Good one

Nice entry - love the choice of monotone too

Great shot!

Lovely shot - have no idea what it says though

I like the noise in this. It adds to the aged look of the shot.... and I usually dislike noisy shots. Is that a mark on the paper just above the pen nib or do you have dust on your sensor?

I like the lighting on the pencils

Nice one

was just about to say the same Friiskiwi

Lovely entry

Well done - I liked algebra at school

I think the pencil shavings imply there is a pencil in an artistic way - similar to the swings contest entries that don't show the actual seat

Good one!

Oh man - you broke your kids arm for the purposes of an entry. That's extreme art lol! :-P

I agree with mperri that the seat is implied and I like the take and execution of the theme

Nice one

I don't know why but this reminds me of the swings that they used to have at our local drive-in theatre. Very nostalgic. GL

Nice one

Wow - nice entry - I like that it is framed by the blossoms and the shadow in top and bottom make it appear like a vignette

Nice one.

Whatever it is - I can't see it. I do think this looks nicer than the colour version though

Nice entry

Nice one

That's an awful thing to live with.

Beautiful

Awesome - look out higher levels!!!

Brilliant! Looks like they were all sitting on little bar stools, minding their business before they got wacked!!

Nice one

Cool - I'd only get through a couple of em before getting sleepy

Good one... I can confirm this horse placed last

Congrats on 3rd place

Congrats Langstrum

Nice entry - good luck

Much better, well done author

I like it

Love this

I love frogs

Good one

Wow - looks kinda neat - good find

I would crop the top of this so that the stairs are what is seen

FANTASTIC

It's a wombat - you really don't want to run over one of these ... like hitting a boulder!!

Yeah - up yours too mate.... lol -- Oh I just read the descriptio and it makes perfect sense!! I wouldn't have thought they would have sign language at a wedding - shows you how much I know about the hearing impaired

I do like your take but I think it could have been executed a little better composition wise

Awesome pic but has a PS look about it (could be that I am a newb and therefore don't really comprehend what I am seing) - can you explain the shot a little for me - I shall hold my vote till then.

Aaaah - what exactly is that burnt out highlight?? I can't see the water ?

Wind an earth - good one

Nice & simple - this appeals to me

Authour - the horizon looks a little crooked to me .... maybe it's just that damn bird!

The sky and water have let you down a bit here - they both appear as blown highlights

Agree with author - but regardless, only 2 are required to be on theme
