Didn't think of that.

I'd always heard the Aussies did strange things with kangaroos

I couldn't let her do that, she doesn't have a Pentax. Besides, I'd never live it down if she won

Erm???
Did I miss something

Yeah...erm..thanks for that

Nah..she's got it spent already.
She has said she'd get her brother a book as well..which was nice.

Checked the mail today...only one letter, addressed to my daughter. "That's strange", I thought, she never gets any mail ( she's only 10 ).

When she opened it..Great News! She was a runner up in a photographic competition set by the daily express for 7 to 15 year olds.

She's been reminding me all day that I regularly enter the weekly competitions on here and haven't won yet. This is her first competition and she was won £50 to spend on books.

Good job it wasn't first prize, though. That was a Nikon

I agree. My first two ideas were dropped when I tried them as backgrounds. Just didn't work with the icons on them.

Thanks guys. Never had such a positive response, I'm made up

Mac, I'll have to get back to you on the settings. They were taken on an *istDL with kit lens. If I remember correctly, I used aperture priority mode, but I'll have to check the exif details to get the rest, ( and that's on a different hard drive! ).

I liked the fourth one when I took it, but I'm starting to think there is too much colour in the foreground. It stops the eye there, rather than pulling you in.
What do you reckon?

To be honest, I love B&W photos, but this one doesn't do it for me, sorry.

It may be technically correct, ( but I'm not up on the technicalities yet ), but it doesn't seem to draw me in the way your colour ones do.
