wow - decision making for who to vote for is going to be pretty tough this month!

Title: Re: March Competition
Post by: tim on April 10, 2005, 19:47:53

Brilliant, Glyn - & all the others.

But - should the photos not be of our gardens - rather than, say, Wisley, or Hidcote, or whatever??

Title: Re: March Competition
Post by: Dirkdigger on April 10, 2005, 19:59:04

Tim, why does it have to be of our gardens ? A photo of a plant in yours or my garden ? who cares, they are all great photo's ( Does it say anything anywhere as to the content eligibility ?) makes no difference to me if it has been taken at Wisley or at home, the photographer still has to capture the image for us all to see.

I assumed the competion pics would/should cover every aspect of this website. Allotments,gardens,nature,wildlife,humour,visits etc. It makes for a diverse range of pics,which are fab to look at and incredibly hard to vote for!

Well said Heldi, my sentiments exactly. :D

That's all I wanted to know - I misunderstood the brief.

It matters not to me - I'm not the competitive type.

GC - I've been to Sandown Park, though not for ages now. Did you have any luck there? I did once - had £30 for rail fare, entry, placepot, £1 ew each race and a glass of sherry and came home with £230!

Had a nice day out there - hadnt been for about 10 years. Had no luck though, but then again i dont bet much - i seem to jinx them when i do!  Sounds like a good day you had that time though ;D.

Once again i hat trouble picking out a picture for the comp, particularly garden ones. many parts of the garden werent looking that good back in march. A lot better/nicer now though. If I remember to take some pics this month I should have some nice ones. I think i ough to try and take a few with the competition in mind rather than just for general record-keeping purposes.

Well, I've short-listed it down to nine for my vote. How I'm going to get it to one, I don't know. Would love some of these on my wall as I sit here in my office!

Dawn, you dont have to narow it down to just one. You can enter two or even (I think) 3, if this helps!

I think Dawn means on the voting front! It is getting tougher to decide!

Oh yes, OOPS! I misread the post. ::) Of course you can only vote for one ;)

Yes it WILL be tough deciding who to vote for.
