Oh Sgurr, what a stunning photo!!

Hey Sgurr/Sqiz - I thought you had been sending photos to the BBC news website, but it turns out to be a copycat effort (see image 14):

Blimey....must have stopped off in the same layby !!!!Mine is all my own work. Honest. The unzoomed one is in Two on Blue Skye (Scottishhills.com) Does Paul let people change their names? For some reason (super security paranoia) I thought you had to have different usernames for different web-sites, but it would make more sense being Squiz on this one too.

dunces hat going to an excellent pic of a wise owl who forgot to say where their photo was taken... and they made the rules!

Ooops, so i did.... How embarrassing....!!

It was at the Black Isle Wildlife Park.

I had an image of you cramped in a secret hide out in the wilderness to capture that, lol!

Terrific shot RK.

So does that make your entry nul & void

[RicKamila]

Indeed it does... It says so in the rules on post 1 of each competition....

I will pm those who voted for me and get them to recast their votes.

Hey Rik, no need to do that, a simple mistake was made that's all, we will let you off with it this time

Sorry Mo, but i have to disqualify myself. jwramsay got dq'd for a similar thing last year. So rules are rules and its only fair that I withdraw my image.

That'll teach me....

I would withdraw my image as a mark of respect on your decision,but I cant see anything.

[electricfly]

I'm sure that all of us who have entered wish your owl pic to be kept in. I feel rotten for mentioning this now.

Rik, had it been another entrant then you would have noticed and sorted it easily and the photo would have remained eligible, because the rest of us rely on your vigilance to keep things on track it was missed, and that's our fault as much as anyones.

I would like to see the votes for your photo upheld and in no way changed.

Don't be daft Ric, simple mistake.

[RicKamila]

Ok, if most of you insisit, then this time it will stay. Like you said, if it were someone elses I would have spotted it. Next time though, if I make the same mistake again, I will withdraw my photo.

Still embarrasing though...

Awww! I thought for a while there that I was getting another vote
