Hi all,

After winning the May challenge with my boat picture, i'm starting the thread about the next challenge.

The theme I have decided on is REFLECTIONS


•The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being the 30th June
•The exif must be posted with your shot
•Keep the images posted to a decent size please, 1024px wide max
•I'll choose the winner this month (with the winner choosing the theme for next month, then deciding who should win that months)
•The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials

Happy shooting, and I look forward to seeing your shots!



PS, can someone sticky this thread please?

Got the grey-matter working......water, mirrors, glass, car body panels, buildings, sculptures, wet pavements, bald heads........there is so much scope.

should be some great results based on the pics often seen in this forum
