Hello and welcome to the second RTF of the 2023-24 season.
It’s a fairly simple task - post the best picture you have taken of the subject whilst the contest is open. Your image will be judged by other members of the GADC community. No nasty Birthday Challenge judges lurking in the shadows and easy-to-follow rules (posted below)
Your Reason To Fly, chosen by vote of the members from the three suggestions picked at random is:
So, does a great-looking image of an ugly building kind of cancel itself out? Are bad images of reasonable buildings classed as ugly? The next two weeks should be interesting!
RTF RULES
Scope
The requirement is to submit a still image created using a drone to illustrate the subject of the competition. This round will run from 00:01 Sunday 1st October to 23:00 Saturday, October 14th 2023 and the subject is Ugly Buildings
The image must be captured during the time that the competition is open. It is a Reason To Fly competition so please show that the image is created by a flying camera!
Editing is confined to colour and exposure adjustments and crop only. There must be no removal or pasting of an object.
Please post only one image, the image you wish to be judged, in this thread.
Images must be posted with the following information as a minimum:
In Capitals as the first line of your post:
THIS IS MY ENTRY
If this is not done at the time of posting the picture will be ignored. Should it be absolutely necessary to change your picture then delete the previous picture and add “This is my entry” - as above - as the first line of your new post. If in any doubt contact the Challenges Committee

Further Information is required

Voting in the poll is open to all GADC members, whether they have entered the competition or not.
You may vote for one, all, some or none of the entries.
The original media may be requested by the judges in case of a dispute.
Schedule

The competition will run from Sunday 00.01 to Saturday 23.00 fourteen days later. Voting by poll will be open for a further two days until Monday 22:00
The winner, second and third-placed competitors will be announced shortly after the vote is closed
