The new Q4 2024 Member's Challenge topic is By the Hand of Man. Time: Q4 2024 Oct 1 to Dec 31 Topic: By the Hand of Man Guidelines: The subject of the photo needs to be made by man, not nature or AI. Acceptable subjects are things like cars, planes, pottery, toys, buildings, clothing and even people. Unacceptable subjects are things like animals, mountains, lakes, skies, and plants. However, an acceptable subject can have anything in the background as long as the main subject is obvious and dominant, eg a car with a background of a natural landscape. Have fun, Jim The photos need to be taken between October 1 and December 31, 2024 Send me (Jimmsp AT outlook.com) up to 3 photos taken during the quarter. Remember, any post processing is allowed.
