Just what I was thinking. (As well as the childhood stuff - oh for the space city hidden beneath my long lost feather bed....)

But I think Chris must have hit a wrong button - I got a vote! :eek:

And thanks for the mention Talysia. Sean (just don't ask) the Dalek has gone into hiding, the attention is going to his head.
 
I had a hard time picking between all the photos lacking color(except red, of course). Some truly gorgeous shots there. I finally went with Al's door. It's lacking color naturally, which is very cool, and I have a love of doors.
 
I too voted for Alchemist's door, very cool picture. I just hope someone was able to remove the hand print from the door.

It was a close call between lots of pics, with my top 3 also including Mouse (for the ladybird) and Bookstop's red umbrella pic.
 
My worry is what Alchemist had to do to get the hand print on the door in the first place...

:D

A mixture of ketchup, flour and water, with red food colouring added (unbeknownest to alchemissus) when it went orange. It took three attempts to wash the smell off.

Many thanks to Bookstop, hopewrites and Moonbat for the votes. I wasn't really expecting any.

For my vote, it was between Perp Man's fire (it's so...warm) and Moonbat's Lego, and I plumped for Moonbat. In theory, it's just a Lego astronaut. In practice, it's genius, and I smile every time I see it.
 
Loved, loved, loved this theme, and all the interpretations of it.

In the end I went for Moonbat's lego men, mainly because it made me smile, but also because, as I was going through the entries to finalise who I was going to vote for, I began making up little voices and conversations (in my head) for the guys in the background, and imagined that they were wondering what on earth Red was doing . . .

It's been many, many days/nights since I've had any kind of decent sleep - I think it's beginning to show:eek:::p

And THANK YOU Little Missy for the vote - an unexpected bonus :D
 
Woo! Thanks, TDZ.

SF, I was doing the same with Moonbat's lego men!
 
Congratulations Moonbat!

You know, modern Lego might be all glitz, glamour and complexity, but it just does not compare to the old classics.
 
Thank you everyone for the votes. I am really sohcked I won.
I have only entered about three times in a year.
I recently got a new smart phone with an 8 megapixel camera on, and I used that to get the shot. I had to fiddle with it a bit to stop the auto focus, but it seemed to work ok with Macro focus set. I don't think a phone camera will ever get the technical wonders of some of the previous winners (the ice turning to water springs to mind (pardon the pun)) but its nice to know that a well composed photo on a basic camera can still garner votes.

Thanks again to everyone who voted for me, :)
 
Congratulations, Moonbat.

Sorry I didn't vote for you but I just thought Talysia's apples looked so crisp and red and the pencil was just simplicity itself.
 
Congratulations Moonbat!! It was a fab shot, and it demonstrates the loveliness of this kind of challenge - you don't need to have super-duper kit to do well, just a sharp eye for composition, a knack for the camera, and quite often, a great sense of humour!

Looking forward to next months theme
