OK I am guessing that if the cat was playing with it, it was relatively big!!

The 1st and 3rd are my favorites.

Amazing shots Clarky,

I have been trying to capture the large bull ants but so far I have failed miserably. They just move far to quickly

I went out with the family for a walk around sydney a couple of weeks ago and since the birth of my number 2 son I havent had the time to download them and post them.
Heres two of my favorites

This one is from inside the botanical gardens loking out at the city, I liked the way the big old tree sat against the modern sky scrapers behind. (Tweaked in PSE to straighten the verticals)

With this one I noticed how the reflection of the one building was distorted in the other( again straighten in PSE to fix the verticals)

Hi All,

This was going to be my entry for the colours of autumn competition but I felt it was lacking in colour for entry. I liked the shadows and detail in the rotten part of the leaf and its shadow on the straight lines of the wood.

What do you all think ?

C&Cs welcome

Personally I think running another competition would only serve to dilute the participation in both.

Whilst when the 'new' competition got of to a shakey start, it does seam to be getting better and better. The last couple have had individual comments posted under each image with a summary on the main page, which I feel is much better than in the previous competition and you can see the winner proudly displayed on the front page. All of which I also feel is an improvement over the previous style.

I also think think that everyone tries to enter pictures that have been taken in the week and then only resort to archive shots if they struggle to get one they are happy with, I know I do.

I do sympathise with you Mhuni as over here in Australia its spring, so getting a "Colours of Autum" picture is going to be a bit tricky, but it just means I have to be more creative.

Ah this is double tough for me, I only just got the digital camera and now its spring down under!!
