... I have been thinking maybe we should have a theme for March's Photo of the Month! As there's no time to ask for suggestions I have just taken the list from the last time we voted (September I think it was!) and removed the theme that was decided for that month (lochs). So...

You can each choose 2 of the above options, but unfortunately there's only 3 days to decide... I'll try and give you all more notice next time! :whistling:

Speaking of next time (another 3 or 4 months?) I'll create a list of all the themes we have had suggested so far (including those already used!) and we'll just keep updating that with any further suggestions we get! That way we (I!) should hopefully be a bit better prepared! :laughing:

There's less than 20 hour to go with this poll and the way things are looking we might have another tie. If that is the case then we will run the tie-break for another 24 hours. If that ends with a tie then we'll have to look at Plan B... not that we actually have a Plan B... maybe Plan B will be to think of a Plan C... :shock:

When it's a tie doesn't the theme becomes Night-time reflections? :laughing:

I also thought when PotM had a theme, then iPotM would also have one, but not necessarily the same theme? :?:



Please :nod:
(Either night-time or reflections would suit me fine for the next iPotM :whistling: )

Linda did suggest that if we have a tie then the theme would be a photo that matched any (or all!) of the themes that tied... but there's still time for a single theme to be chosen!

As for the theme being for the iPotM, we could go for just having the same theme(s) for March and then next time we can have separate votes... maybe then I will be a bit better organised, but don't bet on it! :whistling:

The tie would work if only 2 were tying, but at the moment we have 5. Please vote if you haven't already so we wont have to give Bruce a headache..... :P

We've ended with a 2-way tie, between Night Time and Reflections! So I will run a tie-break for another 24 hours and include these plus one more option: Either... which basically means you can submit a photo with either a Night Time or Reflections theme (or a Night Time Reflection if you wish!)
