    The challenge this month is to submit an image associated with Valentine's Day or Pancake Day...which are on Monday 14th February and Tuesday 1st March....usual rules apply.

    Please feel free to be as creative as you like, colour, mono, narrow or wide depth of field, bright or dark, natural or artificial light.......it's totally up to you.

    Please enter, you have two events to focus on....if you get to valentines and suddenly remember the challenge then you can always have a go at pancake day.

    Judging will be based on :-

    * fulfilling the brief
    * a good photo based on composition, focus and consideration to the light.

                    Thanks for all the entries...I having reviewed all five I have chosen a winner.

                    The first entry was an excellent image of a single rose by Farida, beautifully arranged with nice colour and detail, expertly shot with a completely black background.
                    The second by Springfield photo was a direct challenge to the first....having spent a little more money at the florist it is excellent in every aspect
                    The third was not a Rose but submitted by Rose / Lavenderhill...a nice objective shot of a love spoon (I think), superbly executed with good control of shadows and clean background
                    The fourth by tesarver is subjective, a nice shot of an event in celebrating valentines
                    The fifth and last entry by Daisy M old folks valentine humour

                    And the winner is......drum roll......Valentine Day Bouquet by Springfield Photo....
                    Second place....A Red rose by Farida
                    Third place - Valentine by Lavenderhill
                    It was hard to split first and second but I think the reds were managed a little better in the first place shot....so congratulations Springfield Photo....I look forward to the next challenge after you've finished celebrating your win..
