The Rules:

* The competition is open now and will close on 28th Feb at midnight.
* Competition may be extended depending on number of entries.
* 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 dimensions, 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 on images and content 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 something reasonable, i.e. no RAW images.

* 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.
* You will not be able to vote for your own entry.

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.

Voting:

* Voting occurs for one week from the 1st March until midnight on 7th March.
* After voting has finished the winner chooses the next theme within a couple of days.

Good luck

So.... rollover?

Did anyone submit an entry in time? I did but it hasn't appeared.

+1

Another +1 here. Should be enough for voting.

I failed.

Too much going on of late.

Greetings all.

Quite an odd thing really but I've been living in my own little world recently, or so it seemed. I've been merrily posting entries in the competition thread and then noticed that nobody else was posting anything at all. I made a couple of comments in the most popular threads, and yet a few days later mine were still the latest posts.

It seems to be working now since swapping browsers, but the posts I had made are lost in the ether. The whole situation reminded me of Four Past Midnight, without the Langoliers. Well except a brief conversation with Mark that let me know the issue was at my end.

Anywho, I have three entries that I'll post up now. Hosting has been switched to photobucket as imageshack want a pound of flesh now.

Are you starting the voting thread then?

We gotta vote!

Yesteryear's Aviation Tech

Sorry, hadn't seen the comments re: voting. I had decided on a rollover after being delayed into March and not having received two of the original three entries.

Is that a Blackburn Buccaneer I can see there?

Hmmm. I wonder which of us could possibly have taken that.
