    Animal,Vegetable (inc. Flowers) or Mineral..."CLOSE UP"......


    Well Roders was our very well deserved winner last month with his superb photo :thumb:
    Roders has chosen a theme for this month that is going to be interesting I am sure.!! "Animal, Vegetable (inc. Flowers) or Mineral ... 'Close UP'..." & as Roders says " Plenty of scope there I think" :D

    So get those thinking caps on.. There is alot of scope, as Roders says with this topic, so should give us a very diverse set of pictures.

    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.


    Please follow the guidelines below:-

    1. All entries to be submitted by 23.59Hrs on the last day of the month of the competition.
