Short of ideas and inspirations this week (I blame the weather! ). So this is one of those PABD (publish and be damned) shot.
Thick - a good fun shot with the Lego characters, works for me.
Abundance - WOW that is alot of Irn bru in that image, I could do with a few cases of that myself, one of my favourite fizzy drinks. For a PABD it is a good image for the theme, another box ticked for you.
Hi Stan
Thick ... fun, colourful image ... sharpe in all the right places.
Abundance ... sure is a lot of URN BRU ... you should send some south of the border, not sure I've ever tasted it.
Thick works well Stan, love the use of Macro!
Abundance works too for the theme!!
Nice shot, lots of colours and sugar. It's too sweet for me these days
Good shot. An abundance of "girders" in that one (you have to be of a certain age ).

Just a bit of tweaking to straighten it, and a bit of a crop.
Nice image Stan, very sharp and bang on for the theme. it did make me chuckle.
There is a trick you could employ with images like this where there is a tendency for the subject to float on the background.
That gives you a fake but believable reflection and removes any floatyness from the image. Give it a go and see if you like it.
- Duplicate the layer.
- Flip it horizontally and vertically.
- Position the duplicate layer so that it's below the subject, with the inverted subject just touching.
- Lower the opacity to say 10%
Like it, great idea for theme. made me smile.

Nice heavy shot Stan, on theme too.
It’s a good idea but the floaty nature of it lets it down
I'm not surprised that someone did this for the theme, I thought exactly the same with the balancing scales, but i've not got any either.
Nicely on theme and good concept Stan
Cheers, Allan. I'm going to try out the 'fake' reflection idea by Tim and see how it turns out.
Thanks, Ian. I look forward to seeing your version.
Abundance must have been shot in Scotland, they love the stuff!
Heavy, good idea, but as others have said the scales are to isolated. Be interesting to see Tims idea used and see how the two then comapre.....
Deffo makes a difference, I prefer the bottom one, but the reflection appears a tad lighter than the above, is that right or just an effect of the crop ?
EDIT - maybe an opacity setting ?
