First time entering, should I have done a shot from above so it is a circle on the pic and not the object is a circle?

I went off the cover photo and they are not circles as they are elliptical.

Looks perfectly fine as an entry to me :+1:

The RTF competitions are judged by a public vote, so the “rules” for entries aren’t quite as tight as they are for something like the annual Birthday Challenge (which is judged by the nefarious @Challenges_Committee).

A previous theme was “Wrecked Boats” and featured a number of “Wrecked Ships” (ex-navy pedant here), and even within this round the theme is “Circles” and a number of entries (mine included) only feature a singular circle.

In short, you’ll probably be fine :slightly_smiling_face:

As Martin @MartG1960 and Andy @rustybarnet say, this is a relaxed competition where the judges are fellow GADC members and not the heartless swine from the @Challenges_Committee.

We got the reputation of being strict from judging the annual Birthday Challenge and Treasure Hunt where money was involved which tends to put a sharper edge on anything. In reality we are pussycats!

Thank you all for voting and congratulations to our winners; this time there is a tie for second place between two coastal subjects. Phil -@Seadog - gave us Blackpool’s Victorian Central Pier at dusk with the Ferris Wheel added to it 120 years later.

Andy - @rustybarnet - chose to fly out to one of the four Victorian sea forts that, along with the forts along Portsdown Hill and the Gosport and Portsea forts, formed the defences of Portsmouth and the naval base against a potential French invasion. Spitbank Fort is just one of “Palmerston’s Follies” in the area:

Our winner for this round is Richard - @Kirky - who has transformed the Thames Water Sewage Treatment Works at Reading into an eight-deck DJ setup :slight_smile:

Congratulations to all three of you, thank you to everyone who took part and to those who voted. The next subject is already live - Derelict can be found here

Well done :clap:

I think maybe I’d have done better if I’d submitted a different pic I took on the same flight…
