Title: Flimsy Wings Derby! (Photo Contest) coming to the first turn

1st place winner will recive a wing of their choice. I can also make a special pair for them as well:) AND a knitted item of their choice. Check out trades for pictures. http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,381689.msg1576786.html#msg1576786
2nd and 3rd runner winners will get to choose a custom wing that is already pictured, or a custom knitted project of their choosing. Or only shipping cost on specially made wing design.
All Contestants receive a huge discount on any items they see in my sales/trade. So if they want a $10 wing and participate it might be a $5 wing. Then they can trade for the wing with a $5 value or less.
Shorten rules of the Derby. 1. One flimsy wing pony per contestant. And the contestant has to use the same flimsy wing pony for all photos.
2. Each round hase a theme. After a round, we loose 1 flimsy wing from the derby. (This used to be 2, but with low entries we go down one.)
3. Votes are only important to the round. So once round one is over, all remaining flimsy wing contestants will start the next round with 0. The last round has a surprise element that will be described at the end.
4. New to this is contest is the wild card. I love pictures, so even if you are not entered you can be asked to enter the last round! You can be a great cheerleader for our contestants, or post pictures right along with us. Even if you were dropped out of the race you can come back in for the last round!
Here they come, approaching the first turn, they are neck and neck, wing and wing, who will take stride in this first turn
Theme 2 Rianbow. This can be a group or solo picture. This picture can have all the colors, focus on one color, or a few colors at a time. As long as we look at the picture and say that is a picture representing color/rainbow. Photo due Jan 20. Voting starts Jan 21. Voting ends Jan 25.
And we are to the first turn and #2 is in the lead!!!!

This cave has 3 magic pillars that can become any color Sky Dancer desires, and nothing gives her greater happiness then touching the rainbow stone that activates the pillars and watching them change colors. Sky Dancer loves all the colors of the rainbow and often makes each pillar a different color just for fun.

This was going to be my Twinkle/Sparkle picture but I'm not sure it's sparkly enough.
Edit: I'm going to try something else. :) Picture to come.

Here's my photo for Twinkle/Sparkle I'm not completely happy with this photo either but it did turn out nicer than my first try.
Sky Dancer loves sparkling things and was so excited to show off some of her collection. Her favorite things to collect are beautiful crowns and she has a secret pool full of sapphires where she sometimes finds her new crowns. She also loves to sculpt bears out of the colorful shimmering sands by the waterfall. She even has a sparkling castle.

Thank you Crowning_Glory. :) I'm just having a hard time capturing the twinkling/sparkle on camera.
I can't wait to see who won the Rainbow round.

Ugh, I hear you about trying to capture the twinkle on camera, Ponyfan! I went through so many different ideas only to have them all fail me once I took the picture! I think I finally have a photo I'm happy with though. Your photo is adorable as well, I love the sparkling bears! visitors can't see pics , please register or login (https://flic.kr/p/FDWUAs) Glow was out for a flight at her favorite time of night when suddenly among the starlit clouds she stumbled upon a perfectly captured piece of the sky to bring down and show her friends! She feels it shows perfectly why she loves to stay up and fly among the stars every night.

My sparkles didn't really show up well either. The flowers are supposed to be glittery, but oh well. They look so sparkly IRL but on camera... nope. I am happy with how it turned out though :) Sky Dancer looks so cute with her bears, and Glow looks beautiful!
High Flyer looked out her window and saw the northern lights outside, so she decided to take a midnight stroll through her glittery rose garden twinkling with the glow from the sky.

Thank you Minty_Magic, Crowning_Glory and Safflower. :) The Bears are actually blind bag Care Bears that I turned around. My first idea was to have Sky Dancer surrounded by rhinestone crowns but when I took the picture the twinkle/sparkle didn't come through on the photo well.
I love Glow and High Flyer's photos. :)

Twinkle is such a challenge to capture...I tried my best, though! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Although there isn't any snow left, there is still plenty of ice. Sun Glider inspected the bottom of a slab that was coated in blue glitter, trying to see who had left it. Did this have to do with the blue pony in her dream? No, it couldn't be...

Rosedust, with her glitter-adorned wings, sitting in a train car full of "gold". The sparkle of her glitter didn't photograph too well even with flash, but the gold on the other hand..

Here's my entry for the Sparkly contest !
Morning Glory was on an adventure to find how her wings have been mysteriously brought back to her after so many years. Turns out she finally found this gem and glitter filled place, which might be a big hint for her quest. She stayed for a while, admiring the rainbow shift happening inside some of those unique flasks.
