Topic of this month should be clear to everyone. You need to capture the scene which is somehow dynamic, spontaneous and different from it was a moment ago. It could be someone’s smile, specific pose, some kind of movement or anything which shows the beauty of the moment. Hope that you'll like the new theme. Here are some samples to inspire you:

Cool theme!! I think I'll actually put the 808 down and let the 1020 create this months entry.

I have a question
The QX100 accessory by the rules is it a mobile phone accessory or a camera?

I think you answered your own question but this has been discussed previously and they were excluded from the shootout.

We've discussed additional lenses before and decided that it has to be the phone-camera that takes the picture.
It looks like we will get spontaneous pictures only this month. Cool.
For the signature promotion.
Capture the moment

May I make a suggestion that if a picture is posted in the thread (and fits the rules and theme) it is counted as an entry/change of entry?
I can foresee a situation arising where it is possible for someone to post many photos in the thread marking them as 'not an entry just a photo I took that happens to fit all the criteria' in order to gauge reaction and effectively have a better chance at officially entering a photo that is more widely liked.
I'm not pointing fingers and not trying to accuse, I have in the past also linked to a picture that fits the criteria but not entered the photo (although I did not post a copy of the photo in the thread, only a link).
The other option is that any photo that is initially marked as 'not entered' cannot be later entered into consideration (nor can a vastly similar shot).
Just making a suggestion.

^^^^^^
I must say, I agree... I have thought this every time someone has posted the "this is not an entry" statement. I think that only the OP can post photos to this thread which are not entries. All other photos can find a place in some other thread or the gallery.
great suggestion

Posted by Bonovox
Yes true I have seen that happen
Posted by Marly
Agree too!
Only the samples in the first post aren't entries, all other photos have to be considered (1st or 2nd) entries. No "test-posting" allowed.
Posted by 9_Destiny
Agree with the rest. Photos put in monthly competition threads should count only as entry/change entry pics. That picture with dog was really nice. I liked the story how it was made by XperiaJunkie. Hope to see more attempts showing the beauty of the moment
Posted by XperiaJunkie
My photo has some how been deleted from this thread and no longer shows in my pictures and worst of all I deleted the photo from my phone as it is backed up to google but it isnt the full res image boo.
Posted by Bonovox
Huh?? Why was it removed??
Posted by hihihans
I never minded the example pics that were posted before any real entry showed up.
Reading this, I will no longer allow test shots.
Have fun and Capture the moment.

You probably deleted it from the gallery which would then pull it out of this thread.... the good news is you get a 2nd chance, make it count!

Photos of animals are always cute and there is no doubt about set-up.
Capture the moment.

Here is my funny moment that was captured of my mate installing air conditioning in my house and saw these ducts and thought he was Robocop! I can't get the orientation correct though, or maybe on its side is funnier! Good luck everyone! Bono your entry is awesome although. I hate pigeons! Flying city rats!!!

My entry for this month competition.
I first went to shoot my dog Max and then the cat showed up. I just call it something similar to Kitty on Croatian.
I saw her climb on the plum tree and went to take a few photos when suddenly they both heard something and I had this quick chance to capture the moment! I am happy with the shot.
Original photo.
