"Composing a photo is like an ICT goal: you have a few pints, get your ticket, wait around for ages, then Marius bounces one of the bar...sorry, what were we talking about again?"

Teacher, canoe builder, football pundit...no end to Mantis' talents.

Well done big fellah!

[Scotty]

Nice one Mantis .... excellent photo.

[Kingsmills]

I wish I had that talent with a camera.

[The Mantis]

Cheers guys, I was away hillwalking yesterday (does that count as another talent) and it got pointed out to me by somebody on the bus who had bought it. Never got back till 8pm.

(moderator's hat on) I'm moving this to AG  :003:

[Kingsmills]

Thought I would leave that task to yourself.

A quality picture Mr Mantis, well done. I've trying for the perfect shot for years, maybe one day I'll be in the right place at the right time....and have my camera ready!

Mantis a cracking photo mate, is the yellow sky caused by use of a filter or due to the camera pointing towards the sunset, trick of the light?

[Connie.Orr]

That is such a beautiful shot, Mantis, well done.

Talking of having a camera at the ready when the perfect shot presents itself - please don't laugh at this guys but I (and many others there that day) saw the Loch Ness Monster herself at Urquhart Castle no less...4 camera phones and a digtial camera between us and not a pic of the beautiful beast taken.

There was a half decent sky but I 'enhanced' it a bit in Photoshop........ :023:

Here's a genuine sky!
