So “O” is off-theme. (3)Your subject can be either natural or factory made only. Modifying a coil/cable/wire or arranging objects to give a shape of an alphabet.. will be off-theme.

Though you can turn yourself up-side-down to get an actual alphabet.. Let’s have fun! Note: The object in question has to serve some other purpose (a building, a fence, abstract art, gravel, etc.). Pictures of objects that are MADE to be letters will be off topic. Also, if the letter in your photograph is not easily recognizable at first glance, please tell us what it is in the entry’s description. Thank you.

13. Make a wish
Contest goal:
We’ve had smoke contests before, but seeing 30 or more pictures of just smoke can get boring… So for this contest you must add something else to the shot that compliments the smoke and adds visual interest to the shot. One catch… No outdoor shots, we are looking for studio style shots for this one.
