This month’s competition topic has been chosen by February’s winner, AB (aka Andy, aka ’The Boss’)
His chosen topic is ‘TEXTURE’ A topic which I expect will bring us a very varied basket of entries. Good luck to all, & to anyone who hasn’t previously participated I encourage you to do so.


Monthly Photo Competition guidelines (Please read)

* Each month a new competition thread will commence & all forum members are invited to submit their photos .

* Maximum of three entries per person.

* Multiple entries should be made in separate posts

* Each entry should consist of a single photograph & a short description only

* Comments pertinent to entries are encouraged, but please do not use this thread to engage in banter

* Photos MUST have been taken by the member posting the photos or members of their party.

* Any photo which has been a winner will not be eligible for re-entry in any future competition.

* Please do not post photos that are not entries in the competition.

* The winner of the month's competition gets to choose the following month's competition topic.

* All members are encouraged to vote for the photos they think should win. This will be done by pressing the 'Thanks' button located underneath each post. Toward the end of the month the date & time of competition closure will be announced. Following this time the thread will be locked & the 'Thanks' counted to determine the winner.

* 'Thanks' may be added or withdrawn at any time during the month up until the competition is closed.
You are welcome to thank as many different posts as you wish!

* In the event of a tied first place I will add a casting vote, except in circumstances where my entry is one of the tied ones, in which case I will withdraw my entry.

*Inappropriate photos eg, sexual, racist, violent etc are unacceptable & should not be posted.


Thanks for your cooperation

Do a google on 'texture' then click on 'images' for examples.

I've been (& still am) up to my neck in cardboard boxes with our move from Gippsland to Ballarat & have only just gotten around to having a peek at this months entries so far. What a variety of great pics! Well done everyone.

Don't forget that each member can post up to 3 entries, so if you haven't reached your quota, or are still thinking about putting in your first ........... I encourage you to do so.

Thanks to all who contributed to this months comp, either by entering, voting or both. We had a wide variety of entries in response to last month's winner's (AB) choice of topic. Strangely we had no entry from AB ....... He must have been too busy ............ can't imagine what with!

This months winner was another runaway - early voting saw TPC's dune shot build a base that was unassailable - well done TPC.

1st. Red Dune (Simpson Desert?) - 20 votes

2nd. Ochre Wall (West MacDonnells?) - 12 votes

3rd. A three way tie all with 9 votes.
Taslucas' texta. (Says as much about the voters as the entrant!)
GUtsy Ute's Sturt Desert Pea
Fracster's Dry stone wall.

Congratulations to all (even Lucas!).
I will post up the April comp in the next day or so once I've heard from TPC as to his choice of topic.
