I don't know - hundreds of topics to choose from but when it's actually my turn.....

Anyway, the topic for April is MUSIC

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.
* If you wish to remain anonymous even after voting has finished, then please let me know when you are submitting your image.
* Ensure you enclose a title and please make sure whatever host you use I can download the pic.

The Process:

* Please keep the image size to less than 1.5Mb
* Go out and take a photo, fitting in the theme and rules.

The Tips:

* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.
* Try to make everyone think about what they're looking at.
* 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.

I must admit I'm a bit stumped on this one

I've got a couple of ideas. Just need to set things up, which is a bit of a sore point round here as we're overwhelmed with clutter until after the weekend.

I have an idea, and will hopefully get it set up this weekend.

Whether it will fit with other people's view of the subject remains to be seen.

Best info for the piccy comps ever:

Personally, the sound an aircraft makes when in full burner is music to my ears.....

+ 1

But raise it

to the sigh of a Merlin in a flying Spitfie

Two Merlin's in a Mosquito.
(Four in a Lancaster dousn't count. They were slow and lacked the ability to "zoom past and roar")

At the risk of going O/T - this is an oft discussed issue and my conclusions are that the sound one Merlin makes on each of these aircraft on startup has to be taken into consideration when listening to each aircraft fly past in all their glory. Each has their own individual sound but for me, having flown in the Lancaster, it's got to be the sound of 4 Merlins in unison.

So, what's music to your ears? Answers in the form of a piccy to me please
