So - thinking caps on and lets see some great images again. The world is your lobster as Del Boy would have said.;)

It's a shame we cannot choose a shot taken before the dates :mad: Lets hope I can find something :eek:

Thank you Carol

It was a lucky day, as the little Black Cap had knocked itself out on a upstairs window and was then rescued from the jaws of a dog. No doubt it still had a headache - enough to rest quietly in the hand (while I took a picture or two with my free hand :D ) before flying off the following morning. :)

Here's an oldie from me back from the days of the comp on the old DCMag site.

It was a lifesize iron piggy bank precariously perched on a sturdy lampstand*, or so I thought until it fell over and nearly crushed me!

* removed in Photoshop

Ah yes I remember that one oggalily - beware of flying pigs knocking over lampstands eh!

I've got my idea, now all I need are the props . . with a bit of luck I can nail this one, the CC and my regular Flickr challenge all in one shot. That'd be a first.

I'd like to ask about the rules and how they relate to an image like the flying pig. Although the wings don't look as they were photographed, this would require at least three images - pig, wings & background. Do they all need to be taken over the weekend, because to do a good job it will take a couple of days sat in front of Photoshop. If they don't all need to be taken over the weekend, then which part does? The pig, the wings or both? Perhaps given the amount of Photoshop time required, the creation of the image is enough in itself?
