Absultely Fab photo. Colours are really good.

Interesting to see that you are suffering from the really, really irritating compact digital camera problem of dust spots on the image sensor (which show as the two round grey dots on the left side of the photo). I have this problem with my Sony DSC P200. There's loads about this issue on photo forums. There are a number of options: You can send your camera back to the manufacturer to get it sorted. You can open up the camera yourself and clean it - looks scarily complex to me! Or, I saw one fix which suggested placing a vaccum cleaner hose over the lense and in effect sucking the dust out. I read a lot about this and then tried it (very carefully!) and amzingly it did remove the worst of the dust and the camera is fine!! Not necessarily recommending this, and strictly no liability for damage to .org members cameras accepted!! The less drastic option is to use Photoshop or something similar to digitally erase the marks......

Still love the photo.

Hank

It'd be a piece of **** to touch that up using Photoshop. You'd be done in about twenty seconds. And that includes opening the programme first.

Am I right in thinking we are ok to enter without the presence of a bike in shot?

Even a wet road or puddle would do. In keeping with the forum, the bike should be included.

Not much more I can add to that really, following on from last competition it should be fairly easy to keep it on topic esp. judging by todays weather!

Good hunting
The above quote is from the OP of this thread, it needs a bike in it.

Fabulous!

The top front half of the bike looks like a lions head to me.

And my contribution.

Nowhere near as stunning as G2D, but as competitions are all about participating,

It's a Canon 400D which has an sensor cleaner, I'll check the lens tonight to look for spots though
