When you say dark, do you mean evil?

If so, this should be really cool, as long as people really get into it.

What are the rules for editing the photos?

[DareDevil]

Yes, Evil.

Seems like an appropriate topic for the month considering Halloween is on its way.

[Michael.]

yeah what are the rules for editing this time?

[DareDevil]

Rules for editing,

Anything goes. Except adding to the picture. Lets not make this into a Chop contest.

[.:Chris:.]

Awesome. If anyone wants help editing their photo's feel free to PM me.

This should be a good one. I'm excited.

[DareDevil]

I'm glad you all like it :D

[DcrPrz]

Not an official entry but still evil!!!

Yeah I just told him to get in and light up the inside, and after I took it, we laughed about it for about 30 minutes... Wasn't even supposed to come out like that, but oh well. As soon as I saw the theme I was like, oh yeah, gotta use that one.

[.:Chris:.]

Some of these pictures don't look as if they're going along with the theme IMO. I know it's open to interpretation, but you do realize that this is the contest thread... right? And that the theme is 'dark'?

[DareDevil]

My words exactly.

This is the Contest thread.

The theme is Dark.

Post deleted until you can follow the rules.

[julia!]

I was going along the lines of creepy. if that was directed at me. I can take em down though?

[.:Chris:.]

I was going along the lines of creepy. if that was directed at me. I can take em down though?

Nope, not you. Mainly the guy with the turbo/jack daniels.

EDIT: DareDevil, you can delete my posts if you wanna clean this up.

[DareDevil]

[ka24destructor]

^ yall got some good stuff. i heard tampa has a lot of good photographers. im more of a videographer but pic up a camera time to time. well i didnt originally take this photo for the contest but figured it would go well with the theme. just messed a lil with the brightness/contrast in photoshop and resized.
