• No Voting for yourself!
  
• Photos should be within the limits, which means - not bigger than 800x640 and 350 kb.
  
• The winner chooses the next week's theme. If someone wins twice in a row, the person they voted for chooses the next theme.

erm im sorry but i dont unterstand...what do you mean with urban environment? has it to be only a industrial/historical/normal city house? or a park in the city or what?

[Car Freak]

Ah, that's the joy of photography, it's up to you to interpret the theme ;)

[hpluls]

Might change this... It's an abandoned building in my town. Taken today.

 

[oldi]

This is a picture of the city, where I live:)

[yoe_driver]

I will give a try here but i'm not a good photographer, hm...interesting photo

 

 

@edit: ah..it was taken in Warsaw city Poland, "Trasa Siekierkowska" entry viaducts. Very old HP 3.2 MP in use.

 

@HappyTreeFriend - nice shot! i love this city & mountains region, uwielbiam to miasto - dawno temu byłem tam ale planuję odwiedzić jeszcze raz ;)

[Baldy]

Interesting theme, I'll see what I can do

 

For now to tantalize you're eye buds, here's one I took earlier

Haven't been in this competition (for a while or never at all)!

 

This one was taken on August 1st, 2009 in NYC.

 

By the way, I'm the worst photographer in the WORLD!!!

[Car Freak]

Couple of nice entries guys, although HTF, i don't think yours fits the theme.

[Variodical]

Don't think I'll get to go to the glitzy parts of the city, so here's my humble entry:o

Thanks :D Ja tam już drugi rok z rzędu byłem ;) (It's the second time in a row I've been there).

Hmm... I might take a new one today ;)

[CarboyZR1]

I went through my emails this morning and found a "TDU 505" saying that my photo can't be used due to the day it was taken ; the rules say photos should be from within the last month. Is my photo definitely okay?

[TDU 505]

It used to be "Photo has to be taken after the theme was announced"

 

But for some reason the rules on the 1st post state otherwise.

 

I honestly don't know which to follow, but i guess follow the rules on the 1st post.

[Car Freak]

To be honest, for this week it really doesn't matter when the photo was taken... Alright I suppose some form of limit must be in place: Any photo taken in 2009

[Baldy]

Would anyone class a Zoo as urban?

[mistermojo]

If you're going to do that you might aswell have no limit at all.

 

PhOTW is becoming more about rules and less about taking creative and interesting photos.

[Baldy]

I agree, does it really matter when the photo was taken, it should be about the photo itself, the more people that use archive will encourage other people to go out and take more creative photo's to try and get 1st place, plus it will also encourage more entrants

[Car Freak]

I personally do agree with that, it's just that Speedtouch and Koeni didn't seem to... The enforcement of the date of the entry certainly contributed to the lacklustre response PhOTW has been getting recently

Does this fit "urban" ?

It's my first entry ;)

But does someone know how to get the Filesize down, cause every pic I make, is over 600kb? :S

Thanks ;)

Oh 1 solution is to open your picture in Paint, then go to Save or Save As and either overwrite it or save it as another copy and the picture should be drastically reduced in size without significant loss in detail ;)

Or you can open the pic in IrfanView, GIMP, Photoscape or any other free program and save the pic at the quality of ~90% or smaller. I recommend the last of these mentioned ;)
