I think to put it into categories would spoil the competion completely. I wouldn't want to see only close ups of flowers or veg. I like the fact that,for instance my pic of banger racers was in amongst a magnificent seagull , a big wet nosed bull and whole load of flowers. It competed on an even stage. The competiton reflects the interests of all the people who take part in this website. I strive to include something different every time in order to create interest and an element of fun. If my banger pic or Dan's football fans for example, were stuck in a "everything else" category they probably wouldn't be viewed as much because people generally will go to the wildlife and flowers.
I mostly find pics of individual veg boring so if the first winner of this comp had been in a veg category I would not ever have had a look and therefore missed a great picture.
Get out and take pictures,you don't have to restrict yourself to the garden or lottie. Reflect life in all its corners. Tell you what I saw today...a lone oriental poppy growing out from a wall, by a set of garages on a not so pretty estate. What category would that go in ?
