THIS MONTHS THEME IS "Autumn is Here"

(http://i.imgur.com/7odfo.jpg)

Please email your entry for the Monthly Photo Competition to here: photocomp@ni-wild.co.uk

Please do not post in this thread until the photographs have been displayed, then the chat can begin.

For fairness, submitted entries will not be displayed until after the closing date.

All entries need to be submitted by Midnight on Wednesday 30th November and will be displayed here shortly after.

The Monthly Photo Competition is open to NI-Wild Members only.  Please remember to include your NI WIld Username when submitting your entry.

P.S.  Your entries do not have to be taken in the current month of the competition.  If you have an awesome shot lurking in your back catalogued on a long forgotten hard drive then email it in and try and grab some votes and maybe even a prize if I can get a kind sponsor to donate one  ;)

No specialist equipment is required to enter this Photo comp and remember you're the photographer, so your interpretation will be respected.

Great Photos.... I have voted for mine and I notice no 1 & 2 are very close. Also I agree with Redspud that No 2 would make a good LP cover.

CONGRATULATIONS
TO
Wrh51 & Cerbera147

This months joint winners of the NI-Wild Monthly Photo Competition

Can Wrh51 and Cerbera147 have a chat by PM and let me know what the theme for December is going to be.  I know we don't have a lot of time left this month but most people will have extra time off work so there should be no excuses for not getting an entry in.

All great shots... Cerbera (Entry 8) got my vote.  Apologies for my entry.  It was only taken a couple of weeks back, for the comp, but it could have been taken in the summer.  Trees just don't seem to go brown in Downpatrick  :-[

Photographers for this months "Autumn is Here" shots were:

Entry 1 - Wrh51
Entry 2 - Velvetmonkey
Entry 3 - Oisin
Entry 4 - LennyJ
Entry 5 - Landyliam
Entry 6 - Jsurginor aka Mourneman
Entry 7 - Dowser
Entry 8 - Cerbera147

Its the tropical micro climate  8)  i had to snap mine in hillsborough forest park. I really enjoyed looking for the right pic this month, i drive a lot round the country and it was the first time i really paid much attention to the trees, not that many brown ones about! I even even abandoned the car one time to chase a grey squirrel with the camera, didn't get a winning shot though, ah well can't win em all  :)  Lets hope this months theme has a wintery feel to it  ;)

Thanks to all who voted for Photo 1 and well done to Cerbera147 with his entry  - no 8.
My photo was taken much further afield - in Ottawa, in October where there were some great fall colours.
Let's see lots of entries for the December competition and seasons greetings to all as you get out and about.
