As leaked in another thread :roll: this months theme is:

***BRIDGE/S***

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.

I think it's always best to get the new theme out there as soon as possible, that way we can allow for you to be too busy to post the official thread but peeps can still be thinking of what to do with the theme.

I was driving to work one morning last week, it was still dark out and I passed over the M40 on my way to the M42. As I went over the motorway, I spotted someone, standing on the bridge with tripod set up etc, taking a picture, and I thought to myself "what are the odds that they're a member of X404 entering the photo comp?"

Then I saw "Overpass" and am wondering even more now :D

Now if only you'd stopped and photographed the bridge *and* the x404 member photographing the bridge ... ;)

Overpass has a tenious link to Bridge/s but in the spirit of the comp I have allowed it.

I however will not be voting for it because there's not a bridge in the pic :o

It looks like there's one in the far distance. Perhaps the title should be "View from a Bridge"? It's certainly an angle I've entertained in my planning for this comp.

In fact, I've done enough planning. I just need to get out and take the frickin' photo! :lol:

Even with my puter specs on I struggle to see what's in the distance :roll: Call me old fashioned if you like but I think the predominant feature in this case should be a bridge (of some sort) <- clue!!! ;)

I wonder what Anon has up his or her sleeve for this month :D

There's a photo, taken from a bridge, with a bridge in the far distance. It's within the rules as I see it. It certainly made me think about the image and how it related to the theme. :D

I don't think there's any point arguing about it. Now, where's me tripod?

*dashes out to take her photo*

Every month pics get votes that I can barely relate to the topic. Go figure.

Does it really have to have a bridge in it to be allowed in?
Like you, many people just won't vote for a photo if they think it can't be related to the theme.
