Title: Please vote!
Post by: Woofage on 18 November, 2019, 01:53:40 pm: No, not the GE, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust photography competition (https://www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/news/photography-competition-2019-vote-overall-winner)!

Woofage jnr won the 12-18 category with his picture of a hare (https://www.suffolkphotography.org/among-the-grass/). He's not expecting to win overall but a place would be great so please cast your votes :).

Thanks :). It's not his best hare shot but some of the others were entered into another competition.

<oblig. cycling content>He rides out from Woofage Towers into the local countryside and he knows all the best places for a shot. During the summer hols he would go out several times a week. Beats sitting in front of a computer.<occ>

No, it's just wrong on a level that existed before social media. anything that is subject to a public vote these days is explicitly including the distortion that social media can cause. As has been said, get over it.

I voted for the one I liked best. Which also happened to be the one of the hare. Without the original post I wouldn’t have voted...

Post by: Woofage on 27 January, 2020, 08:47:16 pm: No. It was in the wild, so to speak.
