April Competition, open for entries
« on: May 09, 2005, 09:43:01 »
Hi all,

The April competition is open for entries, and in response to some questions I've received, some rules  :-\ ...

  • The picture you enter can be of any subject not only garden / allotment related.
  • It must have been taken by you during the month of the competition, so during April for this months.
  • I am limiting the competition to one entry per member per month.

Hope everyone understands and we continue to get excellent photographs entered.

Oh and lastly, good luck everyone.

Dan

Here's my entry. A tree on our allotment site, taken just before a rain storm hit. The white blossom seemed almost luminous against the threatening clouds.

This photo is of the Jimirah Beach Hotel, beach and marina in Dubai.  It was taken from the resteraunt at the top of the Burj el Arab where I was treated for my 50th Birthday.  Posh or what  ;D ;) ;D
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Couldn't you have just gone down the local Beefeater like the rest of us commoners?  ;D ;D :D

trying for something different. I have decided to withdraw my photo due to being classed a cheat. It doesn't make it any easier by at the bottom of your comments 'please don't be offended by my comments'.
My only intention was to try and show a photo that wasn't the norm. >:( >:(
After the kind words of encouragement I have decided to re-post my photo.
A big thank you to all.
 ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

A little bit of layer work in photoshop. You copy the photo onto a new layer, alter the way it looks, then blend it with the other layers. Still keeping the original photo underneath. Bit like a cartoon on clear acetate Glad you like it, as I said something different I appreciate wont be to everyones liking.
