Weekend Modeling Photo Challenge "Multiple Units" Ends Tuesday February 23rd. **EXTENSION** Due to the case of the Mondays, I made a big goof and posted the poll too soon. We got all that fixed, but for the majority of Monday morning, this contest was marked as closed. Because of that, it was suggested to extend this contest another day. Now anyone who might have wanted to post Monday morning can get a chance to do so. The entry deadline is now Tuesday February 23rd at mignight (UTC -11)! Lets see those lash-ups! *Please read all rules as they may have changed from previous weeks* If you notice a typo, error, or confusing statement, please notify user Mark Watson immediately for correction and clarification. Modeling Photo Challenge Topic: "Multiple Units" 1. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!! 2. The entry deadline is Midnight (UTC -11), Tuesday February 23rd. Late entries will be accepted up until the official "Time's up!" post within the thread. 3. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between Friday February 19th and Tuesday February 23rd. Please use the challenge as a motive to take a new photographs! 4.

Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged. 8. Please use the Cutting Room Floor thread for related but ineligible images. 9. A cleaver and distinctive title for your image helps identify it among voters.
