Please post your submission for the August Contest Here. This thread is for Photos Only. Relevant photographic data may also be included at your discretion. Any comments should be posted to the "Comments" Thread.

August PHOTO CONTEST
Theme: TEXTURE

Texture:
1) The visual or tactile surface characteristics and appearance of an object

2) "something that invokes a sense of feel, emphasizing how something would feel if you were touching it, smooth, rough, soft, prickly, ripply, whatever." (thanks, Blue)

BASIC CONTEST/CHALLENGE RULES:

Only one entry per person. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the Host of a contest/challenge. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries and data relevant to the photo only, no comments. The Host will usually start a separate thread just for comments.

Please try to keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 200K in file size. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.

The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest), and pick the next month's theme. Typically the winners have not been able to enter a photograph in the next contest. Be sure to read the following before you enter a photograph.
