Discussion goes in this thread, entries in the other thread

For this month's challenge I've gone for a nice wide open theme of Blue. You might be feeling blue at going back to work after Christmas, the sky might be blue (fat chance!), the lights in your rear view mirror might be blue, anything you like.

Rules
The photos taken must be your own work
The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the last day of the Challenge month
The exif must be posted with your shot
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month
The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials.
There will be two threads that need starting: The Entries thread to commence same time as Discussion thread. In the Entries thread only one picture should be entered. Any others you wish to discuss should be posted in the Discussion thread.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo. Some people still have black and white tellies, and use these stupid 3G phone things for browsing the interweb Links to larger versions are permissible.


Good luck all.

Think you might have posted on the wrong thread, although the entries thread has more discussion than this one. wink

Again as mentioned to George in the other thread, assuming you don't have a TARDIS then you took this before the subject was set and therefore it's ineligible. Photo's should be taken for the Challenge, not older ones that are chosen to fit.
