  1. Yes
First of all congratulations to last months competition winners.

1st place with 4 votes was @Sdawes with his Honey Bee on forget-me-nots.
2nd place with 3 votes was @Paul stuart with his Brazilian Tree Walking Frog.
3rd place with 2 votes was @WeeMalky with his Wings Of Gossamer.

All of these images have been added to our Competition Winners Gallery.

Thank you very much to everyone who took part.

Since Steve was last months competition winner he also received the job of choosing this months theme, he has decided to go with Black and White. This shouldn't be too difficult as it was also our monthly challenge last month, so are know you are prepared already :)

Competition Dates
Entries start: The date that this post is published.
Entries end: March 25th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT) (Extended till March 30th same time due to no clear winners)


What Do I Get if I Win?
1st Place - The first place winner will receive a $50 (US Dollar) voucher for B&H Photo OR Amazon (you can choose depending on your country and preference).
2nd Place - The second place winner will receive a $25 (US dollar) voucher for B&H Photo OR Amazon.
3rd Place - The third place winner will receive a $20 (US dollar) voucher for B&H Photo OR Amazon.

If your local currency is something other than US dollars then the above amounts will be converted based on the exchange rate when the competition ends.


In the event of a draw the entry date will be extended but not past the last day of the month. If there are still equal votes for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place then the entry prizes will be split. I can't think of a better way of doing this for the time-being! If this happens I may also only be able to offer Amazon vouchers since $20 is the minimum for B&H.

All winning photos will also be added to the Competition Winners Gallery.

The first place winner will also have the job of choosing the topic for the next competition. Don't worry, a list will be provided!

Looks like we haven't got a clear winner, or 2nd or third so I'm going to extend the comp for an extra 5 days, so it will now end on March 30th.

Can we (or should we) vote more than once?
Hey Chris, you can vote on as many images that you like. Maybe I set a limit in the future but for now there is no limit.

I'll add one that was pretty much a natural B&W shot...

Been so busy and it's been too long since I've been on here..
