Hi Colin,

The rules don't preclude use of a text balloon - may not be everyones cup of tea - but we won't know until it's tried.

Bear in mind rule 8 and especially that last bit re composite images - it may not apply to what you have in mind some have already been incorrectly entered.
 
Duplicate entry!

Sorry Ian I have inadvertently updated my entry for this months photo competition, twice. Sorry,

Kevin Elsby
