Although you can still post (4 more days) your October contest photos, Thank you all who participated in the October contest (you can vote here). It's about the time to start with November contest!

Theme:
The theme for this month, selected by previous month winner, rikiki, is "HEAVYWEIGHT"!

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

This ball bearing is about the size of a cricket ball and weights over 2Kg (about 4.5 lbs), somewhat heavier than the bag of flour also in shot.

Error:

"The image must be at least 0 pixels wide, 0 pixels high and at most 1600 pixels wide and 1000 pixels high. The submitted image is 712 pixels wide and 1072 pixels high."




Why would a photography forum have a bias against vertical images?
