Yes, I have it on good authority that the photographer started the project on friday night, shot it on saturday night, and submitted it before the deadline on sunday.

I know, I wish that they could declare official 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winners this month as the creativity is off the charts

Wow! I love the reversal of the MINIs On The Dragon in picture 16, but the MINI on the truck in 15 is very clever. Of course, I'm a little biased towards #7 and no, that's not my entry. I don't think even I would vote for mine.

Outstanding photos this month! Well done everybody!

Just in case someone cries motion photochomp shenanigans for #2, here is the rig setup that was used from odds & ends in my garage.


PS was used to remove the black thread, then color and level adjustments; that's it. All motion was from the camera rig. And yes, that's my skate board from the 70s and my sneaker skate from the 80s (have I dated myself yet? )

Off to mow the lawn...

I can't believe I just looked at a butt. I hope that isn't a butt. Please make it not a butt.

Wonderful work everyone!
Really hard to choose, but settled for 12--nice composition. Bamatt is right though; there should be 2nd and third place awards!

(No. 9: naughty naughty ! )

Excellent work on all of the compositions.

I was leaning towards the dump truck photo at first, but then I remembered that the "special note" for the month was that it had to be a mini die cast. Maybe I was just being too literal, but I had to pick the dragon on a MINI. - seems to be all thats on my mind lately.

The Dragon on the MINI is really funny.
