Fortnightly Competition #22 My Roots, My Place
Thanks for the win Ken - I'm really quite chuffed with that! The picture in the frame isn't that large so the lens was only a couple of inches away from it - hence I could use f8 without getting the whole field in focus. :wink: Thanks too to Lilly for the inspiration, although I feel a little bad...

Fortnightly Competition #22 discussion
Just back home from 4 weeks in France, a week at home then away to Norfolk with 3 grandchildren for 2 weeks so no time to enter the fortnightly or the weekly competition, and I might have had a chance of winning both(some chance :wink:)

Weekly Competition #111 - Serenity Competition - Comments
Thank you Aiki - dogged determination won the day. It took a lot of time to work out what container to put the water in, then how to get the dark surface, then find a suitable leaf or flower that would expose OK. Red ones don't it seems and it was tricky to keep the surface tension on the edge of th...

Fortnightly Competition #23 The Ground
Firstly, WOW! :shock: What a great bunch of entries and a record subscription for the Fortnightly Comp I reckon! :D I like nice open competitions with a very broad theme as it gives everyone a chance to give very different takes on the subject - I certainly haven't been disappointed here with ...

Excellent job Hefty - thanks for the considered judging. Congrats to Galoot and the others. Good to see such a strong turn out, and from a personal point of view great to be back in the fray. A note on my entrie: I wasn't dangling out of a window. Actually I was standing on a 8 feet ladder wit...

Fortnightly competition - No. 24 Menace & Foreboding
Quite a range of images this week, from dark and menacing to disturbing. Not all the images had the exif data intact, so I couldn't confirm date of capture. But as all Pentaxian's are honest, I'll take your word that they are all within the rules. Some even admitted wrong doing as they posted th...

Weekly Competition #115 - Yun
To jump in, I also think every picture submitted deserves a bit of feedback, be it short or long. Thats what makes it worth while and as there are no prizes to win.......except the glory of the moment.:wink: There is one thing what is bothering me a bit. And that is the lack of response after the ...

Weekly Competition #115 - Yun
We do have a consensus that the competition is for Pentax Users and Pentax images. There's also an expectation that the winner of the previous week will judge the current one, with comments. There's plenty of examples of how to judge that we can look back on. However, as regards eliminating non-P...

Weekly Competition #115 - Yun
I've entered many weekly competitions and judged several others in The Gallery since I joined PU in July last year so I feel I'm qualified to join this debate even though I don't enter pics in the Forum. However I do comment on some other people's pictures in the Forum. I want to make a few of poin...

The winner of this week's competition is by In my reading, the inherent richness and qualities of something - its Yun - are that which give it presence. I was therefore looking for strong presence and a strongly present photograph. We can all walk past fifty trees without noticing them but...

Fortnightly competition -# No. 25 : A bad day at the office !
OK...here we go, To bad there weren't more entries. When I figured out this rounds subject I honestly thought a massive avalanche of creative thinking would be entered doing the fortnightly proud. I'll guess it wasn't meant to be. Leaving the judge having: A bad day at the office too. Before e...

Fortnightly competition -# No. 25 : A bad day at the office !
Firstly I was sorry to see that amoringello's entry was a genuine redundancy notice, I hope something turns up soon on the job front. Congratulations to mikew - a worthy winner. This was not an easy competition to enter - hence the low number of entries. I had a number of ideas but executin...

Yes all right don't rub it in :) I have seen offroading in SA before and it looks spectacular both the driving and the scenery. For a while I lurked on an SA off road forum and it was amazing. I suppose at some point we should get this thread back on topic. Mike

competition titles wrong way round
I would like to make a suggestion that we start reformatting our competition titles so that the pertinent info is in the first characters, so that we can identify the competition and whether it is a comments topic or the actual comp. Here's my example from a few weeks back. (I copied mine from Lill...

I do see your point of view Mecrox. However, this is an English language forum - and the comp is part of the forum (or is it viewed as completely seperate now?). I can understand if, in the case of someone not having good English, then the comments might be rather basic. Ditto if there are a huge nu...
