    This contest has become a contest again.
    Please read the amended RULES sticky.
    The biggest change is NO comment posts in the Submission thread, please post those in the 'comments' thread.
    also please only post one photo per month, make it a good one !

    The only prize is bragging rights.
    I am the lone judge, I will pick one and only one monthly winner.

    Since we are returning this to a contest...kinda of a 'restart' if you will, I am choosing a subject suitable for any caster.

    =========================

    June 2014 Photo topic: a single cast boolit

    Better choose a good boolit (it can be a recovered boolit), make sure you get the lighting right, and keep in mind the composition (composition is everything else in the photo).

    Before you criticize another man, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you'll be a mile away from him, . . . and you'll have his shoes.
