Congrats to Jats for winning the last round.

As Jats has not been online for a while, Joe (the runner up in our previour round) has come up with a great theme for this round


:sunshine:SUMMERTIME:sunshine:

The comp will close on Friday 18th Januray or as soon as there are 20 entries.

PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY
There are only 20 photos allowed in each competition unless otherwise stated in the thread.

Please place your photo into an online album, such as photobucket, and paste the link into your post. NO PHOTOS TO BE ADDED DIRECTLY TO POSTS PLEASE. If you're not sure how to do that you are welcome to pm TwoBlue or myself for assistance.

Here are the PHOTO COMPETITION RULES.
1. You may only enter 1 photo.
2. The photo MUST be taken specifically for the competition. You cannot use one you took previously. You cannot use a photo taken by anyone other than you. Anyone who submits a photo that is not their own will be banned from future bubhub competitions.
3. Photo Content - please ensure that your photo does not contain material that would be considered to be inappropriate. Photos of other people's artwork/photography are not permitted.
4. Editing - you can crop your photo, and you can change it to either black & white or sepia. No other changes are allowed.
5. Once an entry has been submitted you cannot change it for another. If you do this your entry will be removed from the competition.
6. The winner can choose the theme for the following round and pm it to either TwoBlue or myself. We will then start up the thread.
Please note - if your entry doesn't comply with the rules, we'll remove it and pm you so you can fix it or submit another entry (if there's still any places available).

The aim of the competition is to use your photographic skills. It is not a cute baby contest (although we all love cute babies), it's about taking the best photo you can, something with a little 'wow factor'. When you're entering a photo or voting, see if it has these type of elements:
- is it in focus?
- does it relate to the theme?
- does it have good composition (ie does the subject have their legs cut off, or is too low in the picture etc)
- is the lighting good?
- is it creative?

If anyone has ideas/suggestions for the comp, please pm TwoBlue or myself as we want to make this as fun for everyone as possible. HAPPY SNAPPING

I live in a really bushy country sort of area so there are some really nice veiws, this one was a great capture

OK, hoping it is sized right. :fingerscrossed:

My point and shoot digital is playing up. I have no autofocus so it is tricky to zoom to just the right distance. Anyway, about 60 photo's later, this is it-
