For those who may not have engaged with this yet here's how it works. Each week a theme/topic is set.
During the week you shoot or process an image in that theme. and load it on the Flickr site. One image will be selected as the "theme pic of the week" and published in the following week's newsletter.
Why bother? The theme pic gives you an opportunity to explore and try out many different styles and types of photography. It increases the variety of images on our site and is an excellent opportunity to expand your creativity and photography skills and you get your picture in the weekly newsletter!
Please note this is not a competition. The image chosen each is selected to encourage and inspire us. It may be the most technical but could also be selected as the most unusual, the most creative, the funniest or the one that appealed to us the most. The pictures are selected by a different member of the team each week to ensure varied viewpoints.
This week's theme is The Rule of Odds.
The rule of odds states that, whenever possible, a composition should have an odd number of objects, not an even number of objects. So an image should have three flowers rather than two, and five people rather than four. The theory is that even number photos have a more balanced (boring) composition while odd number subjects give a more dynamic (exciting) composition.
For a good explanation and examples check out the links below.

We look forward to seeing your images. Don't forget to label your images on Flickr with the theme name.
