POTY 2007 - Round 11 - Food and Drink

[Marcel]

Welcome to Round 11 of the TP : Photographer of the Year 2007.

The competition rules are here (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=15325).

Please use this thread to discuss the competition, and specifically the current round, and your interpretation of it. Also feel free to discuss ideas and thoughts etc. :) While there is an anonymous nature to the submissions and voting, there's no need to be secretive about ideas and the like. While we'd all like to win :D...the competition is for all of us to help improve our photography :)

The theme this month is "Food and Drink". Decide what the theme means to you, and portray it in a shot (Or take a shot and shoehorn it into the theme :D)

The cut off for submissions to be received is 23:59 on the 30th November 2007

The winner of this round will receive an a4 or a3 sized print of their winning shot. (Winners choice)

Please email your correctly sized entries, with your forum username in the subject or body of the email, to competition@talkphotography.co.uk
All entrants will get an email back confirming their entry. So if its nearing the end of the month, and you havent had a reply, use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the forum to check.

Have fun shooting, and remember, it's all aimed at getting us thinking about our photography more, and hopefully improving our skills, but more importantly, it's about having fun doing what we enjoy doing, and thats taking and sharing pictures.

So get your thinking caps on ladies and gentlemen, and go take lots of lovely photos!

Regards

Marcel

Well Thanksgiving falls into this category... but other than that I can't think of anything.

Sorry LL apparently you haven't been to a Thanksgiving dinner in America! You find out the colour of all the men's underwear.... Sometimes it is just scary and traumatizing to boot.

[Yv]

:nuts: I think Marcel is suspense building :lol:

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Suspense building or having a lie-in :p Think it might have been his anniversary or something yesterday so guess he has a reasonable excuse :(

[Marcel]

Yup, I was out on Friday (Rockin with the Quo!)
And it was my anniversary yesterday, so I haven't had chance to put the results up.

The votes are all in and counted though, so I do know the winners ;)

I'll put a proper thread up this evening for you all :)

[Yv]

Hope you hae had a great weekend Marcel, and dont worry, we can wait ;)

[Jimmy_Lemon]

*Taps fingers*

[RobbieW]

[susie]

I'm sure once Marcel has relaxed, had a few beers and something to eat he will put off posting the results until tomorrow as theres no point rushing these things :lol: :lol:
