Monthly Photo Comp February 2014..!

My how time flies..!! Here we are at the beginning of a new month already.!
​

Jenny was our winner for December & she has picked a theme that could be very interesting & especially poignant for this month .. Jenny's choice of theme is "February's Cold Cold Heart".. A great theme for this month as I think we all want t be cosy at home still..
In Jenny's words....

So as always I am sure none of us can say we had no inspiration for this lovely theme..​

I know it is going to be interesting.. It is surprising what we have close by if we really look .. I hope there will be some very inspired photos if the past is anything to go by, so many familiar subjects to choose from, but how to interpret them best.... ​

​

Please post all discussions for this months pictures and about the competition... Here..​

The competition is of course based on the Integrity & Honesty of the entrants first & foremost...!!​

​

We all have different cameras & abilities and 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! ​
