January 2012 Photo Challenge - Blue - Entries
Discussion
Entries only in this thread, discussions 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.

True, however as Mark has pointed out above the idea is to take a photo that fits the theme, as Mark didn't set the theme until the 3rd then it still isn't valid. (I'm assuming that you don't have a TARDIS at your disposal - we'd have seen a rig shot surely?)
Pah, some people are never happy. Looks like I'll have to post an even better shot soon then

Great shot Colin but I am afraid this is the Photo Challenge, the idea being that you go and take a shot to fit the theme, we have the Photo Competition which is open for entries from your back catalogue.
Applogies Mark, i got all carried away thinking 'Ive got something blue that'll suit this' that i lightly skipped over the T&C's... i'll capture something else over the next few days to play the game... naughty me. 
While Mrs CB was out shopping on Saturday I had a drive around town to take photos of her car (beats being dragged around the shops) and found a bright blue backgroud:
