The subject for the competition running from 00:01 Sunday June 20th to 23:59 Saturday 3rd July is STRAIGHT DOWN

:thinking:

Yeah that’s right, this is the new one :point_up:

This must be a bit premature then (my quote is from this thread :wink:)

Am I allowed to fly to my neighbours window and photograph his weed plant?

Might be privacy concerns with that one :rofl:

Well done, you have spotted the deliberate mistake! :+1:

I’m lying of course.

Saturday night, tired and tetchy for a) not being at the Big Meet and b) suffering slight but embarrassing complications following a very recent colonoscopy. A flood of late entries for the competition meant re-jigging the poll by hand with HTML derived from the newly edited, resized images that had been presented. My coding skills are manual and my typing worse. So it took care and care takes time.

So, frigging about with that meant I grabbed last competition’s rules template instead of the one had prepared if CROPS won.

But there is something else newly placed in the rules that no-one has yet spotted …

One entry per post?

Fully understand a deliberate mistake after the weekend :wink: I was hoping you’d clarify the subject, crops in a field or interesting crops to a photo :joy:

From the rules:

• Competitors may enter as many images as they wish. Each must be posted separately

The interpretation of the subject is entirely up to you. Though the photos used to illustrate the subject so far follow a common theme:

There are 3 bonus points for @PingSpike applauding the symmetry, yes?

Yes there are.

Unfortunately there are three demerits for the black square of the tower base in the exact centre of the circle.

Nul points :).
