Title: April competition (yes it's back people!) - Theme = Spring.
Post by: Horney on 06 April 2011, 09:46: Rules.

1) Only one shot per person so choose wisely.
2) All shots no longer have to contain a VW.
3) All shots must be your own work
4) Photoshopery is allowed (But detail of what's been done included with submission)
5) A naked hottie will clearly win.
6) Details of equipement (Rig, Off camera flash etc) used should be submitted with entries.
7) Cut off date for entries is the last day of the month at 11:59pm.

All the above should help those voting judge the shots not only on their own merit but also allow those without any fancy gear a fair shot.

At the end of the month a poll will be set up to determine the winner. The winning person will recieve naff all apart from the warm fuzzy glow of being a better photographer for that month than anyone else, also thanks to a brill idea from Guy they get to chose the theme for a following month. Get cracking peeps!

Nick already explained - a warm fuzzy feeling. Don't worry though - you can tell your missus that Nick's warm fuzzy feeling will cool off and can generally be wiped off with a tissue. :grin:
