Winning last month’s competition was unexpected, so that’s the theme for this months competition - Unexpected.

It could be anything from a reaction, to a passing shot, to a candid photo, to a happy surprise. It will be interesting to see your own interpretation of the theme!

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month
Entries and discussion on a single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Winners should update the Competition Wiki (it's easy)
Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.
If after 7 days of a competition ending, either a winner has not been declared, or the winner has not created a new thread, a new thread should be started, with the topic set as whatever the topic was 10 years ago, based on this wiki.

Someone needs to get this going…

11 years ago at the F1 GP at Silverstone - Red Arrows were doing their usual pre-race display - I pointed the camera and held the shutter button down and got this:

I think this was an unexpected outcome from the batsman's point of view.

Looks like this month's competition is proving trickier for submissions than I expected, when I decided on the theme.

There have been some great entries so far though!

Hopefully, we'll get some more entries over the next week or so.

Thanks to all who entered this month - it was a bit of a tricky theme, so your efforts are appreciated.

I have decided to go with AndyJWB's entry as it was certainly unexpected and lovely surprise!

Congrats Andy and over to you for this month's theme.
