Congratulations to Dr. Orloff for a most original winning entry.

Excellent entries all round I thought

Many thanks to aliengrove for the competition and for my 2nd place.

Having decided that a K20 + DA 16-50 lens might get me arrested in a French supermarket, I thought that the Optio coped very well with the challenge

Hopefully my computer will be rebuilt in time for the next competition.

p.s. Good to see Ralf back

ALERT - JUDGING PROBLEM

Last night (Saturday) I was up to date with my judging comments (prepared in Word).

I have been out all day (catching up on Christmas preparations) and I have come home to find that my computer refuses to start up Windows (possibly a hard drive failure).

My only means of communication to the outside world is via my Notebook, so rather than try and assess the latest entries on a tiny Notebook screen, I am planning to complete the judging tomorrow morning using my work computer.

I will post the results - 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. but there will not initially be any judging comments as these are currently inaccessible.

I hope that the IT man that I have used in the past will get my main computer running and then I will be able to add the comments for each entry.

So many apologies and did I tell you how much I hate computers

Christmas greetings to all members of Pentax User

Hopefully next year will be better than this one

During the snow (temporarily gone in Hampshire) I received something from Amazon (via City Link) 12 hours after it left their depot

The usual place for discussion and repartee

Hopefully he can find the time to retake it
