The clue is in the title: Weekly Competition. It comes round every week. If you can't enter it for any reason then there's another one due next week.
David Storm won last week's competition fair and square and the choice is entirely his. Give him a break.
David, if you get a low entry console yourself that you will have a lot less work to do this weekend when judging it. But you could yet get a rush of entries as people realise the posibilites.

RPS elitist? Never. They are a friendly and helpful group of people who generally know a helluva lot about photography. You can't buy the letters after your name as someone has just implied, you have to earn them by satisfying experts that your work is up to quite high standards.
But I agree that their website leaves a lot to be desired. I find it difficult to negotiate and doesn't seem to get updated very often. It isn't in the same league as the website at my camera club, Durham Photographic Society.
The RPS Journal, which is published every couple of months, is first class.

Very good varied set Dave. I particularly like the detail shots.

I voted for #3 before seeing the last page of comments. I didn't realise this had already been judged. Congrats on coming 2nd.
The magic light clinched it for me.

I found some Goths I hadn't met before Alan but I'm sorry I missed Danni.
I enjoyed talking to the two steam punks from Essex, you've beaten me to it uploading their photos.
It was good to meet three PUF members for the first time, Fritzthedog, Judderman62 and Hardgravity and his son.

Go on, get out in the rain and get some great splashy shots. The K20 is weather resistant. Maybe the K200d is too but I'm not sure.

I'm travelling with three Durham Photographic Society colleagues, one a Nikon, another a Canon and the third is Pentax but not a member (yet) on PUF.
We aim to get to the cafe in Sandgate, near the swing bridge, in time for bacon butties and coffee before 8.30. My Nikon friend says he's looking forward to meeting the Pentax guys again.

Just spotted these pictures John. I really like the close up details which are very sharp.
