Could there be confusion in voters' minds between:

"Makin a splash"

and

"Making a splash"

perhaps? Just possibly?

Swans figure highly too, but that is down to the entrants at the time of submission!

There is also splash down, which i almost used for my title. I voted for my own, but if makin a splash had of been first i may have voted wrong. I posted mine first so i have dibbs8-P .

We don't need another rule like "your title cannot be similar to someone elses", as long as they are not the same then it's up to the voter to make the right decision. It's all for fun anyway

Sorry, Paulyoly, when I posted my entry "Makin' a Splash" I was aware of your beautiful photo but I really hadn't paid any attention to your title. I would be perfectly happy to change the title of my entry if that can be done.

that is not necessary as i said, there will always be similar titles in competitions such as these. I was joking about having dibbs on the title.

I love all the smiley options on this site. :bounce: :clap: :-O

Thanks Ian and Glen. I'd like to congratulate Mcdomik for giving me a run for my money with his solitary sandpiper.

It seems my photo gets around, i was informed today that my photo is posted on this polish website

http://www.bocian.org.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20943

Does anyone read polish?

I look forward to this months competition which i'm sure will attract a number of entries, should be interesting.

At least they credited you, even if without posting the link - would be worse if they'd claimed it as their own

It seems to be a falconry website, most (tho' not all) of the pics show falconers' birds, tho' there's one or two other wild shots as well (maybe also copied??)
