The new version: Forum-Thank-You.png128x128.

Here it is at 20x20 (not so good)

With dark theme it really fits. For 20px version only: how about adding outline (2-3px on 128 version), resize to 20px, paint the tip to blue color and sharpen (about 0.5)
This is what I got playing around:

Yes, but on a lighter theme, not so much.  The "Jury" is still out on this subject.  But more comments/ideas on the subject are welcome

Hello fellow PDN'ers :) . 

 

I would like to request that you all make a list of possible "themes" for the OotF as I am getting low on ideas.

 

Please post in this thread.

 

Thank you t125022.gif

I've been away for a bit so I will just brainstorm here:

 

keyboard

handbag

razor

door as in front door

padlock

briefcase

picture frame 

cigar box

USB stick

tube or tub of face/hand cream

cake pedestal stand

USB light stand

fancy USB light (shapes as in stars, moon, cactus etc)

Christmas bauble, candle, wreath

nail art

dog collar (or cat)

bookmark

wine bottle

fairy house

mushroom

incense holder 

 

Please ignore the ones we have done...

Cat Ootf

 

Object backgrounds?... We don't know if a viewer is using a dark or light theme for the forum and many browsers do not display transparency consistently either. A black cat with black whiskers won't look very good against a black background! Coal-shed, snowstorm etc. Please can we include a simple background?

 

Sometimes more complex backgrounds are intrinsic to the image too? eg.
Cat3.png   Versus  Cat3%20OBJECT.png


The concept of an 'object' normally works for things like text but makes no sense for anything remotely realistic... basically anything that reflects light!
I suggest the competition should become 'Image of the fortnight' as default, perhaps with occasional 'object' themes and rules?

 

I'll post some cats with backgrounds but if they break the rules I'm quite happy to be barred from the competition.
The practice and challenge has been very useful and enjoyable!
A fun theme and very interesting to see other's approaches and techniques.

 

Happy new year for Monday

As far as I know, when this theme was started by @toe_head2001 the requirements were:

 

1.   The final image to be on a 'transparent background'

2.  The automatic background for the theme would be 'set' to white.

 

(I do alter the background color when we have very light images though)

 

More suggestions on this subject, please post here folks :)

Image backgrounds are always forced to white in the Polls.

I don't know about becoming the new default, but it could be good to do from time to time.

(September 25th, 2023)  Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Feathers OotF:
Apologies for not voting!... I considered ALL the entries of a very high standard and couldn't decide which I preferred... love the different approaches.
I did have a quick attempt at this (not very convincing - so did not submit). I greatly admire the results you have both achieved!👍

I think it may be time to take a break from the OotF Competitions, until further notice, as the entries have dwindled and it's down to just two of us.

 
It can always be started again, if people begin to show an interest again.

 

Many thanks to those who have participated in the past :)
