First let me start by thanking David for running last months challenge, your efforts are appreciated. Also well done to everybody who entered and to Stephen and Rose for your podium.
As most of you will know a lengthy discussion took part around the lack of entries in the current challenge format and it was suggested that a new style would encourage more entries from other users who felt less confident. So here it goes....
The objective of the challenge is to submit your best image for a chance to win the accolade of the judges choice as the best submission, and bragging rights of course.
Rules of the challenge:-
* ANY picture taken within 3 months of the competition start date. So for this month, anything taken on or after the 7th October 2023 til the closing date of the challenge. (Technically giving 4 months)
* NO THEME, any and all subjects are welcome here.
* MUST NOT have been posted into any other thread on this forum at any time.
* Only the judges choice of best submission will be chosen. There will be no 2nd or 3rd place and the judges choice is purely based on which image impresses the most. It won't necessarily be judged on technicality or a persons ability.
* Feedback - completely optional for the judge at the time, but it is encouraged to help others realize why the winning image was chosen. This then gives those who aren't confident on commenting/critiquing the option not to, with no judgement from any members involved.
* And the normal stuff - Canon cameras only but not limited to digital. Any lens, any accessories, any filter and any editing allowed.
* One picture per member.
* Images 800 pixels widest maximum (to help those with small monitors).
* Image must include a title.
* Please, NO comments on images until the round is over. This is to prevent anybody's entries potentially getting lost among the comments.
* No canvassing e.g. “I’m thinking of posting this image for the challenge, what do you think?”
This challenge is purely for fun and enjoyment. I would strongly encourage all members to enter. If anybody who wins feels like they do not want the pressure of running the following months challenge then you don't have to. You can take the win and be proud of it and either hand the reigns over the somebody of your choice (which ever picture you think deserved to win) or it will land back to myself and I will run it again.
Let's give this a real try and iron out any kinks along the way.
This competition will end on the 7th February at midnight. Good luck everyone!
