Through 2015, I never took my self seriously, as planned.
I don't see why 2016 should be any different :D

So, to kick off, and of course its a bit of a Cheet(ah) Its one I took earlier this year, so its an old image.

Back of the net with a gob shot :woot:

Good grief - hadn't realised that TP52 2016 had kicked off already. Masses of submissions already for Week 0 - what's going on?
He looks bored - you been talking to him again PHP ? Excellent start mate.:clap:

I did mention a few days ago that I would put up a practice round as a few people were itching to get started,
This weeks theme ( for real) is also up now (y)

Nice old image and a good test of this years Acme super heavy duty shoe horn :) I'm with Andy, I can see a slight colour cast as well - maybe the photo has faded because it's so old? ;)
 
So hear we go then, for real.
Oi! I'm talking to you!
Are you De(a)f Leopard?
(Heavy metal, get it ? :D )

Just joking :D

From one predator to another

Hi, I think I preferred the Def leopard pun, the other one has background issues I am sure you are aware of which is a pity as it looks like an interesting model

Its supposed to be camouflaged they just don't stand around waiting to be photographed you know :D

Cheers Allan (y)
 
To be fair, surely the predator should just be the background, iirc they were invisible :)
I get where you're coing from though. I do like Gary's idea of using nuts and bolts for the background. Something for a re-shoot when/if it gets pulled?

Loving the Def Leppard pun, far more you :) saw them once at the Hammersmith Odeon (they were being supported by Rock Goddess who were the band I really went to see).
 
Photographically I prefer the leopard but good effort with the predator (y)

Surely it should be on tinfoil then :p

Fair point well presented (y)

Would have looked good laid on other nuts and bolts :)

Good idea (y)

Def Leopard :)

But #2 for me. I'd prefer him stood up with this or a different BG.

Cheers.

He was stood up actually, god knows why it looks like its laying down ( yes I agree BTW) :rolleyes:

Thanks ( for being honest) all (y)
Actually I don't like it either, I never achieved what I set out to do and did a re-shoot
 
The leopard shot is superb - great lighting and regal posture. That pun was terrible but had to laugh and so earned you the fit in my eyes. Predator maybe offers a more acceptable theme fit but the leopard takes it for photography and humour. :LOL:
