    Bugger, completely forgot. Can’t believe may has gone so quickly. Mind you this theme isn't really an area that interests me. Can't believe there’s been no entries though

    Hmmm, (obviously) I had a few ideas for this month but I've just been far too busy and forgot about it completely!

    Perhaps a new theme is in order for next month, something with a broader range of interpretation?

    How about "Curves" as a theme then for June?

    It appears that there are actually two submissions this month.
    There's both Stueys shot as well as "risingphoenix" who has submitted an abstract on the POTM site but omitted creating a thread...

    If anyone (perhaps risingphoenix would like to step up?) disagrees with the POTM defaulting to Stuey then speak up.
    I'll be closing the May comp within the next few hours.

    Make it nice and broad, say... "summer" or something like that. Most likely people will be taking photos outdoors these days. There's also "wildlife."

    Summer sounds like a great suggestion! I also like Colour. Anyways I think it's up to you to decide Stuey :)

    hmm, we could go with Summer Colours, which could quite possibly be as broad as anyone could hope for.

    I've announced June already. Now let's all see what we can make of "Summer Colours"
    It can be a shot of anything... abstract, or anything you can imagine as long as it has summer colours in it.
    So what are summer colors to you? Have a go at it. There are no prizes only something better: awe from fellow bit-tech'ers :)

    Hopefully the category is broad enough to attract more entrants. Can we request for the contest to be mentioned front page on bit-tech?
