Well done on a great win DD, great shot that had a real sense of movement with a great reflection which got my vote. I was torn between your entry, kerbsides and Wotcars but your just clinched it.

I loved all the entries this week with some great takes on the theme.

Thanks to DigiDiva, hssutton, markgozz, wil59 for my votes.

Up- Kerbside - When we Grow Up

Really nice shot and loved the retro processing felt it had a good sense of fun about it as well, only minor crit was maybe a bit more space above the mans head but other than that spot on and a real contender.

Down - WotCars - Scrapple

Love the shot and processing, nicely setup with all the photography words a really niced polished entry and another really strong contender.

Looking forward to the next theme.

Wow, I can't believe I have won..Tried hard enough in the past and at last, I did it!

Thanks to AndyDo, Dan123, ianpinion, jediboy, Mudcrabmal. Ogri1st, Semaj & Wavemachine for my votes, much appreciated but most of all, thanks to you guys here for helping me improve.

Ups - hssuttons 'Dogs At Play - I felt this was too tight a crop and has there been a little more space around the dogs, we would have seen where they were playing. Hoever a crisp shot that met the theme.

Downs - Kerbside's 'When We Grow Up' - A great take on the theme and I really liked the processing. We are all kids at heart and the shot captured this. I like the bleached effect, you need to give me tips on 'how to'.

I have the new theme in mind, so will set this up now, as won't have much time later or AM tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback Wavemachine.

Ups - Scrabble. I think this is a great idea, and I had planned on a scrabble board with different words.
Great idea well delivered. My only real critique, is that to my eye the board is a little wonky. But overall a great photo that reminded me of many happy hours of scrabble play.

Downs - Dogs at play. These dogs look like they're having loads of fun! Nice crisp image, Well focused.
It may have caught my eye more if the photo was taken from lower down (although you already look pretty low) and maybe a bit to the right. That may have brought the eyes into the shot which could have made the photo a bit more interesting.

My photo was a rushed job late Sunday evening. Didn't really expect to get a vote so thanks to JimmyOsram.

Congrats to Chris for her win, will give some critique later as I have only just got in from working away.

I had photos for this, but did not get them processed as I was not home to get them in before the deadline.
