challenge 16 is now upon us. the theme is "the quality of light." now, i'm not sure i have the exact definition for this, but i'll go with what the united states supreme court said about pornography many years ago .. "i know it when i see it."

*** this is the thread into which you post your challenge entry ***

in challenge 15, i used a guest judge to help me pick the finalists (thanks jim fuglestad!) and i'm happy to say, that our own shay stephens will be guest judging challenge 16 with me. shay will help pick the finalists, and will also make comments on the submitted images and finalists' images at the end of the challenge.

some examples of "the quality of light"

here's one of my favorites by shay
from shay: "the quality of light I wanted here was the hard light that brought out the texture of the plants.." i really dig the crisp contrast too, of the sunlit areas and the shadow areas.

the light can be a supporting actor in the image

it could be a co-star

or it could be the main event ;-)

of course it could be "sweet light" in a landscape or the perfect little amount of light in a macro shot. it's really wide open, so have at it!

the change we made last challenge was well received, and so we're sticking to it: only one entry allowed into the main challenge thread. you may enter early, and change it any time you like, so if you have an image today and you want to enter it, fine. in a week if you think you've made a better image, by all means go ahead and replace. ***remember*** use the challenge 16 comments and critiques thread to have your images critiqued by your fellow dgrinners.

all of the other rules of the dgrin challenges apply, click here to review them

*** this is the thread into which you post your challenge entry ***

challenge 16 will close to entries on monday, july 12, 2004 at 12 noon nyc time.

enjoy (challenge) photography,
