    News Photo Competition - May *Photos ONLY*

    This month's competition theme as chosen by cosmicma is "Flight or Fancy".
    (You can interpret this however you like eg. something in the air, something flying, something running or even something you fancy )

    NOTE: This thread is for photos ONLY

    Closing date will be the 24th.

    The winner will receive a £25 voucher for shopneo.co.uk (Courtesy of Raptor)
    .

    Please read the rules below before posting your entry.

    Rules:

    • Must be your own work.

    • Only 1 entry each.

    • Entries can be changed once during the competition if you feel you've taken a better shot, but please make a separate post with the new entry and edit out your old image from your previous post, to keep things in the correct chronological order.

    • Max file size 800x600 250KB. (There's info on optimising your image size in the sticky of the same name)

    Pictures to be embedded into your post in this thread rather than attached. (Use a free image host that allows hot linking such as imageshack or photobucket and encase the direct link in [IMG][/IMG] tags. There's a quick guide on how to do it here)

    • Entries should to be taken for the competition rather than entering a previously shot image.

    • Photoshop (or other imaging software) use is allowed, to enhance your image, but please remember this competition is about producing the best photo not the best piece of artwork.

    Right, I'll go first.
    This is a very similar pic to (1 of 3) of a tryptic I put on here last year, same kid, same location.
    Took this pic yesterday on my N95
    Levels/contrast adjusted on CS3 and pic cropped and resized to meet requirements of comp.

    You need to reduce the size of that mister. There is a guide at the top of the section.

    Down to the wire I know but here's my entry. Think it covers both flight and fancy. She's in fight he fancies her. Simple.
