I wouldn't call that a shoehorn - fits the theme for me. I like the addition of the coffee and the lovely wooden texture - it has a relaxed feel.
Thanks!
I was going for chilled. The Astia simulation was almost there without any PP.
My biggest dream ever was to ride through Death Valley and Route 66 on a trike, a cool shot for the theme and not a shoe horn.
Cheers!
A friend of mine (and coincidentally a mutual friend of the author) did that a couple of years ago. He and his wife rented a couple of Roadkings and did the lot... Jealous... who, me?
As the others have said Nick, fits the theme quite nicely.
I do enjoy the composition and colour tones in the image, very pleasing on the eye.
Thank you!
I did move the different elements around a bit, but the arrangement here just seemed the best to my eye. The tones are untouched Fuji.
Excellent idea for the theme and a personal connection too
Thanks!
I killed two birds with one stone, I got my 'numbers' submission, and I had a pic to announce it's arrival with on Facebook in the interests of raising awareness.
Route 55 perfect for the theme. Love the backstory and the composition - looks like you're settling down for a good read.
Cheers!
I was settling down for a good read.... but I had to make another coffee as that one had gone cold by the time I'd got the picture right!
Really like the image and clicked through to find out more about the story. Glad I did.
Thank you!
It's probably a bit of shameless pseudo-promotion, but I'm happy with how the shot came out.
Fab flat lay! Book sounds really interesting. What a cool project! Really great image
Thanks!
It's an interesting read, and beautifully presented. I'm quite envious of the adventure that it must heve been to put it together.
Looks like an interesting book, quite a promotional picture.
Cheers!
I had half planned what I was going to do when it arrived, but then the theme was drawn and I realised that it would fit.
A13 - Trunk Road to the Sea.
Let's see if *anyone* get's that reference !
Crikey that takes me back!

Most certainly not a shoehorn. Loving the arrangement, the tea pot has a really interesting pattern. The tray and table/work top go together nicely.
Thank you!
It's an ancient Moka Pot, battered and tarnished, but for some reason that just makes the coffee taste better. The background is actually the kitchen floor, as it seemd to work better with the tray than the worktop did, and I figured it could pass as a worktop if I didn't give the game away.... Damn!
