Weekly Theme - Surrealism

by Ross S. on Sep 5th 2011

Elke won our previous theme of Rainbows, well done to her! She has kindly picked the theme of Surrealism, this should be a great one for people to get in to, i'm really looking forward to it.

I hope everyone will have fun with it and that they'll let their fantasy flow, the possibilities are endless.
To give a hit of what can be done, this is a website with some examples of surreal photography

To have your photo considered tag it with the tag theme-surrealism and you'll be entered in to the draw next week.

I will also please request that people DO NOT post their photos in this thread, it confuses people in to thinking their photo will be added to the theme, photos posted on this page, will not be entered in to the theme, only those photos tagged correctly.

Thank you.

-------------------------
Entry to this theme starts on Monday 5th September and will accept entries until Sunday night (23:59 GMT 11th September). 5 finalists will be chosen next week and we'll start voting on Wednesday.

Entries must have been taken and uploaded this week only! Entries outside of the date range will not be accepted in to the final 5.

I honestly have no idea what surrealism actually is. I guess I'm kind of stupid.

@prttblues surrealism is an art form (mostly writing and visual arts) that started during WWI. Here is an actual definition of it. There are tons of articles and examples online about surrealism. But, this is an actual small definition of it:
