The theme for this week's TZ Owners Mini competition is "LEAVES".

All entries are required to be "OOC" - Out Of Camera with no cropping or Post Processing applied - other than rotation through 90 degrees for portrait/landscape purposes of course. All pictures must be taken within the week of the competition.

We welcome, and indeed, encourage all AVF users - not just TZ camera owners, to vote for their preferred entry by clicking the "Thanks" button for that post after the submissions deadline on Saturday evenings at 6pm. ...and all TZ owners are cordially invited to participate either by submitting their own entries or failing that, by voting.

Please note that entries must be in by 6pm on SATURDAY 3rd March. Voting will then commence and close 24 hours later, at 6pm on SUNDAY 4th March.

As Vincent Van Gough might well have said as he rushed out of the Loo when late for an appointment...... "Ear Wee Go!"

Thanks Darren - much appreciated

Tough choices again this week but in the end it was a close call between Soggs and GC - and finally vote went to Soggs - despite the distracting little superglued Ladybird

Good compo again this week, lads!

It came down to GC and Jim's similar efforts this week for me ... with GC just nabbing it. Hard lines Jim and congrats on a very strong entry.

Nick for me this week, the flash highlight isn't enough of a minus point to detract from an otherwise great shot.

Thanks for the votes so far guys
