    This month's photo topic is "Your Pick" - Lets make April a free for all since we lost a week. Get out and shoot and share, you pick the topic.

    Happy shooting!
    Again, the rules are simple:
    • Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    • Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    • and most importantly have fun.

    Sat here waiting for one of those interminable "It's on it's way" deliveries, I thought I should pass the time productively but this is all I could think of. :(

    Keith, I hope you don't mind if I say what I thought when I looked at your image, how would the image look if you took the photo much lower down from a more horizontal angle instead of a flat image it would give a more jagged look to it.

    You are quite right Craig and thanks for taking the time to comment. Out of all the possible pov angles I could have chosen, I manage to come up with the most uninspiring! The lesson to be learned here is that boredom, frustration and photography do not make good bedfellows.
