Two legs may be good, but this week it's photos of things with four legs - or more.

Post until Monday noon GMT, 27 October 2025. Voting until noon GMT next day.

Photos taken with fixed-lens cameras only! Camera brand/model must be indicated.

Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host a new challenge.

To submit, put your photo title in the first line of the post, followed by your photo [ATTACH PHOTOS -> INSERT -> FULL IMAGE], and click "Post comment." Include additional EXIF data, if you like.

Enter just one photo.

Please - no "likes" or comments on photos until after the competition winner has been declared.


Rules

Camera: Any fixed-lens camera, all brands and models. Cell phones are also included. No DSLRs!
The image may be digital or scanned film as long as the original shot was taken with a fixed lens.
Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible except photos that have won other POTN competitions.
Size: Photo must be no less than 800 pixels and no more than 1600 pixels on the longest side, with no borders.
Post-processing: Do whatever you like and the voters will decide if it fits the theme.
Photo display: Photos must appear in this thread to be eligible.
Title your photo.
No commenting and no likes until the challenge has ended.
People may also post photos after the winners are announced.

Voting
Once the challenge is closed on Monday noon anyone may cast their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. People who didn't enter a photograph are also allowed to vote. 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point. Voting continues for 24 hours.


Hosting
1. The challenge host is the winner of the last challenge.
2. Once your win is announced, copy the sticky and start a thread in the Competitions forum with this title: Fixed-Lens Challenge #XXX: Subject
3. Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please.
4. If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.
5. The new host posts a new topic as possible after winning. Please post a link to the new topic on the last Fixed-Lens challenge thread.

Note: The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks.
