October submission thread...Strength

[CC]

The theme is strength, I leave it up to your imagination and creativity on how you approach it. The submission period will end on Friday night (Oct. 14), probably around 9 est or when we get 30 entries, which ever comes first.
Photos should be 800 pixels at the longest length and try to keep them under 200 kbs. If you need help resizing pm me and I will help.

Everyone is welcome to enter. If you know someone that might be interested drag them over and get them to jump in. The scariest part is winning. The most important thing is to have fun.

I copied the following from last months contest...

RULES:
1. This thread is only to be used to post entries. I will start a separate thread for comments.
2. The photo's name should be put in the "Subject" of the post.
3. The winner of the contest agrees to host next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest), and pick the next month's theme. Winners have traditionally sat out the next month's contest.
4. You must read the following before submitting an entry:

Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph.

An entrant can disclaim this Contest License and retain all rights to the photograph.
