Thank you all so much for voting for my landscape reflection picture! The entries were all great, it's an honour to be hosting this challenge! Thanks to Kiran for hosting the challenge, I'm sure about to learn how difficult it is choosing the finalists!
The fun part of the challenge is you do not know what words you will get and then you have to let your creativity flow. I hope you all have fun.
Here's how it works:
Go to the "Browse" section and then select the "By Tag" link. Close your eyes and randomly click on a tag. Do it again (and no peeking)! These two tags will become your photo assignment. You will then use your two randomly chosen tags as an inspiration to create one picture that encompasses both tags. Please CLEARLY state your two tags when you post your entries, as this will let me know what your assignment was. You may submit more than one entry.
For this challenge, if you chose a set of words that you feel it would be impossible to do anything with, rather than skip the challenge all together, you may opt for the host’s tag words of “Ice” and “Family” (selected randomly as above). I know... but that's the fun part of this challenge.
Start of challenge: Thursday, August 1st, 2013
End of challenge: Friday, August 9th, 2013, 23:59 CST
Voting starts: Saturday, August 10th, 2013, 00:00 CST

The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries. The winner will host challenge #80.

@ikamera my husband caught me trying to take photos of a pile of dust+cat hair for the mundane challenge once - he just turned round and walked out without saying a word !
@ikamera What cool tags to get, I would have loved those! @wenbow Should be able to work with those easily enough! @teamquavers Autumn is not so easy for some, we are about to go into spring! @gozoinklings Those are cool tags. @la_photographic Looking forward to seeing what you come up with
This will be my first tag challenge, sounds like fun so I think I'll give it a shot! I got bokeh and garden, so I think I know what I'll be doing on my photo-walk this afternoon. :) hehe
@silverlight Ooh, I would have liked that one! Though my dog has been sort of fed up with me recently since I've been sticking my camera in his face while he's napping! :)
@silverlight What a bargain! @tracys Looking forward to what you can come up with. @pamknowler Pam I'm sure you can ace this. @picturedrox That looks interesting and should get some creative juices going! @handerle It certainly can be a whole lot of fun! @ragnhildmorland Well now that's an interesting combo. @taffy Those are cool tags to have! @mzzhope Looks like a bargain to me!
Leaves and nature. Thank God they can go together! Don't know if I did it orthodox this time, but I was tired of landing between tags and trying to guess which one I "got." So I kept closing my eyes and landing and clicking until I had two that actually clicked through to their linked pages, so I was sure which tags I had genuinely landed on.
Well, here's my first one! I will be posting another one or two tomorrow. I got so many good shots! :) I did it right away because I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow (camping!), and won't be back until next Friday.
BTW, my tags were Bokeh and Garden, I don't know if I have to restate them or not.
@handerle I think it's a good idea to add what your tags were so anyone scrolling through will know exactly what you were working with. Very cool capture btw. I like all the different greens and the flare.
Here are my last two entries! I wish I had gotten into this tag challenge sooner, it has been so much fun! I got so many cool photos, it was hard to narrow it down.
My entry for Dog and Portrait. Not an easy picture to take as she is a lounge lizard and flops down into relax position or turns her back. I will try and get another shot before the entries expire (don't hold your breath though)
@silverlight That dog looks super comfortable! @misterkitty those are really cool tags @ikamera very nice answer to your tags @megstorey welcome back. Around where I live those tags would be great to work with.
