something popping out of the TV screen. The rest of the general rules from the previous two rounds apply, ie. stocks only, no renders, you must link to your stocks, blah, blah, blah...... I'll have the official rules written up before the poll closes. You MUST use one of these two stock images in your entry. http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae223/DeadPossums/PhotoManip/3D_HDTV.png http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae223/DeadPossums/PhotoManip/3D_HDTV2.png

The entry period is now over. The poll will be up tomorrow.

Reposting this..... Just so everyone has a chance to get ready for the next round I wanted to take a minute to give you all the theme. The next Photo Manip theme will be "Landscapes". You can modify a regular landscape (useful but boring) or you can create a fictional landscape (creative and humorous) for your entry. Same rules apply as in the current round, so take a moment to refresh your memory if you are not one of the current participants. The next round will start either Wednesday evening or on Thursday (depending on how busy I am at work). Good luck !
