:siren: IMPORTANT UPDATE: :siren: I picked a dumb and bad theme and will now course correct. This month's content is open format, just post what you think is the best picture you took in May.

Sorry for the delay, I was struggling for a theme given our ongoing pandemic related shitshow. For May our theme will be isolation shelter doom Joy. No bummers!

RULES:
This thread is for posting pics & voting.
1. One submission/poster. You can change your submission as many times as you want, so long as you only have one entry when the voting begins! Edit your post to do this, please.
2. Single photos only - no video, triptychs, or multi-photo entries. Blending exposures into a single image (such as focus stacking, or HDR), is ok though.
3. Photos must be taken during the period of the contest. No pulling out old favourites!
4. Contest will be open until [at least] the last day of the month at 11:59 p.m. GMT after which voting will begin
5. Voting will continue until some time after that, probably the 2nd or 3rd.
6. Use good judgment/good taste if venturing into NSFW or potentially offensive territory. PM me or a mod if you have questions.
7. When voting, please use the spoiler tag.
8. In the even of a tie the OP of the thread selects the winner.

I or the mods reserve the right to amend the rules if needed.

This theme doesn't seem to be resonating with people, I'm considering just opening it up to "the best picture you took this month.' Thoughts?

It's hard to capture joy, a human emotion when everyone is isolating and trying to work how to avoid to killing our parents and while working around our own governments bad advice, I second the motion to change the subject up.

The idea was to make it a challenge but I'd rather see more entries. Anything goes!

I was just going to submit a photo of Joy Behar and call it good.

I've been having a heck of a time thinking about a way to capture Joy, but am enjoying the challenge so I'll probably stick with that theme. I figured the reason for the lack of participation was, in part, because you didn't link to the thread from the old one.

I had a picture in mind that I could shoot at home but it was a bit of a joke and probs not in the sprit of the joy theme.

I have taken one pic this month that i thought was half decent so I have something to contribute at least.

Qirex, just saw your edit and wanted to say that I wish I had the opportunity to photograph some joy but alas it seems in short supply.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos.

If there's a tie the more joyful photo will be the winner.

This is a good challenge, and I will either submit something fitting the theme or nothing at all.

I have been pretty uninspired this month, but I did finally get around to developing film I had stored in the freezer. So invoking the date of development rule...
