No work at all; it's obvious that the missing word is 'off'.

How do I find the time? Now if you'd said best that'd be easy but worst do you want the whole 4,000?

Harsh Erm, harsh
I never claimed that it was a self portrait. Someone called for an ar$e, I simply obliged

Might I point out that my submission to this contest does not imply anything about the member portrayed on the March Brownsea safari, it only highlights my incompetence at attempting to take a grab shot without switching to AF.

A couple of years back I won a competition at my club for the worst photo.

It was a mono print (about 12" by 10")of a marbled white butterfly. It was truly awful (I also introduced a peculiar smell onto the print).

The sad, really sad, thing was that I had produced the print many years before whilst a rank beginner and thought that I had something 'good' at the time I printed it. Even sadder was that I kept it even though I had realised how bad it was.

Careful, you're encrouching on my territory there. Usually is someone calls for an arse, I'm the one they're referring to.
