Maybe you could take photo of yourelf having a "deja vu" moment.
And frankly I need the practice.

Seriously, we do work from different lists. I'm pretty sure I've duplicated some of the Weekend themes as well.

[Big Red]

just a reminder that this starts tomorrow afternoon...

Theme 1: ... man
Colin_12 for a stunning old school (Before Leonardo!) portrait. Honourable mentions to Big Red and pucara for an interesting concept
Theme 2: ... cloudscape
Pucara
Theme 3: ... family
Colin_12
Theme 4: ... emotions
A close call. All are excellent. I'm going to give it to Andy as the topic was emotions

[andy]

Man: Colin.
Family: Mr Darcy. What a vibrant family!
Cloudscape: Big Red. Although I would have liked more of a silhouette.
Emotion: Colin. Very colourful.

[pucara]

4) EMOTIONS...........ANDY

[paulmac]

Theme 1: ... man
colin_12
Theme 2: ... cloudscape
Mr Darcy. Nice to have some foreground interest, rather than just a picture of the clouds...which is what I would have done!
Theme 3: ... family
Mr Darcy
Theme 4: ... emotions
A very hard choice between Andy, Colin_12, and TonyT. Andy gets my vote, only because he got two emotionS!

Family...........Mr Darcy
