Am I missing something? Also (and quite dangerously, no doubt) can anyone explain what the relevance is of picture 14 to this theme? Lovely picture, but I can't see how it fits!

A photo that admits it doesn't fit the category - and still it's a runaway winner. Could be a nasty precedent there... So much for "if it doesn't fit, don't vote for it"!:roll:

I'm certainly no professional (unless I'm a professional busybody!) and I'm lucky if I get one vote - but it's supposed to be fun, so I give it a go when I've something that fits. I generally just enter my favourite within the category - although I agree it gets very disheartening when all the...

So we know which picture won, and regulars know whose it is, but yet again we're kept waiting for next week's subject. Isn't it time a proper theme was compulsory?

Really like no 8 - and (typical female) I'd love to know how long it took to get the mirror clean enough!:D

An idea, or a cunning plan...?

I'd be interested to know other people's views - my partner and my son have entries as well as myself this week. My personal feeling is that I shouldn't vote for theirs (not that I wanted to this week), pretty much on the same basis that I can't vote for my own. Anyone else in this situation...

I personally prefer not to be in photos - purely out of concern for the camera! However, if the camera and computer can survive, I'm sure I can!:lol:

Personally I like the idea that amateurs like myself are up against professionals - it gives me something to aim for, and ideas on how to (hopefully) improve. The only problem I was having with the "chocolate box" look is the amount of time it takes on the computer - and it's then no longer a...

Couldn't agree more - another chocolate box picture. This is precisely why I haven't entered for the last couple of weeks - I haven't got the time (or inclination!) to muck up a photograph to create a picture like this, which, sadly to me at least, will probably win. Come on folks, this is a...

I love number 9 - reminds me of my photos, but I never yet managed to get the angle as interesting as that! Great shot in my eyes. Number 4 looks over-photoshopped to me - very much a chocolate box picture (sorry if i offend, I really don't mean to!)

Cor, just imagine the extra hassle for the moderators - not to mention the confusion for the rest of us: have I entered into competition 1? or 2? or was that last week? It'd certainly show who's organised among us - I get the feeling there'd be very few entries from yours truly cos I'd forget...

To please ladysue, you'd be better picking Essex - and as I managed to get an entry for this, and she didn't, I think it's her turn next! :D Thanks for the thought though guys!

Of course, we could always wait our turn - it's bound to come up eventually surely? - and in our turn, restrict the theme for others! Very tempting idea I must say - although as I live in Gloucester whatever you choose will probably be out for me, and vice versa:D Here's hoping for a more...

Yes, fine, I accepted that last week - but how often are those of us who had no decent camera until recently to be excluded? There are, after all, plenty of more open themes that can be chosen - how about, simply, HSTs. We also have a number of younger people on here - from my lofty age of 37...
