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.

* Entries breaking these rules will not be entered.
* The forum policy must be followed.
* If you wish to remain anonymous even after voting has finished, then please let me know when you are submitting your image.

The Process:

OOooh interesting. I'll have to try and give this a go.

Can the powers that be, please sticky this.

Renaissance? Even bringing it down to the lowest denominators such as rebirth and revival don't really help much at the moment.

I have an idea, I always do. It's just that sometimes, such as last month, that it doesn't mature too well.

Ooo

Sadly, unless I get something tomorrow, I may have to sit on the sidelines for this month.

Bit of a poor turn-out this month.

Unless Al has been inundated with, and buckled under the weight of, a horde of last gasp entries.

dont even know what renaissance means

Have you heard of those things with lists of words in them. They're called "dictionaries", and you can look words up to find out what they mean. You can do the same thing on the internet.

This needs to be un-stickied for the February competition.
