Ok, I had thought to keep out of this. There is a difference between a nipple on skin stretched over a skeleton and a breast. And I think Alfie was referring to that.

Skinny models can show their whole bare torso and you wouldn't see a proper breast, to put it bluntly.

And yes, you would find a lot of breasts on the beaches here (at least in summer). Some of those you would prefer not to see...

Thanks Bob,

we are already looking for a new abode...

I also like how the blues turned out. I did take the shot in the evening (so blue hour springs to mind). As the image was more or less of even brightness over the picture (after putting the gradient filter on) I overexposed by 1.5 stops. When using curves and layers to darken it down again the blue became very saturated so I turned it down a bit with a hue/saturation layer.

Tim, that is a great shot. I like the atmosphere of it and the crisp structures of the walls. What did it look like before PP?

There is a bit of a halo around the tower and on the wall bits on the right. Of the top three windows (BTW: seems these windows go back to the origin of the word, wind eye, as the wind can howl freely through them) the left one at least looks a bit too light.

When did you have any - how does Jeremy call them - tree huggers in government?
But you are right, the car lobby is far too strong for the government here.

I'm a confirmed petrol-head so, in celebration of a new series of Top Gear starting on Sunday, this fortnight's competition is CARS.
Oh yes, rub it in. A new series of Top Gear and I sit in Germany with no motoring magazine even remotely touch Top Gear. I just love this opinionated Clarkson guy with the aristocratic James and the Hamster... Sigh...

I'll try to find a car here, it's difficult as they are all out on the Autobahn at unspeakable speeds...

This is one of my favourite fog shots. Of course taken in England...

It's not perfect but I still like it...

As John mentioned, it's easy to overdo the PP.

Well, growing up in West Germany and now living in East Germany I somehow feel obliged to participate...
