Hello, and welcome to the first contest I've ever held!
Okay, the theme is Sunsets and silhouettes, and it is oped to photography, because anything else would be to easy.

Rules
1. It must be a new piece of work.
No cheating, because I will be checking and if you just update it, there will be trouble. Believe me.
2. Limit your photo editing.
I can understand basic things, but we want the photos to be natural, not photo manipulation.
3. It must be your work
Believe me, I will go to hell and back to make sure you took this picture, so no cheating. I, will find out.
4. Models are allowed
It is perfectly acceptable to use models, and I am going to call you lucky if you have them available.
Lucky.
5. You entry must be set to me in a note by no later then July 30, 2009.
Yes, I am amazing, and giving you over a month, but if the news article gets over 100 favorites, I shall extend the date to August 10, 2009. I would like lots of entries, and am bending rules to suit this.
6. I am the judge.
To those of you who say 'Hey, she's not the best person to be a judge,' I say you're right, but it's my contest, and so I shall be the judge. (And because I've always wanted to ;3)
7. You can submit one entry.
However, if you want to be an ass and steal perfectly good names, who am I to stop you? I am the one to stop you actually, and I will.
