•Textures are NOT allowed. The aim is to have your piece as natural as it can be.
•You must also comment on your entry/entries, giving a brief explanation about your concept.

•You MUST provide exif data, either it is included with the upload under camera settings (to the right in your comment box) or you must manually write it in your comment box.
•I did not think I would be saying this but this is a photography contest, please do not take a photo of a painting you did or a traditional piece, or a screen shot, your image should be a photo not a photo of another genre of art.
Failure to comply with these rules will result in disqualification – without warning.
Guidelines
The aim of this contest is to portray whatever it is that makes you smile, get all tingly inside, give you butterflies, whatever it is that brings a smile on your face.
The challenge is that you will not only be showing us what makes you smile, you must also be able to make me (FaMz), Levi (BeehiveStudio) (and possibly other judges – you will be informed if more are added) and the viewers crack a smile. We should all be able to feel or relate to the same emotion as you do.

How to Develop Concepts
Some of these links may be witty or you might find them silly or humouros, but hey do whatever you can to get ideas. No idea is a silly one And no you don't actually have to include a smile in it, it doesn't even have to be from your perspective either, think beyond that, think beyond different.
Deadline
The Contest comes to an end on Friday, February, 27th 2009 - 11.59 pm PST
