The one i put on this morning, was taken this morning, only cos i was off to change my starter motor and remembered i had a load of old spanners lol

and why i chose the theme was to try and challenge myself (and others) to get out of "comfort zone" and take pictures they might not normally take.

I don't think its a case of own personal rules, more rules of the competition, I don't think it matters when the photo was taken, a good photo is a good photo, no matter how many times its been posted. The rules of the competition don't even say they have to be your own photos, so lets keep it fun and not really a competition in the strictest sense.

no it was only in answer to shrum, and that the rules of the "comp" are fine, but if you feel that only new photos should apply, then fine only post new ones yourself, what i should have said is my own preference, not rules to be imposed by anyone

the more people enter and vote the more fun it will be.

You will retain copyright of all your images.
No photo's to be removed from the photo competition by any member except mods or admin.

I think close family would qualify as not your own, although all photos I submit are mine, they dont have to be under the rules.

I bet you're glad you no longer offer a prize Mick, You'd have had to get a Solicitor to draw up a contract with the poster of every single picture.

I wonder what happened to the spirit of the first Competition, when people posted pictures without splitting hairs and just enjoyed the chance to compete on friendly terms.

It's a bit of fun, stop worrying about the rules just do it!

Isnt that what I have been saying since the competition started.

Correct Margaret, half the fun for me has been looking back and reminiscing over the old photos, lots of great memories. Comp. #3 however is quite a challenge, there's nothing there, unless I put a photo of me under "seen better days"! So I guess I'll throw the camera in the car just in case. As for the rules, great job Mick.

If you want a complete set of rules and restrictions i can soon do that
But i thought the competition was only for fun with the minimum of rules
if we had prizes then the competition would be more strict, but we don't
so instead of moaning about the rules lets have FUN
and see some great photos

Gosh did you really **** yourself laughing?
What a sad life you really do lead, wanting to dominate Mick's photo comp and take piccys in a pub, there, there, if you actually do turn up we'll offer you a sympathetic smile, what a fond memory that will be for you!

Probably wants to brag about his new camera and he has no friends to show it to.
So, yes, I think he might just turn up.

Nope, just wasn't sure that anyone that pees themselves with excitement could grasp the meaning of that or any other word used in normal conversation.
