Whats happening with this months theme? Are we bothering or has it passed its sell by date?

Seems I never did up and down sorry.

I seem to remember the poll for this being open longer than 3 days which does means quite a few days of the months has gone before the winner even has change to publish the new theme. What I propose is that each months theme is set in advance so come the 1st of every month it can be published regardless of the voting stage.

This could work in two ways,
1, The organiser or collection of involved decide on a list of 12 themes one for each month at the start of each yearly competition cycle.
2, The organiser decides on the next theme and the theme winner decides on theme for the month after there announced as the winner. This would mean we are always 1 month ahead and the theme can be posted on the 1st still.

Up - Painting My car
Not an original idea but what does that matter. Nicely done and a great photo.

Down - A Wee Dram
Had the effect, some areas lit some not well done. Maybe it would have been more interesting if there was more than one colour.

Exactly what Summer!!!

I am confused

This is the first time I have tried the monthly, does it not work the same as the weekly, where the winner sets the theme?

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. It feels good to win, so thanks.
Sorry I've not been on before, but I'm in Prague at the moment and this is the first chance I've had to get on the Internet.
Is it down to me to chose a new theme?

[Jediboy]

I think it's worth going with still. This is my first monthly entry but I like the idea of trying new things out

If its down to me to chose a topic, how about long exposure photography. Daytime, nighttime, whatever people like.
Any thoughts??

Congratulations Jedi, great image which got my vote.

Up - La Pistola, my company paths

Great image and a great idea, I can not find fault with this.

Down - JohnnyM, smugglers

Great concept and I like the image, reminds me more of Indiana Jones (for some reason). Great shot.
