Looking good. I had an idea, but then shot something else today, and then remembered the competition. I'll keep my mind open. I don't think I'm too recognisable. :)

Wow! I just noticed this section. Cool idea!

I was in a photo contest before, well about 10-15 times, but I never had to do this topic. I don't know if I can think of anything. :D

Just to let you know, I'm away on buisness tomorrow and possibly friday. That means there may be a slight delay before I can get the last photos uploaded and the voting started. I know there are at least 6 photos waiting to be uploaded at the moment.
