ok lets start the 34th photo competition

[Turtle]

Please don't be alarmed that it means posting 'selfies' - far from it. I, for example, have long held the turtle (or tortoise) as my personal totem. It expresses certain aspects of my personality! (I'm known to go my own pace, well ok, I admit it, kind of a slow pace at that Hah hah.) so don't be surprised to see a turtle or two in my entries!

Express. Your. Self. Have fun!

[Turtle]

We've had some great entries so far, but more would be nice. Don't worry about being too 'deep', just think about things that you like, and that have made you who you are. A favourite place, or a pet that matters to you. A person who made a difference, even. What makes you, You?

[Margaret Pilkington]

I have just managed to upload three pics.
I will look for more when I return home.

Just had an enjoyable look through the photos that have gone into this competition so far. Some great ones -It's going to be hard to vote this time again - what an artistic lot of photographers you have all become and it's a great theme Turtle!
Thinking cap on for something to express myself too. At the moment pain is a feature blocking me as I have aggravated a bad shoulder which has been giving me trouble for quite a while. Just booked to see the doc - I think it could be what's known as a frozen shoulder! Painkiller's taken, wheat pillow applied -I think a walk out with my camera is on the cards to get some of the lovely spring sunshine we're having -that's a real tonic and might help me to think!

[Turtle]

Only 15 photos entered in to comp. so far. It would be great to get a few more. A little introspection, a little imagination.... It doesn't take much

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well....I have managed to put 4 in...am thinking about my attributes before I submit the fifth one.

[Mick]

Don't forget uploads close at about 10pm Tonight so get your photos in soon please

[Mick]

A little bit early but uploads are now closed and voting can now start
You have till Sunday 10pm to vote

[Turtle]

I haven't voted yet, as I'm still pondering. Thank you to those who entered! A great set of photos. Well done everyone

[dotti34]

Have voted. I seem to say this every time but it is always so true - so hard to pick a winner but the one I voted for brought back happy memories, and the comments accompanying it apply to me also, I couldn't go past it.

[mobertol]

It is always a hard choice - there were quite a few that really struck a chord both for the subject and the composition. Have made my final choice and hope plenty more Accywebbers take the time to look at the photos and click on their favourite.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Only 9 votes so far. What a disappointment.
Come on folks we need you to spend a moment looking at the pics and then choose your favourite.

[Accyexplorer]

,My vote is in, which is more than i can say for the voting poll letter I received.
Good luck to all the entrants.
