This was actually my first thought and since I work on a Marine Corps base I should be able to get at least one lol. I have an idea but need a tank...hmmm

Well - I am in if only so that I have something for the MS tournament. I had another idea but just didnt feel like taking the time to set it up. I hope mine qualifies as an oxymoron. It was on that big list but I felt many were borderline or a stretch at least.

I shot mine for oxymoron, but took that shot and entered into lighting. Strange how things work out.

I am using Picasa2 (yes, I know ...) and I have used the function called
"Soft Focus: Softens focus around a center point"
Does that violate spot editing in Basic? It is done over the whole crop of the picture, but obviously not equally all over.
I want to submit this picture but I do not want a DQ, so can someone please give me an answer that will hold up in DPCourt, please?
Just thinking of this, the world is filled with oxymorons. How about a "100% crop" :-)

Yes, the "soft focus" feature in Picasa violates the Basic editing rules. It is spot editing... sorry. :o\
Exhibit A: 
One of the many DQ's from the "Soft Focus" challenge.

Hi Roba,
You must be an "Honest Lawyer" - talking about oxymorons!
Thank you for your fast and precise answer, will reshoot with F/0.5 then to make the same effect!

Honest... yes. Lawyer... no :O)
Good luck with the reshoot - will be interesting to see how close you can get to the original try!

I wasn't happy with any lighting shots so I may enter oxymoron if I have time. I also plan to state my oxymoron in the title.
Edit: hmm, will we be judged as to whether the oxymoron really is an oxymoron? Maybe it's best to not bother with this one. I don't want to be voted down if the voters decide the phrase I selected isn't quite an oxymoron.
Example: Almost finished appears to be an oxymoron but if you consider "almost" is an adjective, then almost finished, or almost anything isn't a true oxymoron according to the //www.topskills.com/oxymorons.htm link listed above.
EDIT again: OK, Jumbo Shrimp falls into the "almost" category described above and it is used in the challenge description. Jumbo is an adjective too. I guess I'll stop over-thinking this and submit if I have time.
