Wow I won something, to be honest I have really enjoyed this comp and there has been some quality photos entered by all, I really enjoyed searching out those fungi, you have set a quality comp here and good on you for donating the prizes, well done Darren for winning the camera mate.

i'd like to thank my family and imaginary friends, without fungus my life would be soo much more fun, only joking this has been pretty cool, the only thing i have ever won have been ebay auctions as the winning bidder and that usually costs me, congrats darren:beerchug:

Your entries made it hard too, i wish i had a dozen cameras to hand out, youve all made this highly enjoyable.

 

This comp will be repeated, and already thinking about what theme to run.

 

everything in my house is in boxes at the moment 9renovations, major ones!0 so give me a few days to sort things out, as i didnt want the plaster dust gettting in anything, its a nightmare here at the mo!

 

PM me your addresses too, and any posting requests i.e leaving with nieghbour if no one home etc

 

ive really enjoyed this thread, and with 5k plus views it seems many others have too!

 

For those i could not identify, many I have now recognised going through them and shall endevour to put a few names up, its not always straight forward, especialy from images.

 

well done all, it was as entertaining in its interactions as in its entries! darrens enthusiasm and desire to win gave me many a giggle throughout!

Seriously?? I'm absolutely amazed. In fact after seeing the quality of some of the pics coming in I had given up and havent been checking the thread recently and I have been doing alot of private work and not had time to go into the woods.

 

Seriously. I'm gonna do a cry. Tony, you have made my day, no year. Expect to see me on one of your forays in the not so distant.

I said it wasnt just about the quality of the photo itself, and you should never ever give up on something you want.

 

That bracket/host combo just floats my boat, but your a clear winner in many more ways besides the image, you had fun, went bananas keen and best of all made this a rather hillarious thread at times.

 

As for the foray, your more than welcome anytime:thumbup1:
