2. The photo may have been taken on any date, it does not have to be taken in the month of the competition

3. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not. HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.

4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 (UK time) on the 7th September 2022 - please note the extended closing date to enable anyone with a last minute photo plenty of time to prepare their entry.

6. 'Rule 6...' There's no rule 6, Bruce'

7. The decision of the moderating team is final.
