Last night's sunset.

Edit: Fuck know's why it's gone a bit artefacty though. First attempt at uploading from Aperture 3.

[RiK]

Loving that one Jima

[Meow]

Scratch the first one.

How you finding the RAW support for the LX3 in Aperture, Jim?

Haven't tried it at all, that picture really was the first thing Aperture has pulled off the camera and I've not snapped anything in raw yet. I'll probably give it a fiddle at the weekend.

Slightly older pic from me...

[grue]

Love the colours skweek!

[gravy]

Old one from me too

[PFVA]

Not sure if i'm still in time. Taken today

Unstable Cliffs, a Small but Necessary Focal Point in the Scenic View

[Zoot]

Apologies from me too for an old 'un, but it is sort of fitting.

Raindrop on a clothes line with my house in the reflection:

[Truder]

I too hope I'm just in time

[Zoot]

Another raindrop................

[Dungeon-Dave]

Zoot: I think you ought to start your own gallery of raindrop pics - not saying that yours aren't welcome here, but you've got a damn good eye for this raindrop thing that I think you ought to explore that. You could be onto something there.

... or maybe that should be the topic of a later competition. Dunno. Just that I found your two photos fascinating.

Jimmo's deffo got "tranquillity" in mind with his shot. mmm, nice one, lad.

[RiK]

Hmm, right then, my shortlist... Bloody hard to choose as there were several I really liked other than these..

(I actually preferred your first pic but love the colours in this one too)

Special mentions also to:

Matt303 - Loved the pic but wasn't entirely sure that it drew my eye to one point enough to fit the theme.
Piku - awesome shot of Markie there and was very nearly one of my picks but I'm just a sucker for the arty stuff..
Meow - bit surprised by your decision to change your pic, I think your first shot of the trees was a much better fit for the topic and was a strong candidate. on the second - WHITE BALANCE DUDE!
Korruptor - You know I'm a sucker for cat pics, oddly enough my eye was actually drawn to the mouse toy more than his eyes. nice pic

[PVB]

Meow - on the second - WHITE BALANCE DUDE!

I actually think the glow from the sodium lamps helps the pic, evening out the look of it, concentrating the eyes on the elements in focus.

Can't see any artifacts from here. You sure your monitor's not fucked?
