The Rules

 The theme for this photo contest is New Beginnings. It's essentially a spring contest. Nature photography, macros, still life and conceptual pieces around the theme of a new beginning are welcome. I accept old photos.

 To enter the contest, just send me - *signmeupscotty - a note with a thumb or link to your photo. Only one photo per account please.

 I will only accept photographs taken with a film or a digital camera. Photomanipulations, which are images that have been composed of two or more photographic elements to create something new, won't qualify.

 All contest entries are displayed in this journal, and in the March Mini Contest Collection.
