well done Sweetpea that was an amazing photo, very well deserved win.
I love the topic as well. Will start searching.

What a good choice of theme. Living so close to the sea, I might just get some decent ish photo's and be able to down size them!!

I took one the other day that might be suitable, better get it developed sometime soon!

Well done Sweetpea...lovely pic, glad it won for you.

Well, I have submitted my entry....couldn't wait.

Blimey Magpi, that was quick! I've got quite a few water pictures that I really like but I'm going to hang fire for a bit in case I get inspired!

You can always swop your entry if you change your mind, if you can't delete the picture yourself, just ask a mod to do it for you and submit another one.

Thanks for that info Col Kurtz.......I was itching to get my teeth into last months comp...not realising as a winner that I was ineligible....so I was raring to go.

I have quite a lot of sea pics but not many canal/river/stream ones.
I'm sure there will be many better pics, but hey....it's all about taking part...isn't it?

Col.Kurtz · #9 (**permalink**) 02-07-07, 19:02

Exactly!

I really wish more people would join in and post pics.
I enjoy seeing how people interpret a subject.

Yeah, but you can't force people. If you've any ideas to spice it up a bit and get more people involved feel free to post them up.

I was thinking of allowing people to post more than one picture...but then they might have votes spread over a number of photos and not have one with the most votes...if you get what I mean.

Maybe allow people to post a selection early on, but have to pick a 'final' photo for the vote - maybe this would stimulate more photography discussion?

In the old accyweb comp we were permitted to post 4 pics.......it gave more choice, but sometimes diluted the votes.
I think your idea about posting more than one image and then having a final choice of which to submit just a couple of days before the voting sounds a good one.

If anyone else want's to chip in and give their opinion feel free. I am coming round to this idea as long as we can make it work in practice.
