Lovely photo, it's just screaming lazy, summer vacation. I feel like grabbing my sunglasses and suntan lotion just looking at it.

Great photo, it's just screaming hot and lazy. I can almost feel the breeze of the fan in the background. Very good, my pick for a top three finish - Gary.

Zero spot editing. How?

Wow! Thanx for all the wonderful, and friendly comments.

I had some bad luck after taking this photo by the way. Silly me, left the rubber tube hanging out of the aquarium and overnight all the water (approx. 120 liters!) siphoned out onto the living room floor :-(

Wasn't a very nice sight to wake up to the next morning!

The things DPC'ers do just for a good photo :-) Okay I'll ask, what is it? Did ya blow up the neighbours house? Or is this your idea of a good barbecue? The rich colors are so vibrant, your photo has really come alive. Just the two little black marks in the sky are a little bothersome, but without spot editing them there isn't much you can do about it - 9.

Very funny photo! Actually looking at this pic a couple of questions jump to mind, so you've met the challenge at least twofold for me, well done - 9.
