Maybe that should be the theme

(I'm too indecisive to vote here)

Well, then technically it doesn't matter what theme it is this month as long as it fits one

You could argue that in black and white you wouldn't be able to tell it was a sunset

Does this count as the first 'Round' in a new season? If so, shall I update the results site once all the results are in, just so we have a record of who took / scored what?

I don't think there will be a season, rounds or results to keep track of really. Each competition was intended to be an independent event whenever someone can be bothered to organize one.
If you start having running totals then it is not welcoming for beginners, newcomers or people that want to casually take part when they have time or motivation.

We also don't have much of a scoring system agreed upon. For March people will just vote for their favourite photo and the votes are totaled to find the winner, but feedback to multiple/all photos is desirable.

Can we keep the discussions out of this thread - The title says March Competition (B&W) entries, not March Competition (B&W) Discussion. I think people would like to see photos rather than words when they open this post.

There is a thread that D.P started to discuss the competition. It can be found at

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18583340

Mods can the discussion posts be moved to the above thread please.

I agree the entries thread should be kept clean, but the problem is that the threads need to be linked in some manner. It's a right pain to go and look and photo in one thread then search for the discussion thread then try to remember what it was you wanted to say about the photo in the first place.

I guess standard vbulliten and PHPBB type forums just aren't made for this sort thing.

snips86x isn't your photo monochrome? I thought the theme is black and white?

Nope!

It's B&W with very low contrast!

Cool. I like it.

When do we get to vote on April's theme? It's fast approaching. I can see it now. Hundreds of OCUK photographers wondering about aimlessly not knowing what to shoot. OK not quite, but still. ;-)
