Your Suggestions for the Creative Comp Guidelines.

What a lovely thought, BM! Bound to cheer us all up!! :D Have a lovely day too!

P.S. Can't help wondering how the little dash was going to lighten the thread, Nathan?? MAybe it's just me not able to see some photos again :rolleyes:

 

BACK ON TOPIC...

 

Nathan asked "Who has said they are not participating, apart from Wildflower and yourself on the forum ?"

Others certainly expressed that intent openly on forum. The comments were polite yet they are no longer visible. 'nuff said

 

me as a beginner both in gc and this forum i wood like to see all of you participating pleas

 

Nicely put, WOO!!

I have put 3 entries into the main photo comp this afternoon, and 1 into the creative one - so come on everyone, let's get back on course - onward and upward! :D

 

Well said WOO

A Positively perfect positive post :D

and I'm pretty sure you echo the sentiments of many contributors.

 

"Right On" WOO - I wish you and all many more hours of enjoyment.

 

Thankyou as well Woo for bringing a bit of warmth to this forum with your very wise words :D :D It has been a pleasure conversing with you on and off the forum.. and I am looking forward to many more happy conversations with you in the future and I can say that for 99.9% of the members on here :D :D who feel the same...

 

I agree too WOO, especially that this is a fantastic site and how it fills the hours
- too many at times o/h says!

But I am hoping to take part in the photocomp now that I am on Broadband
at last - although still having a few teething troubles.

It was wonderful to scroll through all the photos already entered without having
to wait about 20 or 30 mins for each to download.

Will now get the camera out ready for action :D

 

I would just like to say thanks to Dave W for clarifying things for me.
But I still think its over complicated and the same problems will occur over and over, especially when a new member joins and submits a photo to this comp.
Defining what you can enhance/alter, and what you cant, will always be a problem for people such as me who just play around with pictures and are not really "up" on the subject.
Having said that, I do not put those that have complained in the same "know nothing" category as myself.

 

lovely put woo, lets still have many happy hours on gc, I have been a member 7 months now and have had many happy hours on here and contact the many wonderful members on gc

 

Well observed Pete . It will all work out after a couple of months trial and error. Nothing in gardening is instant. It just needs a little nurturing ready for some cracking summer photography:D

Well done MF, you are doing a fine job, and I must say you have dealt with the last coupe of days with great restraint and dignity. You have all the BMs support, and we will be happy to provide as much help as you require in administrating these difficult and contentious parts of our beloved Gardeners Corner.

 

Pete, I think you should just enter photos and if in doubt post a query with the pics. No one at all will jump on you from a height if you've not got it right. And the more photos we all see the more fun we have and the more we learn.

Dave's Simplified Guide to the Rules (only a simpleton could produce these :D ) :

The "Original" Competition.
Don't mess with the photo other than to crop out bits you don't like. Add a simple border if you want to.

The "Creative Competition".
Take a photo and do what you like with it. You can take things out, but don't put any thing (i.e. image) in that wasn't there in the first place.

Relax, participate and enjoy.
