Good choice Hefty, it will be a real challenge for someone wanting to win with a mono pic.

It's a good job Martin(MALO) doesn't enter the weekly compo,he comes from the land of Orange. Is that your crafty plan,to entice him back Hefty?Tony

I think, you know by now, I never go for the obvious. So .....if I had not restricted myself it would be No Tulips, No shirts and No flags.

Good luck with the comp.
Martin.

Best regards,

Martin.

Curious about my photography?? Just Follow the Light.

I know what you mean. The second I wrote that I had an idea that could work. You won't make anything without an idea but it has to be carried out well otherwise it'll never fly. And I don't know if I am prepared to invest so much time in it...

I'm looking forward to see if your idea is anything close to what I had in mind...

Go for it, Lilly!

Most interesting indeed given the criteria :-

"Orange is my favourite colour so let's see lots of it......."

I shall have to check in regularly to see what transpires

Cracking entries so far!
Whoever wins this can be very proud.
I was on a brand new orange lifeboat the Saturday before this competition and I had my camera but I was all photo'd out and could be bothered Wish I'd known...

Yes, a very high standard this week. Put me off my idea of popping into Debenhams to photograph the cosmetic counter assistants. Although I would have had won an award for the most orange picture !
