Thanks folks - new challenge is up and running (or cycling!)

Ups & Downs time...

Up - watching windmills windmilling - I liked the idea of this shot but for me there is too much blank space. I think I'd have been tempted to focus on the family on the bench and the windmills in their immediate vicinity.

Down - Mist morn - somehow my eye keeps flitting between the ironwork on the left & the buildings in the background on the right. I wonder if moving to the right & shooting looking over the sea with the ironwork scroll on the right hand third might have produced a stronger image.

As always - JMHO guys

Behind the scenes...

• Buy one extra special chocolate cake
• cut it into 2/3s & 1/3 & arrange on two plates
• decide that the 1/3 slice is too big so cut it in half & get extra plate
• decide it looks better with just crumbs on one of the plates
• eat slice of cake
• take photo

haha NICE ONE gIDDERS, GREAT TECHNIQUE AND VERY HARD TO DO!

Ops, caps lock on ;)

Yes, sorry. Was in a hurry

My behind the scenes was 'Buy a massive lens, lug it miles, and only end up with a grey squirrel' lol
