They are lovely pictures, like post cards.

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

No harm in trying I guess. I like the picture of the ducks, but for the purposes of the Accrington Observer I think number 2 would be best yes.

Is the competition in this weeks Observer? I've not bought a copy yet.

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

Yes Andrew it is......the winning picture will be used in a calendar and I think on the Christmas cards sent by the council.

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

I'll go grab myself a copy then. Thank-you for the kind words by the way! :)

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

Number 2 is my favourite.

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

Andrew, I will save you the time and give you the details...
E-mail your preferred photo in JPEG format to [email protected] mark the subject field PICTURE COMPETITION
only one entry per person is pemitted...you must include your name and address and telephone number.
Entries close on January 31st.

Once the competition has closed the entries will be whittled down to a shortlist of ten, and then these will be submitted to the readers for their votes to be cast to choose a winner.

Good Luck Andrew.......I haven't decided yet whether to enter this comp.

I think picture 2 would have a fair chance as it is a well recognised landmark in Accrington, and your picture does make it look very attractive.

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

Cheers Margaret. Have sent the photo off.. :)

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

Good!
I am just looking at what I've got........I may end up regretting telling you about this comp :D

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

what about this one? :D:D:D

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

AndrewB - I HAVE TO ADMIT IT - I AM JEALOUS!!!!! Your photos are "bob on" - brilliant - best of luck with the Observer Comp (I wonder if someone made a typing error and it should have only read £50, tee hee)

ps. Retlaw, yours is a good one too!

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

Yeah ... reckon Retlaw and AndrewB may go head to head on this one. Still good comp eh Atarah ? £500 .. not bad eh ... and lucky,lucky winner .. may even get a pat on the back from Cllr. Britcliffe seeing as he is the one that launched it ... who is paying the prize money I wonder ... :D

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

All these of yours are winners Atarah .. just trying to get in the mind of the general public and the judges :

Attachment 15484 .. definitely Accrington (not Hyndburn you notice) as we see it.

Attachment 15485 .. Yes, beautiful building .. great historic connections

Attachment 15486 .. my favourite personally, but would voters see it this way.

Attachment 15487 ... I think this could win.

Definitely not this .. .LOL :

Attachment 15488

Anyone any thoughts on these ... come on, let's get an Accyweb win !!

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

I really like the one taken in Haworth Park by Atarah too. Wish I'd have traveled up there at the time to take some more photos. Was too busy building snowmen though. :D

Re: Snow photos - Dec 2009
 

It's in this week's batch ... no guessing which one you will be voting for TD ...:D

It is good though and reflects a building we all recognise ... they have cropped it a little on the width and the colours don't come across as well.
Still, I think it is the best and will vote for our Andrew.

There is another though which is looking down the main slope of the Coppice of people out and about in the snow, sledging, etc. Bit like a Lowry painting ... like this too.
