    :gnthb: Well Victoria was our very well deserved winner last month with her superb photo of the " It's a New Dawn, It's a New Day "..[​IMG]

    Victoria has chosen an inspiring theme for this month...
    "APRIL SHOWERS ... APRIL FLOWERS
    " & in Victoria's words.. " Perhaps it could be rain in the woods or garden or just beautiful flowers in the garden or wherever... April opens up the Blooming season.".!!

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

    [​IMG]So come on everyone get your thinking caps on..!!

    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!

    No enhancement at all (other than a crop). Taken against the light of an overcast sky with deliberate over exposure
