Entries:

* It is encouraged, but not essential, that people enter new photos

 

[Herbsman.]

REAL photographers don't enter photo competitions. Because their photos are so good that it would be unfair on the other entrants.

Besides, if a REAL photographer was to enter a photo comp, that would mean that (theoretically of course) he or she might not win. That would mean that the judges were wrong. And no-one wants to make judges look like incompetent idiots.

 

[BlueSquareThing]

Incompetent idiots?

Where?

 

[Desbo]

Have you ever been a member of a photography club? You would not believe the obsession by the judges with absolute perfection. It is disturbing as obviously the REAL photographers work gets cast aside.

 

[Herbsman.]

REAL photographers don't join photography clubs. Lesser camera-operating people form fan clubs that worship real photographers.

Sand

Ice Cream

Allowing your CHILDREN to drink BEER! DISGRACEFUL!

 

[Sweet FA]

It's only those little cans.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Scifisam - Windy day at the pier really made me smile. It's a great photograph

 

[Desbo]

Ice Cream

This is great... the intimacy of it really makes you feel like you're there.

Timeless seaside image. This would also look good in sepia or B&W. Did you set the scene or come across it?

Allowing your CHILDREN to drink BEER! DISGRACEFUL!

Going OT here - they used to have a children's beer in Germany. A dark"Dunkel" Beer which was 2% or thereabouts. I remember American service families buying there ten year old kids this dunkel beer in local bars mixed with Coca-Cola - happy days
