Great photo Choo - is that wild? My deer photos were nowhere near as good.

Here is the standard for January. Mildly photoshopped for contrast.

It was wild, there were two of them they were by a layby near a truck stop on the way to Fort William. I didnt get out the car as I have been attacked by a dear before!!!

Few simple rules...

• One entry per person per month

• The winner of the competition will suggest the subject for the following month.

• The winner cannot enter the following month, but they should provide a photo in the opening post to set the standard if they want to.

• "Photoshoped" images: ALL images in the scene have to be your own work, putting a decent picture onto a background that you didn't take isn't exactly fair.

• If you do photoshop the picture please mention it when you post it. Not that there is anything wrong with editing them, it just will allow people to make their on decisions about voting.

Camera: Nikon D70. Lens: Nikkor 70-300 f/4.5-5.6.
Vivid setting.

I love monkeys.

Well, dodgy knee and crutches mean I can't get out into the wilds like I used to. So I figured I have to make do with whatever I could find in the jungle that is my back garden.

Caught this poor fella trying to get back down after seemingly climbing a large bit of rotten wood...
































... never knew there were bears at the bottom of my garden!
Cropped, but otherwise unadulterated. My Xmas pressie - a Panasonic DMC-FZ18.
