The monthly theme challenge for April 2006 is ‘Birds and water'.
This theme proved very popular when previously run and hopefully will be once again.
The theme is further defined as being a photograph of a bird/birds interacting with water. This can be of birds bathing, in the rain, feeding in water, reflections in water, swimming and diving etc. As long as a bird or birds are invloved and the presence of water is in view and obvious.
The rules must be adhered to in order to avoid disqualification. The Moderators decision is final.
Rules –
1. Entry to have been taken in the last twelve months.
2. Date taken to be included in the entry - must at least include month and year.
3. Entry to be uploaded between April 1st-21st midnight (BST).
4. Your entry must contain a bird or birds that are obviously involved with water.
5. The bird must be wild and can be of any species.
6. Location taken to be included and must include at least the county/state and country.
7. One entry per member.
8. Only minor image adjustment is permitted, such as cropping, sharpening, contrast, and levels. The photo must not be otherwise greatly manipulated ie. objects should not be added / removed in order to enhance the shot - no composite images.
9. Once uploaded a photo is classed as an entry and cannot be replaced by another shot. However, you have until the closing date / time of this competition to ensure that your photo meets criteria.
10. The entry must be your own work and not previously submitted in a competition on this site.
11. The bird's common name mustbe given - though please add the scientific too!
