Changing the topic back again to the rules.

John Riley says in the announcement

"Images should be all your own work. "

How is "own work" defined? This is the reason why in the competition"Love Is ..." I asked if my entry was allowed - as I stated my father had actually pressed the shutter button to make the exposure and I had done the post processing, so not all my own work. I have noticed over the weeks a few, very few, have said "taken by my wife etc."

Also on very few occasions I've noticed that a non-Pentax camera has been used, should it always be taken on a Pentax of some description?

Just my thoughts.

My word you must have got up early for that one. Did you walk up the Great Orme?

Lovely shot.

I also like the ones of Conwy Castle.

Howard

Well done everybody. Thank you for the expert judging. I must take note of the comments and learn.

Holyhead - my place of birth many years ago. St Cybi's, built between 13th and 16th century.




Howard

Congrats to McBrian and everybody.

I asked if it was allowed because as I said it was my father that actually took the photograph and I did the post processing - nothing to do with the Welsh Assembly who were just a pipe dream then. And, yes, she has been kissed since - many times but not recorded for posterity on any camera.

She still is a lovely lady

As requested here is the original



Please note the sideburns

The Kiss.

Me and the my lovely lady taken by my father on MY PentaxME Super about 30 years ago. Scanned by me and Photoshopped by me. Is it allowed?

PS It was at a lovely setting - Plas Newydd on the Menai Straits.

I find photobucket.com easy to use and works every time. Recommended.

A very happy Welsh rugby fan.

Congratulations Gwyn. Thank you Dirk for spending so much time on your judgement. I take your point about the throat of the falls. I could not get my wife to stand in the water to give a sense of scale.

Hardraw Falls is a 100 feet or approx 30 metres - the highest in England. It is a lovely spot.
