Alan Beastall 567 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I had in my mind to have a Christmas theme for this months challenge and how best to show this festive season in your selected images. Bah Humbug some may say but not this year. My theme for December is Converging Lines. There are plenty of fine examples of Converging Lines on the internet, some are man made others are in the natural environment. They do not have to be straight lines, you can have curves, spirals etc or even the shape of the landscape. Normal rules - each contender can provide up to 3 images, all to be from Alamy; BUT; as I am away at the end of December, the closing date for entries will be Midnight on Tuesday 25th and all votes in by the 30th. Example of my take on this theme are shown below. Lets see some excellent images, but remember to have a great Christmas. Alan.

Marianne 1,084 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 So many ships to choose from but here's one of my favorites with converging lines: Alamy helped me get a press pass to OpSail 2012 so I took this from another tall ship during the Parade of Sail. It's gotten me into galleries and was my first print sold online. Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Beastall 567 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Some great images being posted, keep them coming. At the end of December I shall have to decide the images that you will vote for. Where do you obtain the voting table? Alan Link to post Share on other sites
Colin Woods 985 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 You create it yourself - you start a new topic and choose 'start a poll' or whatever the actual words are. You will then be prompted to ask a question (you put 'the winner for this month is') and then you will be asked to put in responses (you put in 1. the details of finalist photo 1, in 2. the details of finalist photo 2...). At this point its a good idea to save the post to make sure all the details are saved. Then you can edit your post to put the photos in. Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Beastall 567 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Thanks Colin. I shall try it later on. Alan Link to post Share on other sites
