Specialist Comp - Sep 2009 - Hawk Display - Win Signed Print

[SteveS]

Following the forced abandonment of the September specialist competition, we have decided to run it again this month, as the prizes were too good to throw away! Apologies for having to post your shots again, but please do so, help FC get back to what it was! If everyone who entered before could do so again, that would be most appreciated.

Photography Competition Rules

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photograph can have been taken at any time.
3. The photo for this month only, must be of the 2009 Display Hawk, in any context.
4. 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, (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 11th October 2009, to enable anyone with last minutes entries some breathing space
6. Voting will be conducted by THE HAWK DISPLAY TEAM following the closure of the competition. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition.
7. Their decision is final.
