I then shut down Firefox and reopened it and can now see No. 2 but not No. 3.
Very strange

Well......whatever it is, the last ones don't check their PM's.
Maybe we should ask John to remove them all three. A bit rigorous but lets face it. The first three entries aren't qualified/incomplete/missing.
Better to start new and fresh. IMO.......of course.

Ps,
I am not the superstitious kind of guy, but maybe this is the prelude to the end of a already declining competition format. Seeing the quantity going downhill the last couple of rounds.

Martin, I wouldn't be so pessimistic. It's summertime after all and there are people out there who don't have their priorities right. They go out, go on holidays, photo tours, family outings and other passtimes. And over that they forget about the meaning of life (which, as we well know, is to keep the Pentax user family happy with delightful posts and stunning competition entries).Ps,

Once the leafs turn from green to brown they will come back, huddled up next to the warm computer power supply and will take part again.
I'm of course not taking a holiday but I have a fairly busy time at work (but hope to get a little break next week). That's why I missed some of the competitions recently. (Just in case that you feared I had a real life...)
Back on theme: I think it is encouraging to have three submissions from new people who aren't familiar with the rules. They will read and understand the rules and, who knows, they might become regulars in no time. And thus our happy family grows and grows...

There's a scene at the back of my garden that I've shot several times because of the interesting shadows and I was really hoping to capture it again for the comp, but - as seems to be typical - the only two days in the last two weeks when there's been enough sun to cast any shadows I've been away!
Hence no entry from me this time

Enter it anyway... all bar 3 have no exif & Johns was shot in 2005 !

And yes, I do appear to be paying too much attention

So it was, I'd forgotten that these are supposed to be shot within the competition fortnight. Very difficult to do that it must be said.
Aiki will ignore the entry I'm sure!

Aiki has posted a link to the full set of rules so I do not know what more a judge can do to make people aware that the whole point of this competition is to take a picture 'to order' unless you strike lucky and just happen to have taken something within the time slot that matches the competition subject.
We obviously want to encourage entries.
