He definitely looks as though he's having Fun. :) I'd have loved to see him in action, either singing or playing an instrument.
The b&w processing works well. :thumbs:
Jean
Yep, he looks a happy bunny to me...good capture

I like the great eye contact you have but like Jean said playing and not looking at the camera may have been the better shot...
still good though...:clap::clap::clap:
Good shot Jeff... he certainly looks like he's having fun :thumbs:
SarahLee

The B&W really works on that one.
Great expression on his face, you can just see how much he's enjoying himself and I really like the out of focus saxophone? in the foreground.

Love the processing and DoF on this :clap::clap::clap:
Certainly looks like he´s having fun. I can see why the shot of him singing wouldn´t work though as he looks more like he´s in pain than having fun ;)

That's what I thought...the shot where he looked directly at me...as if to say..."I'm having fun..and I don't mind you taking my photo"...seemed the better choice...

I take you point completely. :)
There's something very cool about a sax player though ..... especially when he gets a bit carried away :naughty: :D

I'm sure that he's enjoying himself singing - the photo just doesn't convey it in the same way as the original one.
Great fun image, the B&W works great.

as easy as 1+1
SarahLee
25-07-2009, 10:52
:D and to think I spent 2 days trying to think of something that said "easy".
Such a simple interpretation, but so effective.
I notice that you've managed to catch Pi on the wall above too - so you have "easy as Pi" in there as well.
Very clever :thumbs:
I love the B&W conversion. It really adds something to the shot.
hehe... Nice interpretation Jeff. it's worked well and the B&W with vignette adds to it.
Hi Kenny sorry for late replies!!
Fun: I love this shot with its b&w treatment, and clarity. I really like the way he has eye contact with you and wouldn't change that. I have however moved your photo around a little and think it would work with the sax cropped out!! (just my opinion) Great capture! :clap::clap:
Easy: Having only just escaped the classroom, this is not inspiring me much, but is a good shot well thought of!! Perhaps though in light of recent events H1N1 on the board would have been more apt!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

...but that is a fair point. Out of the options you have posted I would also have gone for the first.
Easy - I really like the processing on this one and of couse it fits the theme beautifully :clap:
OOoooh, well done on the 'Fun' shot, lovely conversion too.
Easy, cracking shot!! Really like the composition and choice of take on theme for that. Spot on :thumbs:
haha very simple but very clever :)
hehe great - looks much easier than the maths on the wall ;)
jeangenie
26-07-2009, 21:52
Great take on the theme - and I love the way you've processed it. B&W seems to 'fit' the classroom scene. :clap::clap:
I don't remember maths being that easy, though. :shrug:
Jean
B&W fits this image and its a really great take on the theme, It reminds me of having "see me" written all over my jotter in red pen :D
:clap:
maddog.mark
28-07-2009, 20:03
Another great idea that has been well executed. Can't add anymore to what has already been said so I'll just applaud the shot.

I agree, it´s a well processed and simple take on theme. Spot on :clap::clap::clap:

Kenny, thats a cracking shot, really like the oof background and the redbreast of the robin works well against the green.
Very nice shot. Well done Sir.
karmagarda
02-08-2009, 13:15
I think it's a super photo. It doesn't scream out "colour" to me, but then again neither does my own for this weeks theme! So that doesn't really matter to me, because I still love it :D.
Superb positioning of the Robin btw (screams rule of thirds!). Nicely done :thumbs:
Kiwi Jaz
02-08-2009, 18:44
That sure is a nice shot. Sharp and interesting.
Spartacus
02-08-2009, 19:27
Yes that's a great capture Jeff I've done a few bird shots and can appreciate the skill involved, and a brilliant oof B/G to boot ...:clap::clap::clap:
lovely shot of the Robin with smashing dof. Well done :thumbs:
SarahLee
02-08-2009, 21:22
I'm starting to get very jealous of your bird shots now. First the Kingfisher and now this!
Lovely detail in the Robin's feathers and I love the oof background. Colours are really working well for me.
jeangenie
02-08-2009, 21:30
This works for me - very well. :thumbs: There's quite a lot of space/oof tree above the little chap - but it works really well. Maybe because, as karmagarda pointed out, it follows the rule of thirds. :thumbs:
Well done for getting the shot too - birds aren't famous for posing for the camera. :lol:
Jean
Lovely colours and a GREAT bird shot! :thumbs:
Maybe a boost in contrast? Although not sure how that'd turn out with the different shades of colours you have [dark/light]
Superb capture Jeff. Sharp and detailed, wonderful OOF bg which sets of the Robin nicely. And the colours work so well together.
What a great shot that is. Fantastic bokek, excellent composition and sharp in all the right places :clap::clap::clap:
Kenny, thats a cracking shot, really like the oof background and the redbreast of the robin works well against the green.
Very nice shot. Well done Sir.

Week 31 : Food

..fit for a dredger...
:)
SarahLee
09-08-2009, 19:57
Very interesting shot.
There's lots to look at and ponder over there.
The first thing that takes my eye is the mugs and what's written on them (I can't quite get the one on the right), then I'm wondering about what the newspaper underneath the plate is all about.
Finally I'm drawn back to the plate. What I first took to be a fairly ordinary plate of food isn't so ordinary on closer inspection - at least I don't think so. It kind of looks like fake "play" food.
That makes me start wondering where this was taken - is it a scaled down model of somewhere?
As I said - lots to look at and think about and all quite intriguing. I really like this.
jeangenie
09-08-2009, 22:02
This feels a bit like 2 photos - and I'm not too sure about it. I think it would look more 'connected' if the mugs were closer to the Dredger's breakfast - perhaps on the table - with dark, strong, steaming tea in them. I thought the food looked like play food, too - especially the mushroom. :)
I love the idea, though. :)
Jean
I think it's a great idea, the lighting has worked beautifully. The mugs lit by electric and the breakfast by natural. I agree, that they feel a little too far apart though.
I agree it looks very dolls house but i dont htink thats a probelm to be honest :)

karmagarda
10-08-2009, 17:30
I disagree with all the comments here. I really really like this! I love the composition, the fact that the Mugs and Plate are at extreme edges of the photo, the way the photo looks like it's not straight... but you can't prove it! It makes it so interesting to look at. I wouldn't change it at all. :thumbs:
You know what, I odly REALLY like this.
The eyes DID get drawn to the mugs, first. But the second I saw tha distant and lonely plate of food, I sorta 'eased down' and I really like the loneliness/isolation/simplicty of the dish. It isn't the normal food shot - and that is what I like about it
:thumbs: from me! :clap:
:thumbs: from me too :clap:
SarahLee
10-08-2009, 21:08
So it was all full-size and not a scaled down model - although I was half right with the food not being real.
Looks like an interesting museum :)
Anyway, it was definitely a :thumbs: from me.
The fact that I looked again at the food and thought that it looked like "play food" was all part of the appeal and intrigue of the image for me.
It made me question exactly what I was looking at and start looking around for more clues to the scale etc.
What an intriguing photograph. I love it then I hate it. I think I love it for the composition. I think that's spot on, then I hate it for the fake food :shrug:, but I still keep going back to look at it. It's infuriating :razz:
So well done :clap::clap:
Dark Star
12-08-2009, 19:52
I can only apologise for 4 weeks missed - my head mustve been up my arse!
So
Fun: Thats a great portrait and the look on his face says it all :) very nice indeed
Easy: Is great - nice taken and its the look (if thats the word) of the two students whos body language seems to be saying "this is anything but easy" that makes it for me!
Colour: That is a great bird shot: sharp, well composed and I love the bg and that space youve left! :D Superb!
Food; This one, for me, is all about the composition, understated and interesting with lots for the eye to feed on :) Its different and its good :D :thumbs:
I promise to keep up to date from now on:)
I love the food shot, only slight crit would be the bit at the top left should either be in or out of frame, not enough of it in frame for me to instantly recognise it so Its distracting.
Being pick with that though, excellent image that I could see someone buying for use in a mag.

16-08-2009, 15:36
Colour - lovely robin, lovely green BG, just a shame he couldn’t have perched on something more natural but I know that’s not really your fault.
Food - I think this is a fantastic idea and I really like the composition. Eyes straight to mugs, and then whats this?… food that looks a bit odd… fake food?… what’s this all about then??? Intriguing is the word I would use. :clap:

karmagarda

Very fitting for the theme. The quality of the photo itself and the post processing is excellent. But there's something niggling me, and I can't quite put my finger on it...

17-08-2009, 20:24
:clap::clap::clap:
I'm really liking this one.
There's always something to draw you into the photo in your shots and this one is no exception. I'm trying to identify all the bits of exposed debris around the boats.
Lovely contrast between the texture of the grass and the smooth sand/mud and the processing/tinting really finishes it off beautifully.
The sepia is a good choice and the subject is very good fitting the theme well.
I wish I could see a bit more of the inside of the boats/barges but I don't think Manfrotto do a range of scaffolding yet so thats probably being a bit harsh :D
Nice shot.
Yet another great shot from you and the monoconversion really gives it a sense of age and abandonment. :thumbs:
I think the niggle KG may have is that I'd like to see a bit more space behind the boat on the RHS as it feels a bit 'tight'.
bigsteve
19-08-2009, 17:05
Loads of detail in the larger image and I like how you used the receding tide to expose the debris around the carcass! :)

:thumbs: that's exactly it. You know me better than I do! I think a little more space behind the boat and possibly even a foot more in front would have sealed the deal for me here.
Still a great photo though, but well spotted Jill!

Exposed: Sorry for the late comment - but it's definitely :thumbs: from me. I agree with Jill - a bit more space would seal the deal, but I still love it - a very evocative image. :)
Mono: Wow - I love this too. Instant, unreserved :thumbs:
For some reason, it reminds me of the technique in art of drawing with dots (can't remember what it's called) but I could see that on a gallery wall any day. :love:

Why is it that every time I think I've commented on all the 52s, there's always one that seems to slip past me?
It seems to have been this one this week - so I'm sorry for missing you out yesterday.
And what a shot to have missed!
It's one of those things that you'll either love or hate. For me - :love: I love it! :love:
It doesn't look like a photo at all but more like a pencil sketch. Very, very clever processing and bang on theme.
I can't really think of anything else to say, other than well done :clap: :clap: :clap:
Spartacus
25-08-2009, 13:50
That's another interesting shot Jeff, fits in well for the theme and in general I like it, but just a bit over processed for my taste...:thinking:
bigsteve
25-08-2009, 15:08
Marvellous image, and I love the fact it's actually a photo!
I'm going to have a go at one of these myself.
Brilliant take on the theme too! :)
Got to agree with just about everyone else. Cracking interpretation :love:

Exposed is good, nice interpretation - might have liked a boost in contrast! But good nonetheless!
Mono: Wow - stunning self portrait! Thats excellent the processing wonderful - it has oomph! Great :clap:
My first thought was no, don't like it. Fits the theme but, no.
Coming back to take a second look, its really original and looks almost like a sketch.
10 out of 10 for not being boring and for pushing the limits of what makes a photograph.
You made me think about your pic, that can't be a bad thing.

:bang: :bang: :bang: Summer Fruit!
Why couldn't I have thought of that? Now that you've said it I've got so many possible ideas in my head . . . a week too late though!
As you can gather, I love this interpretation of season. Definitely my favourite take on the theme so far :love:
Nice simple shot, great colour and the fruit looks really appetising.
Was this taken as they were growing on the bush? It's got that lovely natural feel about it.
Not as intriguing or exciting as some of your other shots, but there's definitely something about it that I like :thumbs:
kennysarmy
30-08-2009, 21:36
yes....taken on the bush.
Using a raynox 250 with my 430EX II flash attached to my 70-200 with a hairband lol and a diffuser fitted to just soften the flash a little...(as copied from somones rig in the "show us your macro rig" thread on here)
SarahLee
30-08-2009, 21:49
:D :lol: It never ceases to amaze me what normal every day objects people use as photography equipment.
Who would have thought that a hairband could have so many uses?
If I ever get a macro lens I'll have to pay that thread a visit.

07-09-2009, 18:23
Well you've done it again !!!!!
Even, with an awful theme like grunge, you've managed to come up with something that really grabs the imagination and draws you into the photo :thumbs:
Great capture of their postures and the girl's expression is brilliant. Definitely a photo I want to keep going back to, wondering what they're doing, why they're hanging about outside a book? shop, what they're talking about etc etc
Processing is spot-on for both the subject matter and the theme. A very good week for you from all perspectives :clap:
karmagarda
07-09-2009, 20:26
Catchup again!
Season... oh my, you gotta look at the larger sizes of this. It's really really good. DOF is amazing. I was wondering how you managed such a close shot and shallow DOF using f11 aperture at 70mm... then I read the raynox 250 bit! Excellent photo :thumbs:
Grunge - again, excellent. Both a street photo and grunge photo. The grittiness really really suit this, I love this shot. Super stuff from you again :thumbs:

10-09-2009, 19:41

Very, very strong image.
Not something I would ever have thought of doing but it works really well - in fact I'm stunned by how well it's worked!
I wish you hadn't told us that it was 5 images though . . . so far I can pick out 4 distinct ones (I think) but can't quite work out the 5th.

14-09-2009, 21:46
It's a very clever shot and I have nothing but respect for the work it must have taken. :clap:
If I look at it in isolation I struggle to see how it fits the theme of respect, probably my lack of imagination at play. ;)

I don't know....something does nt sit quite right with me on the sepia toning here....looks a bit flat...but when I try and address that with a contrast boost I seem to lose detail on the horses face :(
karmagarda
21-09-2009, 14:37
Yeah, now that you mention it I can kinda see what you are saying. PP might be difficult on saving the horse, you would probably have to add a new layer and isolate the horse before doing the high contrast adjustment. Then maybe do something like a Soft light or something with a transparency of 50% on the new layer (after the contrast adj to original layer) to try save it again. But I would really have to have a play to see what exactly I would do!
Edit: Just to add to that, I still really like the original as posted! But I can appreciate what you are saying about it.

Excellent idea - and I like the overall effect. There's lots of colour, lots to look at and in my book this definitely commands Respect. :thumbs:

Respect: Says it all for me - weird, wacky, colourful :D nice!
Friendship: A fine study, think I would have preferred B&W to sepia but the comp and detail and idea is just spot on!

Sorry - I'm a bit behind with commenting this week.
Friendship : I love the composition and subject matter in this one. You can really see the bond between them and it's absolutely spot on for theme. Processing is perfect, sepia suits the image so much more than colour or a straight B&W conversion.
Everything's there and I should absolutely love it, but there's something that's not sitting quite right with me (maybe the "flatness" that you mentioned????? I can't quite put my finger on it though)
Still a great image and beautiful interpretation of the theme :thumbs:
Fresh Start : Brilliant!
I'm surprised how many of these fresh start shots could almost double up for grunge.
I love this interpretation and it's great to see that old derelict building sold and waiting to get a new lease of life.
I can't really add much more other than to say I love it!

Friendship: I love the interpretation and although I'm not a great fan of sepia, I think it works with this shot. I've been trying to work out what is raising questions in other people's minds on this, and I wonder if the crop's a bit too tight, or if people would prefer to see at least a glimpse of the girl's face. Friendship is a two-way thing and the incline of the pony's head is friendly, but we can't see the girl's expression at all.
Anyway, I like it, like the interpretation, and as for the sepia - well just this once if you must. :D
Fresh Start: That's a great idea for a difficult theme. That building looks so sad and forlorn, but somebody is going to take it on and give it a whole new lease of life. Excellent shot. Big thumbs up from me.

thanks for the recent kind comments.
the last shot was a merge of 3 photos taken at -2, 0 and +2 exposure compensation. All the shots were hand held and photomatix has done a pretty good job of compensating for my movement between the shots - if it had nt I'd have had to have gone back with the tripod...
I used the painterly preset in photomatix then output a TIFF to photoshop before adding some contrast and reducing the saturation....
I am really pleased at how well it has come out.....
Love that Fresh Start shot Jeff :thumbs: a great interpretation of a very tough theme. Thanks for the details on the processing to. What's the painterly preset ?
Daysleeper40
28-09-2009, 18:30
HUGE catchup - I'm sorry...
Exposed: Love the tone of this shot - and all the exposed debris are keeping me interested. Very good take on the theme :thumbs:
Mono: LOVE it. The only thing bugging me is that there is no definition to the tip of your nose, but idea wise it bang on for me.
Season: Sorry but I don't like the composition - everthing looks a bit squished. Level of detail is great though.
Grunge: Really like the PP on this - the style of the shot as well as the subject really fit the theme.
Respect: I like the idea but I think there is a bit too much going on with all five images. I think you could have made a stronger statement with a simpler shot.
Friendship - I'm not sure the sepia quite works either and would be interested to see a mono conversion. I like the sentiment though - and could that pony be more content?!
Fresh Start: From what I've seen so far this is shot of the week for this theme! Brilliant take on the theme and again I love the style to the PP :clap::clap:
I'll try to stay up to date from now on! :bonk:
Respect - Love this, it's so clever and colourful and anti-respect. Great twist on the theme :clap::clap:
Friendship - This definitely grows on you Jeff. There's an obvious closeness there and I like the conversion too :thumbs: from me
Fresh Start - something I would never have thought of but it does what it says on the tin :clap::clap::clap:
Spartacus

Sometime the answer is staring us in the face, I like the sad looking top windows, looks like eyes telling a story of not being loved for many years...:thumbs:
I think this is a fabulous shot and hits the theme well :clap: from me
as sarah says fresh start is brilliant, the colours, the composition everything is fantastic imo :)

the dof with the raynox is really too small for this type of shot but I don't have a proper macro lens :(

I had exactly the same problems as you this week with much the same kit - Raynox 150 and a plastic bottle hanging over a bowl. Getting the drip consistent seemed the most difficult part... until I got to the focusing and timing. I think you've done a good job - it does look a bit soft but it's bang on theme and a tricky shot to pull off ;)

Well done Jeff... I've tried this and not had any success myself, you've done well.. the DOF is a swine, and even more so to get the aiming so the drop lands in the DOF.
Kiwi Jaz

Nice one. I know what you mean about the DoF. I have extension tubes (£6 ones!) so have the same problem.

I can see how these shots are so much harder to get than first thought, it's a shame it's a little soft but it's still a good shot and I'm sure better than anything I could achieve.

You never seem to go for the easy route and not having all the right gear never stops you trying, so well done...:thumbs:
Passion - I know it's been said already but that's a heck of a lot of pandas :D
But it's a great take on the theme and she looks so happy to be surrounded by them :clap::clap:

I like it Jeff, B&W suits the image very well.. and it fits the theme nicely. I feel I'm drawn to the windows in the background behind the hedge though.. possibly because they are lighter ?
karmagarda
19-10-2009, 09:03
Another good take on the theme! Nicely done. :thumbs:
How do those trollies manage it :lol:
I've got a picture somewhere of one on it's side on the beach not far from here.
Very good interpretation, spot on theme and well converted. Like John said, my eyes are drawn through the picture from the great lead in the path makes, pause at the trolley and then try to make out window details.
It is difficult though, last week I wanted to move geography around a bit to suit my picture but I can't :bang:

Out of context, have to agree about the windows, but it's still a good shot.
Bubble(s) very nicely done, perhaps would have liked to see the whole of the bubble, but it's only a minor niggle.
Mark
Bubbles - a great, fun shot. I like that you've caught mum in the reflection!
Dark Star
25-10-2009, 14:45
Water - great crown shot :) A boost in contrast might give it a little oomph but well really caught!
I like all the elements in out of context - the rogue trolley is nicely framed by them :)
Bubbles another great shot! Good idea well lit and well posed :)
And again apologies for the late catch up :)
Out of Context, doesn't do much for me, I'm afraid, but it's nothing wrong with the shot.
Bubbles - love it!

I loved the other shot that you put in "general photo sharing", but I can see why you picked this for your 52.
The other one was a fantastic portrait, but this one has more focus on the bubble - not an easy thing to get right.
Lovely colours and light on the surface of the bubble and yes I can spot mum (although I probably wouldn't have if you hadn't mentioned it)

Bubble - cracking!!!
Low Down: Hmm, I've heard about these tilt shifts, not seen many[one] this isn't too bad at all, certainly on theme, but maybe a smaller crop to erase a little bit of the top? I feel there's a [very teeny] amount too much.

:thumbs: I wondered if we'd get any tilt shifts this week.
It's something I thought about attempting, but didn't manage to get out to find any suitable locations.
Well done!
It's worked really well. The trees in particular have that model look down perfectly.
You've picked a really good viewpoint to try the effect with and the end result is spot on :clap:
Was that done with a tilt shift lens or have you done it all in PP?
how would you achieve a shot like "low dow" ?
If you search for "tilt shift" on the forum, I'm sure you'll find lots of examples. I've seen quite a few recently. IIRC there was even one thread with a link to a site where you can just load a normal photo in and it'll convert it for you.

I'm not really liking this as much as your other stuff...
It a nice bit of PP work but I've seen loads of these so it not anything original for me, and if nothing else you do come up with some fantastic original ideas.
So a good effort but your better than a play around with photoshot...
Sorry Jeff...:shake:

07-11-2009, 21:15
Time for a big catch up from me. :)
Out of context: Spot on for the theme and sadly, an all-too-common sight. But you saw the possibility of the shot and I like the feeling that the person who dumped the trolley made a feeble attempt to hide it. Well spotted.
Bubble: This has got to be my favourite of all the gorgeous bubble shots. It's an adverting agency's dream shot. :love: :clap::clap::clap:
btw - I wouldn't have spotted Mum if you hadn't mentioned her.
Low down: I obviously need to read up on 'tilt shifts'. I didn't know there was software for it and thought a tilt shift was an expensive, demanding lens. It does look like a model village, and is definitely Low Down. :)

Excellent! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Took me a couple of seconds to get my head around it, but that is sooooo clever!
It's one to keep going back to and looking at again and again.
10/10 from me :thumbs:

This is doing my head in - in a good way - it's soooo dammed clever. :clap:
At first sight I only 'saw' the front on shot, then the 'profile' shot leaped out at me and now I'm struggling to see the front on shot again .... no, wait ...it's come back ... err, no it's profile ...errr, err......ok I give up!!!
Absolutely brilliant and very Salvador Dali. :thumbs: I hope you didn't go without sleep for three nights, though. :lol:

Self, I got it straight away *smug* blinking amazing stuff! :clap: :clap:
Very clever and well executed! I like it a lot, even if it is making my eyes go round in circles a bit like one of Escher's drawings! :clap:

:clap: best by far! The initial wasn't obvious enough for me until you explained it. Then the second was too obvious after seeing the first one :lol:. But that re-edit is a cracker. :thumbs:

ooooh no - it's scaring me!! :eek:
Got it straight away and while I can absolutely appreciate the PP - totally seamless - and can definately see this hanging in an art gallery it really is creeping me out a little bit! Personal preference - not for me, but it really is brilliantly executed. Top of the class even if I wouldn't have it on my wall :thumbs:

Not your best effort to date, but bang on theme in fairness. Not the most inspiring of themes, but after that corker of a photo last week I think we can forgive you!

I fell your pain, but as said already, you had a cracking week last week...:clap::clap::clap:

:clap: :clap: :clap:
Now that's just brilliant!
The first one was very, very good, but with that extra bit of time this one's just superb.
Organised : On theme, good dof, it's never going to live up to last week's shot but it's not bad.
Pretty rubbish theme this week for coming up with anything exciting and I'm glad that you used the start of the week for working on your self shot rather than trying to get something for organised.
I really wouldn't have wanted to miss that.
:eek: think I might have been calling you kenny :lol:... who's kenny :thinking:?
Shhhhhhh I was thinking the same thing :$:

Been there.
Feel your pain.
Don't beat yourself up.
It's a fine photo - not your best but you can't be top of the class every week ;):p
I may have been calling you Kenny too... so come on, who the hell is Kenny???

:plusone: :agree:
Why are we all so uninspired by 'Organised'? :shrug:
You're definitely allowed an 'it's ok and on-theme' shot this week after last week's magnificent 'self' (all versions!).
:thumbs:
btw - I never thought to ask who Kenny is and who's in his army - but I'm now bursting with curiosity. :D

'We're on the march with Kenny's army, we're all going to Wembley, and we really shake them up when we win the FA Cup, 'cos Liverpool are the greatest football team'...

Ahh. Cheers for the explanation!:thumbs:
That new Self... that's just amazing... Superb bit of PP there Jeff :thumbs:
Organised, it's on theme, and it works. Maybe not very inspiring, but after last weeks...
Not your best but nice lighting and DOF :)

Self, both shots... the pp is incredible I wouldn't know where to start, they are both very clever.:clap:
Organised..... I'm with you all the way on this, a horrible theme. You've got the shot, it's not your best but it fits the theme...lets all move on....oh god Confused!!!!!!!!:bang:

I'm confused about how you've done that - two shots or a slow shutter speed?
It's a neat idea and has certainly caused Confusion for me. :D
... and I've just remebered how confusing Rubik's cubes were to solve!!! :razz:
Jean
Very good Jeff... spot on theme and very cleverly done. I never did manage to solve one...
