Fishie, I like the first one, and the guy who can't decide if he's a Cardinal or a 49er, and the last one - she has a neat expression on her face. Pity you couldn't get a full shot of the kid suffocating himself with the plastic bag. :wink

OK, here are my entries. I went down to Old Reliable, otherwise known as Centennial Olympic Park, shortly after 6pm. Always late, always in a panic. Losing the light and losing the people, I said to myself. But fear not, the fountain plays well at all hours, and it was still warm enough for we the people.

And here they are.

Roosters always try that crap on.

Mate i have no idea what white noise is. Ive read about it lots & the explanations seem to contradict themselves. It was a 5 meg shot put onto Smugmug & then linked so is that compression ?

I cant do it...i wont do it.

Since your not from America, I'll explain it to ya. White noise is uneducated, ignorant and tends to be found in trailer parks.

Actually it is easy, not even necessary to go to smugmug.

Right click the image and select properties and copy the url. In this case: http://humongous.smugmug.com/photos/2711964-M.jpg (http://humongous.smugmug.com/photos/2711964-O.jpg)

and just replace the 'M' with a 'O' .
