OK chaps - apologies for my absence, I've been unwell. Thanks to Neil for collating the results for me and of course to Ron for winning
After a small delay, the topic for October can be announced as...... ***THE DARK***
The Rules:
* PM me your submissions.
* ONE photo per user, however you may CHANGE your submitted photo at any time up to the due date by sending me a PM.
* There is no maximum or minimum image size, we are not here to discriminate against hardware.
* Only very light editing is allowed. Adjustment of Levels, Colour Correction, Contrast, Sharpening and Cropping is allowed.
* This thread will be closed at the specified time (end of the month). No extra entries will be accepted, except under special circumstances.
* Entries breaking these rules will not be entered.
* The forum policy must be followed.

The Process:

* Go out and take a photo, fitting in the theme and rules.
* Post your entry to me by PM, I will host it and post it.
* When the due date passes, the entries thread will be closed, and a voting thread created to determine the favourite.

The Tips:
* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.

* Do what YOU think is right. Art is very subjective. What's great to you, sucks to someone else, etc.
* Title your work, it will make your choices more obvious
* This is nothing serious, have fun while you're doing it.
Voting:
* Voting occurs for one week from midnight on the last day of October until midnight on the 7th November 2010.
