I mean, it looks like the sort of thing he'd probably buy
In that case I'd like to see the original hi-res file straight out of camera :-)

Saw that orange/red/yellow pansy this morning and thought it deserved a picture. I wish all my pansies were that colour.

I give up.
I learned that most passenger side rear view mirrors are closed in when the cars are parked.
Fm the ones that are not most are so full of dust they don't give a reflection.

This is what i came up with, a driver's side mirror (parked in a street where on can safely walk thru the middle)

I really do need to pick up my camera and get out their snapping again, and the photo competition is just the thing I'm going to try and get involved with - and may try and do that before this month's closes, but ... damn ... how bloody depressing is it to read comments about not having a car, or a decent camera?

The point is Gravy took a photo' ... and I'm guessing it wasn't with his DSLR ... and it showed a creative take on the competition theme. Come on people, you can't blame a lack of a car or not having a good camera, if you can't be creative in your interpretation of the theme then what's the point? Creativity isn't something you can buy already packed in to DSLR, and it sure as hell isn't an option you can tick when buying a car.

Meow, have a bit of patience, it's a while until the end of the month. I'm going to try and post something, it might be crap, but there are some great photographers here and their feedback can only help us all become better at this.

My favorite. Very arty. Very comic style. Love cars. Win win for me.

Really nice. It's sort of thing you see everyday in your side mirror, but pay no attention to.

It's nice. It looks good and it was the first.

Runners up really. But I'll enter it. Let yak yakkers be the judge. Simple b/c he twisted the theme and used his imagination.

I really like it. Even though it has got lots of problems it's pretty hard to capture a cat on a car in the side mirror. But it can't be enter.

Ooh and massive shout to PFVA and Tuffy for trying. Good lucks and thanks to one and all.

Don't understand the 'But it can't be enter." - What I do wrong?
