This was a challenging subject to capture in a photo.  The entries for this category showed the imagination and creativity of the participants.  I’m delighted to share with you those pictures that particularly appealed to me (though I think all entries were wonderful).  You can cast up to three votes for your favorite photograph(s) by using the poll at the bottom of this post. The poll will stay open until the end of September. ~kaye

It is preferred that you take your photos between today (February 1st) and February 28th.  If for some reason you are stuck on the 28th without a few of the items on your list, then you may use a maximum of two photos from your archives, as long as they were taken less than one year ago.  You ARE allowed (and encouraged!) to use Photoshop or other photo-editing software as you’d like (it often adds to the artistic quality of the photo).

It is up to you whether you post your photos on your blog as you go, or wait until February 28th to unveil them and make it a surprise.  One thing I ask is that everyone who participates posts all 20 photos in one single post on their blogs or in a set in an online gallery on February 28th/March 1st.

A new post will go up here at photohuntchallenges.com on March 1st. I will be using the Mr. Linky auto-link widget.  Anyone who completes Photo Hunt #6 will need to add their name & the URL permalink of where their Photo Hunt photos are posted.  Everyone who adds their name to the auto-link will have their photos considered for my Favorites.   After I go through all of the participants’ entries, I will post my favorite photos for each of the 2o items on the list in a separate blog post with a poll for each.  Please note that I will not include archived photos in my favorites (it hardly seems fair!)  Anyone who votes is encouraged to vote based on their favorite photo, not just for a particular photographer. Voting is also open to anyone and everyone. The polls are open for exactly one month from the time I create them and I create each post as time allows throughout the month.  After all polls are closed I will compile the photos of all the winners and will display them here on the photohuntchallenges.com blog.

If you would like to participate, please sign-up by adding your name and blog url to the Mr. Linky widget below (Note: Mr Linky sometimes has technological issues so if you don’t see the widget now, come back again a little later!).  If you would like to recruit others for the photohuntchallenges.com Photo Hunt or announce your participation, please feel free to post the above badge on your blogs and remember to link back to this post.

(PS Sorry about the borders around the photos, I don’t know why it did that and I will try to fix it when I have time!)

Disclaimer: There is one change that I am making to these “Favorites Series” for PH#4 (for the sake of my limited time). I am no longer linking the photographer’s gallery to their photo, but you can see all the participants galleries linked here. If you would like to know who the photographer of each photo is, just scroll your mouse over the photo and the person’s name will be shown as the title of the photo.
