Congratulations to Cartman on his convincing victory in the March competition.
And a Crocus, I believe. Got these in the garden as I'm lazy so like bulbs.
Ignore the debris round the base, I'm a lazy photographer too. wysiwyg.

Cheers mate, I am really pleased to have won to give me a chance at the prize at the end of the year. To spend a day with a pro photographer would be an incredible experience.
Well done to everyone else too, there were some lovely photos this month. I have no clue on the theme for May so don't hold your breath
Ah, the Irish Daffodil, so name because the BASTARD English took all the real Daffodils in 1921.

I've noticed that there are one or two 'lurkers' amongst the voters, so it'd be nice if the theme inspired them to give it a go.
Yes, thank you for that. I do it in good spirit, then I think it may be taken the wrong way. But if I just go lovely, lovely, lovely it would be a bit pointless. I also try to remember who is new to photography and who has what camera/experience etc. There are professionall photographers with top notch equipment right down to novices with camera phones. So I weight the theme meeting quite heavily.
If the above is true, you have a natural eye for a good photo ......Thanks for some of the lovely comments, I'm a complete novice with no idea about technique and no way of photoshopping the photo, I wouldn't even know how to crop it!! Hopefully this will give me the motivation to learn more.
I think your picture is very good in the following ways: it meets "growth", it appears to my untrained eye to be technically good (but there are others who are more qualified to confirm or deny), but I don't like the blue bit in the bottom left hand corner. I can imagine this in a magazine or book as an example of close-up photography or nature or something. I didn't rate it because the picture itself bored me (sorry but cornflakes on sticks don't do it for me and it was an "obvious" choice for the growth theme). Look at the photos that fell outside of obvious and trees. But if you have only been taking photos for 2 weeks and you can produce a shot like that, then good on you, because I don't think I could.Peachy - I hope I didn't take your critique the wrong way. My reading of it was that, as I'm a newbie to this game (i think i took the pic after two whole weeks experience) you thought that although the pic wasn't overally original that it was good enough to be in a book. Please don't tell me I mis understood as I've told our lass and me mam
So far there is a solid core of about 15 entrants with 4 new entrants for March that hopefully will continue.
So around 20 entries a month looks a reliable base line for now.
There was bound to be extra interest in the first month for voters though.
Good point.
Mobile phone entries most welcome. Don't even need a camera.

Tell your lass and mam that peachy thinks you're great!
I'm not going to say equipment makes no difference, because it doesI only use my mobile phone, its a Samsung Corby, and is decent enough, I can't compete with the proffessionals on here though.
