I know it's a little early, but we probably won't be near the internet for the next couple of days.

Thanks for the comp Big Red. Without this I wouldn't take anywhere near as many photos. Nor would the few I'd take be much better than happy snaps.

Feel free to disqualify!

To be honest, the only time I saw that the challenge was on was last night when I saw MrDarcy's entry.
Perhaps we could arrange to get future challenges put up on the portal page. We might end up with a few more entrants too.

[Mr Darcy]

We've had similar situations before. You're more than welcome on my part.
Besides you made the cut off for entries, and who checks the date stamp on the photos anyway
On second thought. That's a good photo. Disqualify him Shane!

We made the portal page last month, but it seems to be a hit and miss affair. Probably tied up with the change over on the last few days. I will try to remind Gary to advertise next month. But then, with my memory, Shane had better try too.

My Votes
Theme 1: ... shadow
TonyT. VERY close call for Big Red

Theme 2: ... metal
pjs A great perspective on an other wise ordinary scene

Theme 3: ... anchor
Paulmac, but only because he got bonus points for te all in one. I nearly gave it to Big Red for the concept, but I felt the photo itself lacked oomph. Likewise, if pjs had nailed the focus I would have given it to her. I loved both the composition and concept.

Theme 4: ... spider web
Big Red

[pjs]

Theme 1: ... shadow - Tony T

Theme 2: ... metal - Big Red

Theme 3: ... anchor - Mr Darcy

Theme 4: ... spider web - Big Red

Even though I haven't voted for his photo, I thought Paul Mac clever to get all in one shot.

[Big Red]

my votes are:
Theme 1: ... shadow
TonyT

Theme 2: ... metal
pjs

Theme 3: ... anchor
Mr Darcy

Theme 4: ... spider web
TonyT

[hrpremier]

My votes are as follows

Shadow:- MR DARCY
Metal:- MR DARCY
Anchor:- BIGRED
Spiderweb:- BIGRED (Hands Down)

Credit to Paulmac for the all in one effort. Nice concept and well spotted but lacked image impact.

Thanks for the mentions, Jase and pjs. As I said in my post, I only saw the challenge on Sunday night, and ended up with less than an hour on Monday to take some pics. I should have made more of an effort to post up all four themes too.

anyhoo...

Theme 1: ... shadow
Big Red. Lovely capture of last light.

Theme 2: ... metal
pjs.

Theme 3: ... anchor
pjs, would have been a corker if you'd nailed the focus.
(Big Red, how's your grass after the dog dragged the anchor through it?!)

Theme 4: ... spider web
Mr Darcy, with an honourable mention to Big Red.

was a friends dog and lawn ... and i pinched the anchor off his boat

the Dog is mad about chasing the ball and nothing stops her so the idea hit me to "anchor" her
