No I agree, it's bang on theme

. Putting my Grammar Gestapo hat on for a moment, the way I see it is this: If pluralizing a word does only that, it's fine (e.g. sweets vs sweet), as is using an alternative meaning for the same word (magical as in enchanting vs magical as in pertaining to magic), but if pluralizing it completely changes the meaning, it's pushing it a bit. Leaves is NOT the plural of leave, it's the plural of a completely different word! It's kind of a step too far; adding the "s" to leave makes it leaves as in "he leaves too often", and only then does leaves as in "from a tree" become valid.
The only exception I'd make is someone's interpretation of entrance, which was en-trance, and only then because it was such a clever twist
But like I say, who cares? These "rules" only apply to me, because they enhance the challenge for
me. There's no reason at all why you can't shoot and submit whatever you want to
That's the whole point, though in my case there never was a comfort zone in the first place!
Anywhoo, I LOVE that photograph

I could sit and look at it for hours; it's wonderful![/QUOTE
i have to agree with what you say about LEAVE I make a comment about someone being off theme and and they get upset glad its not only me who thinks about what the theme is. To me that is the only rule
