We’re looking for images that capture the essence of action, such as sports images or fighting animals.
Each member can enter 2 images of their choice.
Please let Darren have the images (sized to 1400 x 1050 pixels as normal) by Sunday 20th June so he can enter them into the online competition software and allow people to score the images before the 18th.
Sports images are very successful on the competition circuit as they almost guarantee an image with impact. In this talk David will share his approach to gaining access, technical challenges on the day and post-processing. Sports covered include; athletics, squash, tennis, cross-country horse jumping, white-water canoeing, speed skating, boxing and several more.
You may enter any image depicting photographs of non-human living creatures (fauna) or plants(flora). The photographs can include subjects that are wild, domesticated, captive, farmed or cultivated. The main subject of the photograph should be one or more plants and/or animals and the habitat is not restricted.
In terms of processing, adjustments to the image such as the exposure, contrast, colour balance, cropping and appropriate sharpening is allowed, so that the plants or animals are accurately represented as seen in the camera viewfinder. Minor removals of parts of the image which improve the accurate representation of the plants or animals are allowed. Additions to the original camera image are not allowed. In other words, by all means take out an offending twig or blade of grass etc but do not add extra animals, plants or replace the sky or other background.

A person or people must be the main subject, therefore, a small figure in a landscape would not fit the title, nor would (for example) a photo of statues. Otherwise most treatments would be acceptable.
