So here it is! This week's theme is feminine. No, it doesn't have to be a picture of a woman (although they are mostly feminine), it could be a picture of a woman's watch, shoe, a pink scarf, or even a cow or a ship... The choice is yours. Good luck!

Here are the rules as posted by Cedar..

First of all, please do not chat in this thread. If you have any questions please email me at phil@spirituk.net. This thread is for photographs only.

Hopefully you have read the above message, this is what you need for the competition. These are your instrucions for the competition.

You must stick to the instructions. If your picture looks like it has not been taken by following rules and you win, you will be asked for a RAW/JPEG original. The winner will be asked for a JPEG version of the file so we can check the time and date it was taken.

You have from Friday night/Saturday morning 00:00 until Sunday 23:59 to take your photo and post it up. Your photo must be on this site before Monday morning 00:00. No photo will be accepted if it is not on by this time.

At this time I will make a poll available as the last message on the thread. Anybody can vote, whether you have submitted a photo or not. You can only vote once as you polls remember IP addresses. You may also vote for yourself but I would hate to be the idiot that won off their own vote!

When the votes are counted I will ask the winner to supply me with a small original version so I can check the time and date on the properties. ALL SHOTS MUST BE TAKEN ON THAT WEEKEND FROM MIDNIGHT FRIDAY - MIDNIGHT SUNDAY. This makes it fair as the winner may have a good pic he took 2 years ago, making his life easy for the following weekend.

I will then officially post the Winners name. They must then add their Winning title "The Best Photographer in the World 22nd-24th Sep 06" (Weekend date you win) and start a new thread called:

Weekend Competition: The Best Photographer in the world (29th Sep - 1 Oct 06) and post your instructions. Your instructions can be anything, however easy or hard. Make your instructions fully clear.

Even though we may get all this done by Thurday 7pm, you can only start the comp in the given time. That makes it more interesting and fair.

I hope this is clear and I really hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend! Goodluck!

So here it is my first attempt!  Titled, Which One?

May I present Femme Silky!!! :

(In need of some simple PS cropping & cloning - but that is against our Weekend Photo rules, and hey, at least the leg & foot are also feminine!!!)

Okay, here's my entry, entitled 'Cosseted'. I'm not entirely happy with it, but it's better than nothing.

ManFromOz, I'm pretty sure that you're allowed to crop your pictures.

a very un feminine looking sandpit that had the lid left open in the rain..

My feminine attempt based on my bedroom window decor!!!

A girls best friend....

Might have a chance of winning with this hand..........

Heres my entry:

Well, it was the daughter's birthday this weekend so not much time for the camera. But here's a last minute, late hour submission. (I'm so ashamed to be photographing Barbies, but she's so compliant with instructions and the wife wouldn't pose -- Please don't tell anyone it was me that did it).

Now I have to get the doll back in the box before the little girl notices...and the flowers back in the vase.

Here's mine, spent a while fighting the settings in my new camera, got a bit to learn

EOS400D, 18-55mm kit lens.

Sorry for the delay.
