The theme for this next competition is ‘The Force of Nature’ – the rules for this one are:
- Manipulation is limited to the usual basics of fine tuning the colour balance and brightness etc, and cropping to make a good composition, but none of the ‘high tech’ manipulation of shots.
- Photos should be added in a comment following Bearsy’s guidelines –
- Each image should be supported by a brief description of the where / why/ how (not too technical) and what the theme means to you, how you interpreted it….
- Photographs should be taken within the time frame of the competition.
- The closing date is mid day on Thursday 31st of March (GMT)

Very timely, Pseu 🙂
Even without the quakes and tsunami, Spring is a wonderful force…
Any one taken any pictures lately…?
Should I remove the stipulation that the photo should be taken with int the time scale of the comp?
Pseu, I’m in Cairo and my camera is in Cyprus…
Haven’t really had a chance to lift my nose from the grindstone, yet, in any case some iPhone snaps and a few comments to follow…
My effort won’t be ready for a few days yet, Pseu. Mother Nature is taking her own sweet time.

Not easy to get a shot as the spawn is below the water line. But here it is, a force of nature that shows life carries on regardless.
Loverly jubbly!
Now then m Guys ans Galls, where’s all the photos then?
(My camera has gone… I had it Friday night and it has simply disappeared. Sob)
Brush Fire, evening, Camp Lejuene NC, March 24 2011, not altered or cropped.

Great photo, LW.
Hi Pseu, not sure I’ll be able to take anything within the timeframe but hope you find your camera!!
Good frogspawn pic, Rick. Our frogs have finally shut up about about four weeks of singing!! Also love LW’s dramatic smoke plumes against that amazing sky.

Any more photos folks?
LW Great shot!
Pseu, the best I can do at short notice, having been away on holiday for a few weeks, is this shot of a Victoria plum tree blossoming on a south facing wall, taken on March 28.
Thank you ColdWaterJohn… so very delicate
You have until mid-day….
OZ, officially it is past the deadline, but as you’ve been poorly, shall we allow an extension?
