Well, we might as well start a new photo comp. The theme this time is Animals. Any kind. Alive...or dead. Can be a telephoto action shot, macro, or pet portrait etc.

Please read the rules below before submitting your entry.

RULES

Please note: the aim of this is to get people out and to use their cameras in different ways to what they might normally do so, to achieve this the rules state that the photograph must be taken in the month of the competition and relate to the theme in some way.

Each month a different thread will be created and at the end of the month a poll will be added including all entries that are deemed valid. Non valid entries will be automatically excluded. The named winner then copies over the text of this post and replaces the theme with one of their choice.

Include a description of a few words as to why you feel your picture fills the theme.

Once the thread has been started peoples entries have to be posted in that thread. Each entrant is only allowed ONE POST in the thread to cover ONE IMAGE that he has entered. The last image posted is the one that will be used, all others will be removed when a Mod/admin has a spare moment ...

Deadline for all entries will be the 25th of the month before the deadline, leaving a few days then for Voting to take place and the winner to be declared by the last day of the month.

I suggest that the winner picks the next theme by the 3rd of the next month (3rd November in this case), so several days of voting start on the 25th and the 1st the winner will post another thread following the format as mentioned above, replacing the THEME with his/her chosen theme.

Post your entries below.


Good luck.

Dating data will be needed too so be careful to preserve this if possible. exif is data that is inserted into photographs by digital cameras

If your picture is regarded as too big it may be edited to just a link by a Moderator, there is no upper limit on picture size.

Entries must be made before the 25th, at which point new entries will not be allowed and voting will commence.

My Dog died on Saturday, going to hunt for a really nice one of him and put it up.

my parents dog is f**ked. He cant walk anymore - he cant balance, hes got some pills & he does try to stand up, but overall hes like bambi on ice

Mac was running around backing like crazy just before I went out at 6, came in at 2am to him not well with parents.

zpyder - thats a cracker, awesome eye detailing!  Hope you dont mind, but I think you should try and get it better though ... reshoot it on a white sheet of paper or a large dinner plate.  Dont use flash, try and do it in a nicely lit room.  And whatever happens, do not crop the little fellas hand off!!!!  

May have to go to the zoo or something for this one?  Can I pop round to take some snaps, ha ha!
