    It is good to see you are into black and white photography, Thumbnail.
    Take the colour out and it can bring out the emotional content of a image. After all a good photo tells a story.

    You should go for it Craig, it's a smashing image but what is that light 'ish disk just above centre left? It's a bit of an eye-catcher.

    Keith, That is the one thing in the image that sticks out like a sore thumb. It is paddocks and open unbuilt on land. I do not think it is stands out as much in the colour image.
    I have plenty of time to work out what I am doing as the competion has not been officially been annouced as yet, possibly next month some time.

    That's better now you've dealt with the little blighter Craig. You will be setting a high standard for the rest of the competition entries that's for sure.
