    :gnthb: [​IMG] Well here we are the beginning of a new month..!! Now I said I was making some changes this month so as to let you all have more time to take that photo you want to enter as the entries have dropped off a little recently...:D. :thmb:

    :) Alana came 2nd last month so I have asked her to give us a theme for May.. Alana has given this some thought & come up with a really good theme for this month.. Her choice is
    " Buds of May"..! :D A very welcome theme for this month... This is very different , we have not had a theme quite like this before & it hould generate some really good photos from you all & new people too..!! :yho:

    In Alana's words ..


    :wink: So again, I am sure none of us can say they have no inspiration for this theme..!! :wink::lollol:


    It is going to be interesting I am sure as this is such an interesting theme for you all to interpret, as the buds rally are bursting out everywhere now ..... :wink:
    I am sure there will be some very inspired photos if the past is anything to go by..!! :idea:

    [​IMG]So come on everyone get your thinking caps on..!! :wink: There is allot of scope with this topic, have a good think.. So lets see what we can
    all do..!![​IMG]:cool:



    The competition is of course based on the Integrity & Honesty of the entrants first & foremost...!!


    We all have different cameras & that is what having the competition is about... Our ability to take a good photograph, to improve on that if we can with each photo we take, interpret the months theme as widely & imaginatively as we can..... without editing enhancement! So good luck everyone!

    There will not be any prizes for this Competition, just the self-satisfaction of gaining and showcasing your photography skills.
