I like it. Should be fun.:beer:

[Jeremy Ordan]

I think that this one will get people thinking, so we will have to see what happens

[Mig]

Thinking is hard :/

[alwayslearning]

First, thank you for the comments regarding my fathers death. You're a good bunch of folk here.

If my limited skill set will allow me to pull off what I am picturing in my mind, .... well, I don't know ... I might win something on my first contest entry. :)

I struggle with that every round.:) You'll do great.

[MrG]

I can finally explain why I'm up in a tree shooting a girl who's getting dressed through her window ;)

[mikkowilson]

LOL!

Just remeber the DVXuser guidelines on nudity. Oh yeah, and a signed talent release might be a good idea for this one too.

Or just send it directly to Mikko and not enter it!

[HorseFilms]

I, too, would like to see that shot... you know, just to make sure it's in good taste.

[MrG]

Now you're going to make actually go out there and take it :D

[Tom Marshall]

I'll volunteer to help determine whether it's a good shot or not... :beer:

[TimurCivan]

how hard is it to shoot a picture where you have it framed by something?

[MrG]

Taking the actual photo is easy, the hard part is getting rid of the bird that has taken the best spot on the tree :D

P.S.

That's the last one, I promise :)

[viperfour]

Is it just me or are these two links down ATM?

3. Register for the contest at http://www.stffilms.com/dvxuser_photo_contest

Everything is in comp... it is just for fun though...

[TimurCivan]

Haha... i will see what i can do.

[Jeremy Ordan]

Well as those who have tried to upload (I'm guessing 1) have seen, the upload site is down.

I am working with my web designer in addition to my business partner to come up with some solutions. As of right now I will extend the deadline for this round while still launching the next round and we will vote as soon as possible.

I am sorry for the hassle but we are really working on this to have this situation resolved as quickly as possible.

Thanks!

Jeremy

[alwayslearning]

I am glad you will be extending the deadline. As of right now, a few minutes to midnight, I still can't log on to upload.

Larry

[HorseFilms]

Just give the word when things are sorted out and I'll be ready to upload.:beer:

[Jeremy Ordan]

We're in the process of sorting through everything now and coming up with a new solution. That being said, Round 10 will be announced HERE rather than in the Round 10 thread as the upload and other details will change.

Stay tuned for another two or three hours.

[viperfour]

Thank You for the updates Jeremy!

Do me a favor... PM Steve_Arm and let him know. He can most likely dig in the database and find it.

Everything was settled with a 100 bucks.

[Brandon Rice]

Thanks Steve! :)
