Well the frog does it for me - stunning...

I'm still going to enter but more for the fact that I had decided to enter every round rather then with any idea of being placed this month

Fixing the key, very clever idea, love the Frog picture too.

Yes another vote for the frog - good work Tomel.

Perfectly sharp, beautiful colours and great composition.

Cheers,

Graham

The frog was very real. We had flooding in my area this past year and a few weeks afterward my yard exploded with these little frogs. I set this one on a flower along side my house. He wasn't much bigger than a pencil eraser. I shot using a zoom lens with an extension tube to get the macro. After I took a couple of shots I let him go back into the yard again.

Thanks for all the interest.

I have to say the frog gets my vote as well.

Can the key fixers come over to mine and fix my 'Y' key please.

Fishing with my brother one time a couple of years ago, we saw a similar thing - hundreds of little frogs making a mad trek across the lake footpaths, but I didn't have a camera with me at the time :/

It is a very nice shot

I am loving the frog on the flower, and the mending keyboard keys one! Both are really imaginative.

My other half when I was showing him the pictures said 'wow' to the frog one when he saw it too!
He also thought the men at work ones was very funny and clever!

The oter pics are great too. Keep up the good work everyone. I am enjoying looking at the piccies!

This is the Comments thread - however, this link is over the forum size (600 pixels on the longest edge) so cannot be embedded in the Post Images Here thread - you also need a title - Mod

Nice nick, once sliced the tip off my little finger when cutting onions. It went into the bolognase I was making - could see the end of my bone showing and it bled like crazy.

Still, the spag boll tasted nice so that was ok.

It's good that ntfengland has managed to resolve his image posting problems. His/her shot of the razor wire against the setting sun is a fine shot. it's the strong contrast of the savagery of the wire and the softness of the sunset that works so well for me. Very well done.

That's all very well but what does Ken Rockwell have to say on the matter?
