    Challenge 54 - Nature

    Hi all

    The title of the next photo challenge is "Nature"

    I mean this to be any shot that contains something that occurs in 'Nature' that in my mind covers which are living or have had a life of their own, plants, animals (yes at a pinch human animals), insects, landscapes etc. I don't think I can make it much more open than this, what I don't particularly want to see is architectual shots or man-made objects that have been derived from natural products.

    There are no restrictions on subject matter other than mentioned above - so exercise that photographer's eye and look at the world around us.

    I'm happy for your shot to lean towards the abstract, if you so wish.

    Like with Mike's previous challenge, I too am hoping this will give everyone the opportunity to take part!

    The standard competition rules apply:-
    •The competition subject shall be selected by the winner of the preceding competition who will also judge the competition.
    •The period of the competition shall be 14 days. The start date is Wednesday the 5th September and the finish is at midnight on Thursday 20th September.
    •One Picture per person; images should conform to general image posting rules.
    •Please use a Canon DSLR.
    •Posted images should be taken during the running period of the competition. Any images submitted that were taken before the competition started, or after the competition has ended, will be deemed invalid.
    •Images 800 pixels widest max (to help those with small monitors)
    •No Photoshop frames and borders.
    •Include a brief description, and title; the image must convey the theme without title description.
    •Please, no comments, on images until the round is over.
    •No canvassing e.g. “I’m thinking of posting this image for the challenge, what do you think?”
    •The guest ‘judge’ will pick 1st 2nd 3rd favourite images (Please don’t PM them to discuss their choices).

    Please include basic EXIF picture data as the administrator has requested I don't want to go digging in Flickr etc. to try and find it.

    It's just for fun, so enjoy yourselves!

    Good luck!
