    [​IMG] Last months very worthy winner was Marge. A striking photo again from Marge..! From a beautiful photo to start with!! [​IMG]

    Marge has chosen a very different theme for this month.. "Time" .. This should certainly get those "little grey cells" working!!!!! [​IMG]

    I think there are many ways we can interpret this theme. ;)
    [​IMG] So Let's see who will come up with a pic to "wow" us all with then.. :D

    A competition for enhanced photographic images.


    For Photos taken within the given month, enhance/improved with the use of post picture processing software.

    Reasons you may wish to enhance a photo could be to compensate for mistakes made when taking the photo, or indeed to change its atmosphere completely. For example reverting to black and white or maxing out the contrast for a really vibrant sunset.

    To ensure we have common starting place for competing, a few ground rules have been established. These will ensure a common standard of submission and ensure photographs are comparable for voting at the end of the month

    Please follow the guidelines below:-

    1.All entries to be submitted by 23.59Hrs on the last day of the month of the competition.
    2. You can enter up to three (3) pictures.
    3. Give your picture a title
    4. Post your pics within this thread for entry into the competition. Pics posted in other threads will not be considered
    5.Pics have to be taken within the current competition month

    6.You CAN use software for enhancement or manipulation of a single original image . This may include submission of an image comprising multiple layers of the original image.
    Any image deemed to be more than one single image of multi layers, will be deleted.. Mods decision is final.

    7. The winner will be decided by votes by the users of the forum.

    8. The winner of the competition gets to choose the theme for the next month's competition. This theme is to be kept a separate & different theme from the" Current Monthly Photo Comp" theme.

    Please post discussion for this months pictures and about the competition HERE


    The very best of luck to you all this month !!
