    :gnthb: Naylors Ark won last months comp with her superb photo " Snow Cart"..!! [​IMG] What a cracking shot ...!!!!... :thmb:

    :) Naylors Ark has given this some thought & come up with a really good theme for this month.. Her choice is
    "
    Old Stones"..! :D A very welcome & different theme this month... :yho:
    In Naylors Ark's words..
    " I had some trouble thinking of a theme for February. There's not much in flower yet and it's still dark and gloomy a lot of the time. So "Old stones" could be interpreted as stone walls, houses, wells, bridges etc... " :gnthb:

    :wink: So again, I am sure none of us can say they have no inspiration for this theme..!! :wink::lollol:


    It is going to be interesting I am sure as this is such a broad & interesting theme for you all to interpret & I am sure there will be some very inspired photos if the past is anything to go by..!! :idea:

    [​IMG]So come on everyone get your thinking caps on..!! :wink: There is allot of scope with this topic. So lets see what we can
    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!
