[odklizec]

Thank you all who participated in the July contest (you can vote here). Let's start with August contest!

Theme:
The contest theme for this month is "LEGS" (theme suggested by Mainiac - June contest winner)! The legs (one or more) should be taken from the knee down only (few centimeters above or below the knee are not a problem). Some examples:


I guess this month contest will be somewhat less crowded? But I'm sure there will be some nice entries?

In addition, the winner will be honored to suggest a contest theme for next month!

Good luck everyone!

PS: Please folks, give your photos a reasonable tittle! The best would be to enter the tittle in the "File Comment" box along with your uploaded photo. At the end of each month I'm hunting for the titles over the entire post and sometimes I have no other option than to use "unnamed", which is somewhat silly

This photo was taken this June in Jerusalem, during festival of lights. It was taken without a tripod.
Some after processing was taken with CS2.

Hi,

Title = The Struggle of Beauty Against Power
(how's that for a pretentious name?)
Camera = GRD
Location = Shinjuku, Tokyo.
In the background is the hulking, brutalist architecture of the Tokyo City Hall (Tocho, designed by Kenzo Tange in the late 80s, a.k.a., Japan's economic "bubble", and finished in 1991). I've always found the building, while undeniably impressive, intimidating and in a way Kafkaesque (you imagine a place like this housing an all-powerful bureaucracy answerable to no-one). Even the adjacent (so-called) "Citizen's Plaza" is stark and unwelcoming. Only the 8 bronze nude statues, in my estimation, add beauty to the scene. Hence my title. I tried to frame it to create the illusion of the statue and tower having similar heights, and the contest being far less one-sided than it truly is. One can dream...

Cheers,
