| Description | |
For me April is one of those special months in the calendar, lots of new life and new beginnings. Whether it is lambs in the field, blossom in the hedgerows or just the brighter longer days, April has a lot to offer. So get your cameras out and lets us see what April means to you. As this is a monthly competition all images should be taken within this calendar month and taken on a Pentax camera or acceptable clone Good luck |

April's first cherry blossoms
by kasperbergholt
An image that definitely needs to be viewed on a large screen and an interesting use of black and white. The quotes from Chaucer and T.S.Eliot set the tone for the monthly challenge far better than my ramblings
New hazel leaves.
by davidwozhere
I always enjoy David's forays out with a classic optic and this one does not disappoint. The bright green of the new leaves jumps out of the screen and screams "Spring" very effectively
young
by gibis
Another image where green is the dominant colour. The Hibiscus buds are perfectly in focus and the soft bokeh provides a beautiful soft background
new beginnings by Lady Bugs
by jrutle
A well seen image which is well composed and exposed. Unfortunately the focus point is slightly off leaving the Ladybirds a bit soft - which is a shame as this would have been a much stronger contender.
Spring Greens
by Nigelk
Great use of a telephoto lens for a landscape shot. I really like the way the afternoon sun has picked out the meadow and trees in the foreground. Really pleasing image.
Okes and blokes
by Noelcmn
I am fortunate to have a number of oak trees near where I live and often see young saplings like these, only for the grazing cattle to eat the tender young leaves. I like that the saplings here are showing through a mass of fallen oak leaves. I think a lower viewpoint would have provided more impact (easily said but with my knees not so easily done!)
So to this month's winner and podium places:
Winner - young by gibis, that beautiful bokeh swings it for me
2nd - New hazel leaves by davidwozhere, a very close run thing, I just love that bright spring green
3rd -Spring Greens by Nigelk, The contrast between the sunshine and shade makes this image
