There's an idea, I have to find a bicycle in frozen water and can kill two birds with one shutter action...

Prieni
No rule against doing that

It would be interesting to see how Martin would change his comments for the same image submitted for two different themes

Bicycles and frozen water are probably more prevalent in The Netherlands

Now, if the subject had been Floodwater

This week is going to show why winning is a double edged sword..I really don't envy the judge. Some excellent entries ( IMHO ).

I've already got my winner picked, I wonder if the judge will agree with me?
That is why you need to choose a subject such as "Telephone Boxes on the Scilly Islands"

Welcome,

Yes it is free delivery to forum users.

I always give Chris @ SRS (owner) a call rather than using the internet.

You also get the very latest stock levels.

Either telephone through giving your PentaxUser name or on the internet, complete the special instructions bit with the same information.

I always like to telephone so that I can have a chat with Chris.

Chris is attempting to keep track of Usernames and real names

......................I find, though, that overall it could be sharper. The letters on the scales are fine and I would have thought that at 105 mm and f/22 the depth of field should be sufficient to keep everything tack sharp.
Could it be that you lost a bit of sharpness when downsizing? And another question is bugging me: What was the weight of the fish?
The original is sharper but still not perfect - I must keep working on my manual focus skills

This particular set of scales switches off after a relative short period of time, hence the blank display. The fish were eaten shortly afterwards so I do not know their weight
