I've got one and when I can get the damned thing to transfer from Photbucket to this Forum I'll share it with you.

Great quality shots Ali and I particularly love the mono conversion of No. 1. Unlike Mike I think the swans add to the picture by creating an interesting forground. The sky in No. 2 is terrific. I've been to Smailholm tower so I can relate to these shots.

I haven't clue what all that was about but welcome back Amin, you are a valuable memebr.

The circles and dots appear under each entry on the judge's monitor some time before the competition ends and I always assumed that they couldn't be activated until midnight Sunday when a tag goes up to say something like the competition is now closed and is being judged.
But recently due to problems not related to the competition one judge misunderstood and pressed the button more than a day early and the winner popped up.
So Barrie hang on till midnight and don't try pressing the buttons to see what happens.:

As Barrie says Charles Eagles, whose main shop is in Sunderland, sell Pentax and they also have a shop in Durham if that's nearer to you. Its in the The Gates Shopping Centre, formerly known as Millburngate Shopping Centre.
PS Welcome to taking part in The Forum, although I see you've been a member longer than I have.

If we include 'straight' glass as well as crystal in the terms of the competition there is a danger of some entries repeating last week's windows theme. My own entry is of a sculpture made from glass, not crystal, so feel free to rule it out when you do the judging Barrie.

Several people have commented on the weird EXIF details many of my pictures have. I can only assume it was because I shoot in RAW and convert to TIFF for storing on my hard drive. I then convert again to JPEG for downloading.
Now I've ceased converting to TIFF - it takes up far too much space - and go straight from TIFF to JPEG. It's improved the EXIF details but it still says my shots are taken in shutter priority mode whereas I nearly always shoot in aperture priority. Some technical wizz maybe be able to explain these little mysteries.

Its the light that makes this picture for me Kris. Firstly on the wooden building in the centre and then again where it picks up the old fashioned street lights. The muted colours are delicious.

You've certainly got the record for the number of entries Hyram. And there's still time for some more.
Best of luck, David.

Great, Keep'em coming fellas. I've posted a couple of mine in The Gallery.
