Topic of this month's theme is quite simple. You need to take a shot which presents at least 2 people. Not big deal. It could be a shot of a happy couple, your family, friends, group of people etc. I hope to see your creativity and I wish you luck with capturing the 'right' moment.
Here are a few examples, captured by some of you:
Taken by jorji
Taken by Felimenta97
Taken by davidsic
Taken by etaab
Taken by Sean72
Taken by NOZ
Taken by plankgatan
Taken by tammse
Taken by cu015170
RULES
1: Pictures must be taken with a mobile phone by that member.
2: Only 1 photo with allowance for only 1 change.
3: No archive photos and photos must be taken in February 2013.
4: Post full size photo here
http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/ and post a link to that photo
5: Picture post processing not allowed
Happy Hunting!

Congrats, 9!
This theme should be easier than any others. It is up to us how we decide to capture them.

Cool theme! Though choosing which photo to vote at the end of the month will be hard, I bet.

Nice theme.

Sorry mlife but I don’t agree with your point of view. Numbers of that bus are visible, especially when you click into the picture. I guess that people who voted on my pic had no problems with recognizing at least one of that figures. In other words I think (and not only me) that my picture meets the requirements of the competition.
When I saw theme opened by hihihans I knew that my concept will be based on LED numbers situated on the back of the buses. It wasn’t easy to capture such shot but I had a hope that it could be something far different from other entries. I’m always trying to put something called by you as 'artistic' in my pictures and I don’t want to change it.
I also guess that you are frustrated cos if not that bus your wine story would be the first and that is the main reason why you’ve put that post.
No apology necessary as everyone is entitled to their opinion/point of view. I however feel it is no different than being invited to a bike race and bring a motorcycle.... arguing that it is indeed a bike, just one with a motor.
Again, show that picture to ten strangers and ask what the theme of the photo contest was... ... A good image, YES/no doubt!!.... a good representation of the theme, not by a long shot.

"represents at least 2 people"
So, I can submit a picture of a car???? takes more than one person to build a car...
I can shoot a picture of clouds... I'm sure at least two people have looked at the clouds....
Sushi??... I'm not the only one that has ever eaten sushi...... am I?
A hand grenade.... someone throws it and I'm sure not at themselves...
how far off course should I go here to make my point and at what point do you have the right to tell me my "artistic" vision is WRONG.. If I take a picture (of ANYTHING) and someone looks at it, doesn't that image now "represent" two people, the artist and the audience.....?? hence the reason picking a theme should simply be done away with all-together or should be more strictly adhered to.

Please mlife, cool down.
you made your point and to a certain level I agree with you. However, the themes here at esato have always been a guide, not a rule. It's also up to the theme maker to let us know how tight the rules are. I wanted a number visible somewhere in the photo. I remember "fire" where a reflection was banned. The actual flames needed to be in the pic. I can also think that theme "red" wants a red subject, not the background.
for now it's"people". To many options to not participate.

@mlife: the photos posted in the last competition have one thing in common: numbers.
All those pictures have other subjects, but just a particular one. Once we're told what's the theme is about, we have to get our minds to use their creativity. In this month's, we know what should appear in the photo.
