Good choice.

[jimthetrain]

Should be plenty to go at.  


Now to see if I can squeeze a pair shot in the little time remaining. Been too busy. 

[Oldboy]

Was hoping to get a shot like this today, but the strong wind didn't help.

I have to say - this is going to be a hard to judge looking at the entries submitted so far!
I suspect the winner will achieve it my a single vote or by having posted first!

Nice to see a bit more interest shown for the comp this week. Well done all.

[Eileen]

Yes - there are some great pictures and it#ll be hard choosing my favourite. I wish I could comment directly on the pictures.

Eileen - i've seen people comment via this chat thread in the past - and the comments have usually been very well received.

[Hinfrance]

Yes - there are some great pictures and it#ll be hard choosing my favourite. I wish I could comment directly on the pictures.

I would like to be able to comment on the pictures themselves too - that way the the compliments and observations stay with the images long after the competition has faded from our consciousness.

it was either oldboys or dave's but thought as great a shot as oldboys is i couldn't decide if it was a silhouette or not so i went with dave

[Eileen]

I had a difficult time making up my mind. I chose Dave's in the end because it made me smile, but Andrew's picture came a very close second for me.

It's a shot of the Damselfly's shadow on the leaf whereas, a silhouette would be a shot towards the light, so the subject was black. Thanks for considering my shot.
