**** January 2008 Competition **** General Chat

[MartinP]

The theme for this month's competition is:

Wild

You can interpret the theme however you like - animals, places, weather... I'm just looking for well composed, well executed images that capture the feeling of 'wild'.

Entries close at midnight on the 31st January.

Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures.

Hopefully mine will do fairly well...only took it whilst trying out a tripod and long exposure...think it fits the theme nicely, it was also very cold that night.



edit: forgot to include the image haha

heres two i took this year, not sure which i'd use so i thought i'd ask you guys which one you'd enter?

i'm going to have to downsize each pic to 1024x768 and re-upload them to photobucket because they've got a bit pixelated.

Let me know what you all think... (don't be too harsh)

There are some amazing photos above, makes me want to buy a camera other than my cheap compact. Anyway, here is my Wilderness photo (a bit basic sorry). I love the blade-like edge of the dune I was on:

I'm no photographer, but here's my attempt. Bertie, RIP.

Is this wild enough to enter?

[missdiane]

I have 3 piccies that spring to mind

A poor gull braving the north east wind in November


A squirrel in Chester that we followed around for about an hour, I think he quite liked to be watched


Self portarit, dont usually do these but a very windy day in the MX5, hubby driving home and I was bored, very wild hair I may change my mind about posting this

[crmcatee]

From a recent trip..


Got a later one in the sequence which looked like the bottom bear had punched the top one...

[toothlessjim]

The bears are cool, like the first pic best

[crmcatee]

Sucker punched..
