Latest Photo Challenge: Cell phone photos
My colleague Eric Bauer, Boston.com's Information Architect who helps out with Globe Critiques here on RAW, bought his son a cell phone the other day that has a 5 megapixel camera. The quality of cell phone cameras has improved so much that I decided to run a Photo Challenge of cell phone photos.> Here's a gallery of your submissions.

November contest theme: Silhouettes
Silhouettes can convey so much emotion, drama, mood, mystery ... or even humor. But it's a challenging theme because
a) your subject will have to be in front of a light source, and
b) you'll have to set your camera's exposure for the light source, not your subject, so that your subject is underexposed. Your photo must be taken this month. An ice-climbing class for beginners at the North End of Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, N.H. (Globe Staff Photo / Essdras M Suarez)
