I thought it was meant to be from this month too.  :D Seems I'm not the only one. I guess we'll know for next time.

Lovely work though everyone.

this competition is great for a bit of controversy  :D 

More controversial than an election in Femanagh South Tyrone!

would love to know how the submitter of the last photo there feels that his/her photo should have been submitted under the theme of "stunning views"? A burning pile of rubbish is not my idea of a stunning view, and I am sure I am not the only one? Controversy over rules etc is one thing, but I thought this forum was above that sort of stuff, and am a bit disappointed to be honest. :-[

One can be stunned by a variety of feelings (as indeed you have been): this negates your point and yet makes it entirely valid in this instance... how wonderfully complex!  :)

The image may have been taken in a photo-journalistic sense...

Hard to pick again this month - lots of strong entries!!

Two technical tips spring to mind from this month (although neither affected my choice it must be said):
1. Again, one or two pics not quite straight. Sometimes you can get away with it, but more often it looks weird.
2. Any hazy or washy images, try looking at the 'levels' of the photo and reducing the top end a little - usually helps.

One of the joys of a photo competition is how different people interpret the subject.  That applies to both the photographer taking the picture, and the person viewing it.  With a subject title there is always the opportunity to get creative or submit a humorous response.  I personally assume the photo in question fits into the latter category, and sums up the Northern Irish love of sarcasm ;)

As said if you don't like a particular photo, then just vote accordingly :)

I think there are some cracking entries this month, well done everyone!
