Hmmm, interesting challenge. I might have some time this Sunday to have a go at something. At least it gives me a few days to think about it.

I remember this topic from 2yrs ago on DCM and there were 48 entries of which only half a dozen fitted the bill.  :o
Not an easy subject to get right. Just read your critique on the entries Oldboy for that comp. Brings back memories of all your reviews  :tup:

This was my entry all that time ago

Still leaning towards the chair picture from yesterday, but I couldn't resist this pun:

Mini Malism

And it was a horribly dirty and tatty mini too.

Damondph thanks for the kind comments on my rejects  :beer: and congratulations on this weeks win. Not bad for a first timer, may be you should enter more often, or is it beginners luck.  :2funny:
