You took a good photo of your self Andrea, clever thinking and on theme
Thanks, Dave. Behind the camera is my preferred position
Ha my first thought was this was an old picture. Good job you pointed out it was a do over
Its worked well, nice colours and a good
bit of bokeh going on in the bg too
Thank you
I like the use of a car wing mirror, nice take on the theme
Thanks, Tilly, I was puzzling over this one for a while and then this just presented itself to me.
Nice/different Occupation. I bet if you lived/worked in Cambridge you'd be taking shots of these punt blokes from different POVs all the time. Are they embarrassed by the young lady on the bridge pointing a camera at them?
Car mirror reflection: great idea for You ... even if it has been done before.
... luscious OOF BG

Thank you, David, I think they are very used to being photographed and had a very practiced 'patter' as they departed and sailed under the bridge. As for 'young'; oh I wish
You - a really good take on the theme, well framed by the mirror.
Thanks, Chris. I'm glad I just happened to spot myself in the car mirror as it gave me an answer to my me/you ponderings
Yep, Iike the "you" shot a lot, I did consider a something along those lines myself, but thats very nicely done.
Thanks, Mark. I know it's not original, and indeed my current (soon to be former) avatar on here is a similar one from about 15 years ago, but I liked the fact that I was in my birthplace when I took it, which added another layer to it for me.
I think it's unavoidable; it's not possible to come up with something fantastic every week. Every thread here has at least a couple of so-so shots. Of course that doesn't stop me falling weeks behind because I can't come up with a good idea!
That's my problem too, Nick. Puzzle and ponder too long, and suddenly a week has gone by and you're playing catch-up again
A different kind of selfies and it's all about You. Nice camera too. If I'm being a tack picky, the green patch behind is a bit distracting.
Thanks, Stan. I hadn't really noticed the green patch but now I agree with you, grrrr. It was the scene through the back window and between the headrests, so I don't suppose I could have done much about it, but a plain or darker background would have been less distracting.
That's a cool shot for occupation, the half heads look difficult to crop anywhere else so think choosing where you did was the best option keeping all legs in the main characters
You - Annnnd yes it is a new take on your avatar, like it
Thanks, Dean. I did consider cropping them out completely but, as you say, it would have been brutal to the forward-facing passengers. I left them in as it sets the scene of there being more people involved in the conversation. One of those images that seems a great idea at the time, on reflection isn't really a 'good' image but can't be re-taken. As for You, I'd forgotten that the previous image is my avatar. That was taken in the USA, with a Canon
so I think my next task should be to change it to the up-to-date version
