[Tony Fanning]

[Lee Iggulden]

[Phil]

Nice, unusual approach Eifion but weren't you meant to use a camera not a pencil?????!!!!!

[Phil]

Lee. Really cool. Smart car a great idea. How did you get the Welshot pictures off it????? Background map a super touch.

[Eifion Williams]

HA HA Phil,

That took ages in Photoshop !!!

[Eifion Williams]

Well Done Aimee.

Nice effort.

[Phil]

Very impressive Aimee. The angel looks like she is floating. Well done.

[Lee Iggulden]

I've officially run out of ornaments unless the mountain of paper work on my desk is considered pleasing to look at :( So it looks like I'm finished...

[Tony Fanning]

[markcarline]

Just a suggestion but maybe if we used FlickR to host the images and then link to them here. FlickR is free for a basic account ;)

[Dianne]

Posted the links anyway! :)

[Lee Iggulden]

Flat Ant is actually working on a new system as we are doing this :) And all will be revealed very soon :) It will make life a lot easier plus give you all another great Membership Benefit :)

Wont be long now and the first part of the new functionality rolls out in the next day or so...

Now, you really didnt think we would be just watching the grass grow did you :)

Thanks for taking part everyone, it is great seeing so many of you online :)

Lee :)

[Phil]

Well done guys. Tough choice to make. Whittled it down to a final 4 but there can only be one winner and that is:-

Paul because the lighting and sharpness of the picture really stand out although the subject matter is slightly disturbing!!!

Thanks everyone some really great pictures there although some of you do have strange taste in ornaments!!!!
Over to Paul for next weeks topic.

[Chris Noble]

Good choice Phil - strange looking ornament - I'll have to get my wife to agree to a change of style around the house.

[Lee Iggulden]

Well done Paul, very good technically even if it is a bit of a weird subject lol ;) For cute-ness Jimmy Cricket does it for me and for creative-ness John Evans (Jesvnw) is a good one. Bet he got those from a weet-bix packet ;)

Well done everyone.

Right, thats me, Im off home now Ive got a meeting at 6.45am

[Eifion Williams]

Well done to Paul on winning tonights challenge.

Also a BIG thank you to all of you who took part, lets see if we can get a few more challengers next week.

Thank you to Phil for picking tonights subject, and, for organising the challenge.

Can we go home now Lee !!

[Paul Smith]

Blimey that's unexpected, cheers Phil.

I really liked Barry's entry, great little ornament really nicely lit and composed. Tony F's was nice as well. Actually a lot of really good entries from everyone.

Thinking hats on for next weeks subject now then. See you all again then hopefully.

[Jevsnw]

Congratulations Paul, nice capture, love the light. Good to see I'm not the only one with a strange (or non comformist!) taste in ornaments!!

Thanks Eif, Lee and Phil for hosting the challenge, its nice to see a few fellow members getting stuck into the academy.

[markcarline]

Well done Paul!


.....For cute-ness Jimmy Cricket does it for me.....

Thanks Lee

Hope next weeks comp is a good one - I wont be able to enter (unless I get wifi at center parcs ;) ).
