Can understand your mistake the two names have such similar spelling.

[DaveinGermany]

18 Pics already & that's just from 2 contributors, reckon this'll be a great collection of shots & proper hard to call, good luck everyone.

[Margaret Pilkington]

There are some brilliant pics in this comp........we're going to have a hard time picking a winner....again!

[Mick]

PLEASE NOTE !!!
I have been looking at the photos in the competition and noted that only a few are entering so i will be REDUCING the upload max to 5 per member please remember this for the next competition

those that are entering and where moaning at me to make it 1 photo are uploading 10 so i will reduce and hope for more quality than quantity

so please remember before uploading any photos to read the rules first

[Margaret Pilkington]

5 is a sensible number Mick.

I don't disagree with your decision Mick, just wondering if anyone would like to have a stab at defining quality.

[mobertol]

I think so too Margaret -it's hard to be be your own critic though! There is such a fantastic choice of subjects this time, going to be really hard to vote. The bear for bravery perhaps -I'd have been running in the oposite direction -never mind taking it's picture

[maxthecollie]

It's all right asking for quality,we are all amateurs not pro photographers

[davemac]

Who's been moaning about numbers, not me, if you keep faffing about with the rules no one will post as they haven't a clue what is required. What about a rule that only those with a camera can post, or only those with wet knickers, if thats the case, I'm your man.

I'm still not frightened of you, well just a bit, oh alright a lot...............MUM ............ the mans picking on me.

[mobertol]

I just wanted to add that I'm glad to see some "new" people posting photos -a bit of variety never hurt -but I do think there needs to be a drive to get people to vote -not just those of us who are putting the photos in the competition. Loads more people use the website than are voting -perhaps there needs to be some kind of green-light message when voting begins to get them curious and using their constitutional rights!

[Mick]

Just a reminder uploads will close at 10 pm ish tonight
and voting will begin
so if you have not entered yet please get your photos in soon
