June 2008 Photo of The Month Contest! Working on the Railroad!

[TallDude]

Its time for another Photo Of The Month Contest!

First lets go over some rules.

1. The prize: The winning photo will be featured on the front page of the forum for the month following the contest. You get bragging rights!!

2. Each month will have a theme (Thanks TrainNut for that suggestion). The submitted photo should follow that theme.

3. Only ONE photo per month per person can be submitted, so make sure the one you submit is the one you want everyone to vote on. Having multiple submissions per person just makes voting difficult, so lets keep it simple.

4. At the end of the monthly contest, I will post a poll that will be open for 7 days in which everyone can vote for their favorite photo. The person with the most votes wins. In case of a tie, I will pick the winner. Depending on the number of entries, I may have to narrow down the choices in the poll.

5. Everyone is eligible.

6. This is supposed to be fun! Who knows, maybe we'll make a calender of the winning photos or something for the next year.. who knows!

7. Photos must be submitted on the monthly photo of the month thread (i.e. April 2007 Photo of the Month thread) started by me (TallDude)

8. The picture MUST be taken by the person submitting the picture. Please also include a short description if the scene. We do not want copyright issues etc.

9. Adding/Removing of features (sky, smoke, etc.) via Photoshop or other graphic program, is not allowed. Everything in the photo must exist in the scene being photographed. (Added 12/14/07)

10. Rules are subject to change if they need to be.

Ok.. now that we have the rules out of the way... onto the photo contest!!

June's theme: Working on the railroad!! ! Submit a photo of depicting working on the railraod, this might be a crew working on the tracks, working on a locomotive, a MOW car, etc. Lots of possibilities! The winner gets bragging rights and will win a spot on the front page of the site for a month!
