*** Still MORE theme ideas for November contest here, please ***

[JeffR]

Was going to post a poll at 10, but since we're already at 16 or so, I'm going to take more until we get to 30. Then we're going to have 3 randomized theme Prelim rounds and from those, a Final 10 to choose from.

'Cause I'm just zany that way.

[HappyCynic]

1. A couple suggestions

Well grounded
Water

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Left over from November:

In motion.

[alfredo]

3. Backlit

[JeffR]

4. If I'm adding right (not likely...) there's room for 9 more ideas

:think:

[Mira]

5. Ocean but not at sunset

or Sunset at the Ocean

[Celebration]

6. there's a problem with ocean

Most of us would have to use pictures in our files rather than get out and take them. I like to at least have the option of taking a new picture. On the other hand, maybe it is an incentive for a quick trip to the beach! Same problem with mountains............

[Sheepshank]

7. I'll be at the ocean

over thanksgiving lol. I'm at the mountains now.

Someone mentioned "in motion". I'm intrigued. You know, that could include the ocean...not so much the mountains lol.

[Johnny Noshoes]

8. Oh the mountains are moving...

only really really really slowly:rofl:

[Mira]

12. Very good point. I just was in the Fla Keys, and have all new stuff... was only

thinkig "selfishly">

[Celebration]

14. Hey, I was just in Redneck Riviera

I could go with it............

[Richard D]

24. Ocean is easy for me . . .

. . . but I live 5 minutes from it. Maybe just "Water"?

[Celebration]

10. Why not bodies of water?

Rivers, ponds, lakes, bays, oceans, so we could either take a new picture or use something old............... I've got ocean pictures--don't get me wrong....but a lot of people like to take something new for the contest.

[mth44sc]

16. :-) n/t

[Mira]

17. Hey, I know why you're smiling.

At any God-given time, you can have a fresh and probably winning photo to serve up if the theme is "Bodies of Water".

You make me smile, too, just because of your double advantage.
You figure it out.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. How about...Something "uniquely American."

[Celebration]

11. oh, we went through this once before

Someone suggested hard working Americans or something like that, and we changed it to "World of Work" because we have four or five people here that don't live in the USA, and it might be a bit hard for them to compete. Although, they could probably take a picture of a McDonald's franchise.....

:rofl:

[Mira]

13. Like you said,

by re-naming the theme "A World of Work", and then again in the "Historical Monument places" by discussing it.

I think we could get around it again with a little discussion, should this suggestion win.
But it is a good thing to catch the potential of a problem early.

[HappyCynic]

15. A couple more suggestions

Illusion
Surreal

[JeffR]

18. Four more, give or take

and I'll open some polls.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. Divine/Mystical/Holy Whatever word describes the feeling of communion with something

[Mira]

28. Take one of my others off, your choice and add this (if you would)
