Thanks Sam, the leaderboard will be updated sometime after the Archers finish :slight_smile:

Can we remind all competitors that , although we really appreciate well-composed videos and photos, your primary task is to show the subjects that have been requested.

So, if it’s a picture of an isolated church please don’t crop it so we can’t determine that fact without having to fire up Google Earth. Similarly if we ask for 12 arches of a viaduct please make it obvious there are at least twelve.:slight_smile:

Rant over

We will allow three points - for illustrating the subject, for commercial use and for the addition to Drone Scene.

Each tower contains the generator, gearing and control gear. The rotor hub carries three blades not sails.

Sorry.

No need to be sorry! Thanks.

Hi Sam @Sam_B I’m afraid on closer inspection it appears your Viaduct image was taken back in May (Metadata is being checked on images). Due to this your Viaduct image has to be disallowed as images submitted for the Birthday Competition need to be taken during the dates the competition is running. We can see you only joined today and as such assume you haven’t read through the rules fully. For this reason we are allowing you to retake the Viaduct/Aqueduct subject if you wish after having a thorough read through the rules
Paying particular attention to rule number 2 :slightly_smiling_face:

[slowly amending my plans pretending I wasn’t intending on photographing a wind farm :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:]

I was actually going to ask about this, purely out of interest, because…

This implies that if your entry is not confirmed as eligible then it can be replaced or substituted for another entry at a later date. Whether you’re new here or not. :grin:

Jez, you appear to have read and assimilated the rules. You are correct. :+1:

We thought that the experienced contestants would submit valid entries (with the occasional mis-claimed bonus point). If just a bonus point (or points) is disallowed, the rest of your entry is still valid. However, if your entry is rejected in its entirety you have the chance to retake it.
