Assignment: "Dreams"

[Saralonde]

This week's assignment is "Dreams". Pretty wide open subject. Let's see how you use your creativity and imagination on this one!



And guess what?! We have another Crumpler 5 million Dollar bag to give away this week! These are great bags and I am totally envious of the winners here.
Thank you Crumpler Australia for your generosity!

As always, the rules...

1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 31st of December and the 14th of January (until one of our moderators closes the the mini-contest).

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Dreams" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (640px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

Next week's assignment? "Sleep". We all certainly need more of that and a nice tie in with Dreams.

I call it, "Pregnant People Can Be Sexy Too"

I'm really proud of this because my self-portraits rarely come out very well, and being 6-months pregnant, I don't always feel very pretty.

I also thought it would be good for this assignment because it has a "dreamy" feel to the photo.
