[odklizec]

Thank you all who participated in the May contest (you can vote >here<). Let's start with the June contest!

Theme:
The theme for this month, selected by previous month winner (Astonx), is "UP CLOSE"!

Rules:
You must post one photo right in reply to this post. Please, do not link them from other sites! Use the "Upload Attachment" instead.
The photo must be taken with Ricoh camera!
The max size of the photo is limited to 1200x800 and must contain EXIF!
Please guys, make sure your photo contains EXIF! Entries without EXIF will be disqualified! Tip for LR3 users, make sure the "limit file size" option is disabled during export!
Ricoh film camera entries (without EXIF) are allowed, but only from people with previous forum activity and history (some previously posted Ricoh analog photos).

In addition, the winner will be honored to suggest a contest theme for next month!

Good luck everyone!

PS: Please folks, give your photos a reasonable tittle! The best would be to enter the tittle in the "File Comment" box along with your uploaded photo. At the end of each month I'm hunting for the titles over your posts and sometime I have no other option than to use "unnamed", which is somewhat silly title
