Thought I'd make a start. It might get replaced but looking at the fog outside and the date I'm not so sure

Two of my best friends, Dave and Nick, trying to look mean, moody and magnificent but actually looking a bit bored. I did try using some movements on this to get a thin dof but I may have overdone it.

3rd - @Woodsy

Whoever voted for my shot, can they withdraw it as it poses difficultieis in my plans to become last place each month and win the title of MUPOTY........Most Useless Photographer Of The Year
