***Submission Thread for the October Photo Contest: The Textures of October***

SUBMISSION THREAD for the October Photo Contest. The October contest will be based on the textures we associate with the month of October: the fall season, the holidays (Octoberfest and Halloween).

Think of all the kinds of textures we see in photographs from October. It's fall, and there are many ways to interpret this. Use your imagination!

The submission thread will close at 4:00 p.m. on October 17 or whenever thirty photos have been submitted, whichever comes first.

Preliminaries will be posted in GD on October 18-21st.

Finals will be posted in GD October 22-25.

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 only, no comments. The Host will usually start a separate thread just for comments.

Please keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 300K in file size, unless otherwise designated by contest host. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.

Please do not use frames other than small point outline edges.

Post-processing is allowed but a light hand would be appreciated. If there are any questions about what that covers, feel free to ask.

Be sure to read the following before you enter a photograph:
