TZ Owners Photo Comp - "YELLOW" - All AV members welcome to vote from 6pm Saturday

The theme for this week's TZ Owners photo comp is "YELLOW".

PICTURE ENTRIES ONLY ON THIS THREAD PLEASE UNTIL 6PM SATURDAY ... Thereafter any comments will be welcome!

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 12th May. Voting will then commence and close 24 hours later, at 6pm on SUNDAY 13th May.

That's it guys! ... and after another excellent week, I can announce that this weeks minicomp winner is ... Nick for his unashamed rip-off of GC's "Field of Yellow" pic...




Nick of course get the winner's trophy ...




and a special award badge from GC ...




... and, Jim has this week thrown in yet another of his well worn t-shirts ...




Miserable recipients of The Shat Hat this week are Jason, shotokan101, Omegadiy, soggs, topgazza and KipsterNo1...




For the record, voting finished thus:

Prize78... 6
CFC1 ... 3
GaseousClay ... 1
goso ... 1
Shotokan101 ... 0
Jason7579 ... 0
topgazza ... 0
Omegadiy ... 0
soggs ... 0
KipsterNo.1 ... 0


Thanks goes to all the entrants for making it another excellent and competitive compo ... keep at it lads. And to domino1999 for voting (look forward to you entering again soon, mate!) ... and thanks to everyone else for looking!


Can Nick please announce the next challenging theme by 9pm if possible ...

Calvin

Well done Nick.

I'm happy with my entry, I've received more than 120 views on my flickr page for it. Normally I'm lucky to get 3 or 4.

Well done Nick - still can't believe I didn't get a single Fekkin' vote with my most excellently conceived and executed YP entry - starting to understand how Gazza must feel every week.....

Yeah...theres no point in being all creative and avant garde with all the myopic losers here...OH, and for heavens sake don't post this email on the forum....even the really dim witted ones might get the insult. And I don't want it known that the winning entry was a really nice shot....

Yours
