March 2009 Monthly Photo Comp..!!

:gnthb: Well Ivory was our very well deserved winner last month with her superb photo of the " Hand in Hand "..

Ivory has chosen an inspiring theme for this month... "Nature Awakening" & in Ivory's words.. " Nature awakening after winter sleep" (plants animals and so on)," In praise of that time of the year when every tiny unfolding bud is more precious than a flower."...

:thmb: It is going to be interesting I am sure as this is such a broad theme for you all to interpret..

So come on everyone get your thinking caps on..!!
There is allot of scope with this topic. So lets see what we can all do..!!


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!
