    Roders has chosen the theme for this month, which is " February Free For All.. Garden/ Wildlife related"
    There have been various requests for the rules to be clarified, although the competition is of course based on the integrity & honesty of the entrants first & foremost...!
    I think we all want a fair competition.
    We all have very different cameras that take very different pictures, but 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.

    2. You can enter up to three (3) pictures.
